Files that are in error for whatever reason such as a bad file extension, are now highlighted. Anyone who wishes to upgrade from the 6.7.1 release should simply swap out the 'ubr_file_upload.js' file.

This release fixes a bug where the rename functionality could enter an infinite loop in an obscure situation. It also fixes a bug where single post values where added to an array.

UU version 6.4 is NOT COMPATIBLE with prior releases.

This release adds CSS support and an option to use an alternative progress bar mechanism and type. Other small enhancements have been added.

Fixed minor bug where the flength file was included in the upload file count.

This release fixes a bug related to FF3(FireFox 3). When the browser is FF3 and the 'cedric_progress_bar' config setting is enabled, the progress bar will occasionaly lock up. This fix can be applied to other 6.x installs by overwriting the 'ubr_file_upload.js' file.

This release writes the link file using a foreach loop instead of writing out the config settings individually. This may seem trivial, but it allows developers to pass values through the upload process using the config file. This method is simple, secure and invisible to the end user. Also, added more comments and a few more file extensions to the 'disallow_extensions' config setting.

This release improves the chances of a successful install by adding more AJAX debug messages. Also, changes made to the multi config file functionality makes it more secure. If you are running a 6.3.x version and you do not use multi configs, there is no need to update your install.

This release adds support for checkbox arrays. Some minor bugs have also been fixed. Anyone upgrading from 6.3.3 should replace the 'ubr_upload.pl','ubr_finished.php' and ,ubr_finished_lib.php, files. Everyone else should install the entire package.

This release makes better use of browser memory by clearing out previous AJAX calls. A bug related to the 'about command' has also been fixed. Anyone upgrading from version 6.3.2 will have to replace the 'ubr_get_progress.php', 'ubr_set_progress.php','ubr_finished.php', 'ubr_file_upload.php' and 'ubr_file_upload.js' file. Everone else should install the entire package.

Removed deprecated values in the get progress bar status script. Also, added a new config setting that will give the user the option to hold the Cedric progress bar if it gets ahead of the actual bytes uploaded. If you are running version 6.3.1 and wish to upgrade, simply overwrite the 'ubr_file_upload.php', 'ubr_file_upload.js', 'ubr_default_config.php' and 'ubr_get_progress.php' files. Everyone else must download and install the entire package.

Anyone running 6.3 should not upgrade to this version. If you are running version 6.3 and wish to upgrade anyways, simply overwrite the 'ubr_upload.pl' and 'ubr_set_progress.php' file. Everyone else must download and install the entire package.

The primary focus on this release was to improve the chances of a successful install. This was done by sending more meaningful error messages to screen if UU fails in it's core functionality during setup.

This release gives complete control over file extensions through the config file. Also, a library has been added that contain functions for creating thumbnails and sharpening images. Other minor bug fixes and improvements also added. See change log for complete details. As almost every file was touched, this release is not compatible with prior versions of Uber-Uploader.

Several bug fixes concerning clean up, debug mode and DOM. Please see change log for more details. This version of Uber-Uploader is not compatible with earlier 6.x releases. A full upgrade is necessary.
