Hi all! What’s up with AjaXplorer? Well, I’m beginning a recording session in a studio next week, to work on my band’s next album, so I will have few time to work on AjaXplorer and answer the forum for a couple of weeks. Yes, i’m a professional musician before being an open-source geek (http://www.almasound.com/)!

But we’ve been working hard with Cyril on the 2.5 during the last weeks, so you can expect a new release at the beginning of June.

Amongst other features and enhancements :

  • Publiclets : The longly awaited « public download » link generation feature! This will be a killer one!
  • Scalability : Auto-paginate when a folder contains a huge number of items, make use of the standard GUI to manage all the configuration settings (huge number of users/repository was crashing the whole thing…)
  • Modularization / Integration : the authentication mechanism and configuration mechanism have been totally « pluginized », to ease integration with any other CMS or system.
  • New supported plugins : Ftp plugin, ssh, ldap for authentication, etc.
  • And lots of refactorings to enable these new features, making it even easier to develop new actions, new plugins, etc.

So stay tuned, the 2.5 will be great! For the most motivated, you can already work on the SVN version and try to detect the new features and test them…
