Release of WF-Downloads 3.1 RC 1Fellow Xoopsers, The SmartFactory is very announce the release of its latest work: WF-Downloads 3.1 RC1 ! What is WF-Downloads? WF-Downloads is an advanced Downloads module for your XOOPS 2.x site. With this powerfull module, you can easily set a downloads section on your site and offer unlimited amount of files to your users. The module supports subcategories, has a fully integrated permissions system as well as a complete notifications system.

You can even allow your users to submit and upload files on your site, given that they have the proper permissions .

The module supports any XOOPS versions between 2.0.10 and 2.2.x.

What happened to version 3.0?

In the 3.0 release, some issues were discovered that wcould not be resolved within the limitation of a release candidate status. So we went back to the lab and turned to version 3.1.

The main advantage for you is that, despite being more robust and more secure, the module even acquired some new features along the way ! And don't worry, you will be able to easily upgrade from version 3.0 RC 1 (as well as old 2.05 version ) to 3.1 RC 1.

What's new in version 3.1 RC 1?

- Improved file security for downloads
- Query count optimisation and other code optimisations
- All new mirror system allowing support for multiple mirrors per file and more details
- Improved module navigation through the classic SmartModules breadcrumb
- Post count option - you can now set the minimum of posts required for download/upload
- And A LOT of bugfixes (have a look at the changelog within the module package)

Where can I get it ?

First, if you are already using a previous version of WF-Downloads it is ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY that you read the module documentation (included in the wfdownloads\docs\english\readme.html) before upgrading the module. This release includes some changes that need your attention in order for the module to work perfectly for you.

As a usual recommendation : The SmartFactory STRONGLY recommends that you take a full backup before INSTALLING or UPDATING any module.

You can download the module here: WF-Downloads 3.1 RC 1

The language packs are available here : WF-Downloads Language packs. However, please note that, at the time of releasing the module, there is no language packs available for this version. We encourage the community to create the different language package needed and submit them on The SmartFactory site.

Help and comments ?

As usual, any comments, bugs or suggestions are welcomed on the SmartDownload Community Support Forum.

THUMBS UP for the SmartFactory Team !

Finally, I would like to take the opportunity to mentionned the amazing work accomplished by The SmartFactory Team on this release. We have been a true team, working together as a team and helping each other as a team. I beleive this is the true spirit of a development team.

Special thanks to Jan, M0nty, Bender and DavidL !
