Last but not least, you have been waiting for a long time now, it’s hot, it’s here : AjaXplorer 2.5 !

First of all, please be aware that as all odd versions, this is a dev version : it is already quite stable but is in fact mainly dedicated to testing the new features and architecture. So please download, install, test and report bugs, so that the next stable version (2.6) can go out soon! Meanwhile, an effort will be done on the documentation.


What’s new?

  • 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 : CONTRIBUTE!!!
  • Bug fixes : tons of bug fixes, see the complete AjaXplorer 2.5 Release Note

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.

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!
