Release notes
The waiting is over! Get Prepared (TM) for the long due, considerably improved, and totally sweet release of filefield 5.x-2.0.
While this release doesn't fix all issues that existed, many of the unpopular shortcomings of 5.x-1.0 are fixed, including:
- Allowed file extensions: now arbitrarily long and case insensitive.
- Appearance: now themeable and AJAXified. Also, the description text is actually used in the node view and in views.
- Options and checkboxes: the "Required" setting is enforced, the upload path is configurable, and the "List" option now actually works as advertised and can be hidden.
- Now also properly works with private downloads.
- Does not mess up your CCK tables.
- Plus a load of other fixes and additions, some of which I can't even remember because they were done before I got into co-maintaining this module.
Filefield 5.x-2.0 works without changes to the database structure, so there shouldn't be any up- or downgrading issues from 4.7.x or 5.x-1.0. (However, Rhino25782 made me notice that the menu cache is not automatically cleared on updating, so if you update from 1.x, please do so manually for now.)
In short, there's no reason you should wait for upgrading to the new version. The 5.x-1.0 release is now officially deprecated, please only report bugs against 5.x-2.0 and close your (own) 5.x-1.0 bugs if they don't apply anymore. I hope the new release does a good job for you, and with a bit of luck this release is solid enough to not get hurt by dopry for pushing it out. Upload and enjoy!
