DOCman 1.6.3 released

12 December 2011

We are pleased to announce the immediately availability of DOCman 1.6.3 for Joomla 1.7. This release is available for download for all members of our Member Center.

This hotfix release fixes one (1) major bug in 1.6.2. This bug also affects all previous versions of DOCman 1.6.x. running on Joomla 1.7.3. DOCman 1.6.x running on Joomla 1.7.2 or below is not affected. This bug does not affect the DOCman 1.5.x series

We became aware of issues with DOCman 1.6.x running on Joomla 1.7.3 through user reports on our forums. A change in Joomla 1.7.3 caused an unanticipated `Itemid` regression in DOCman.  The result was, in some cases, categories or documents which are meant to be visible to the public would ask you to login or would return a 403 error.

More information about the new releases can be found in our change-logs.

    Thanks for this update, however the problem I posted was on Joomla 1.5 installation.
    Will a hotfix be released for 1.5 as well?

    Still waiting for DOCman 2.0… You are so silent about this previously announced “magic” piece of software… And since Nothing !

  • http://johan.janssens.me Johan Janssens

    The team has been working hard on DOCman 2.0 over the past months. We realized that DOCman is basically made up of 3 key features: files, documents and logs.

    Together, these three make up the core functionality. Instead of holding of until all three features are ready, we have decided to release them as separate extensions. The first two extensions we are releasing are FILEman and LOGman. We released beta’s end of last year and are now getting ready to release the 1.0 versions. 

    Fore more info on FILEman and LOGman see : http://blog.joomlatools.eu/2011/11/meet-fileman-and-logman.html
