DropBox / News: Recent posts

A bug fix release of Dropbox was made available this morning. This should get rid of an issue when deleting files (some users were seeing a foreach() php error).

I am proud to release Dropbox v0.0.6Beta. This release addresses a major bug which was ignoring the user's choice of whether or not to make a file public. I actually jumped a release, as I had previously made a small change for the v0.0.5Beta release, yet never got around to releasing it.

Another day, another dropbox release... I received an email last night regarding some security flaws in the application, mainly due to lazy coding :).

I spent some time today making the application much more secure, as well as fixing a few bugs I'd noticed. There are probably no major changes, which will be noticeable, other than:
- The system now checks to see if an uploaded file already exists before commiting it to the uploads dir.
- A message is now displayed when you successfully delete a file.... read more

Three releases.. three days. This release is pretty minor, actually, as it mainly deals with a few file permission issues that I'd realized last night after releasing v0.0.2Beta. If you have that version working, I'd just skip this release, to be honest.

Also, I released a bz2 (bzip) package, as well as the standard gz (gzip) package with this release. Let me know if you'd like it packaged any other way, and I'll make it so.

I ended up with a bit of time on my hands, so I decided to implement some valuable changes to the DropBox. Users now have the ability to make a file private, as well as the ability to delete a file which _they have_ uploaded.

If upgrading from v0.0.1Beta, be sure to read the upgrade instructions as there is a script you'll need to run before you will see existing files.

The php-dropbox team (well... me, really) are proud to release DropBox v0.0.1 Beta. The beta release of the project allows the user to upload and download files from the common repository.

This application was written, and tested on a Debian environment, but should run without issue on any *nix system. Where this is the first release, I expect that there are some setup/configuration bugs to hash out, so feel free to contact me if you run into issues. ... read more
