This is a bugfix of 2.5.1. Mainly :

  • Fixed various download problems, and fixed the way download is performed, avoiding leaving the GUI on error.
  • Tracked E_NOTICE errors
  • Better documented the « LANG=C » case via the F.A.Q of this site
  • Better resizing for the splitter (keeps the ratios on resize).
  • Plus various bugs fixes, see Releases > AjaXplorer 2.5.2

What’s new in 2.5?

  • Killer features : the publiclets (e.g. « Generate public download url »), resumeable download, chmod action
  • GUI Usability & Performance : keeping the effort on GUI « stabilization » on many browsers, automatic pagination for folders containing tons of items, the administration panel is replaced by a specific driver, thus the standard Ajxp GUI is used for managing the repositories, the users, etc.
  • Plug-ins Architecture : the authentification mechanism, the configuration management, and the data access are now fully plug-in oriented. And a bunch of new plug-ins come with the distribution, to show the power of this architecture : connect AjaXplorer to an LDAP server for users management, use it as an FTP client or a MySQL database explorer, develop your own connections… A plug-in can now come with its own resources (images, js, css, i18n) so that we can publish plugins independantly from the core distribution. Everything is done to integrate AjaXplorer more easily inside other systems. One leitmotiv : TEST, CONTRIBUTE!!!

Migration from 2.4 : the best solution is to install in a new folder, then copy the server/conf/repo.ser and the server/users/ content from the old distribution to the new one, be sure to clear your browser cache, and it’s running fine. Do not override the server/conf/conf.php, but open it and edit with your own values if necessary. There are a lot of new stuff in it.

Migration from 2.5.1 : just unzip and overwrite the files of the previous distrib, there should be no changes.

Freash install : Download, unzip and access via your web server : the diagnostic tool will run once and tell you if potential problems are found. If everything is ok, you will directly access to AjaXplorer, now change the admin password and you are ready to use!
