The phpMyFAQ Team would like to announce the availability of the first release candidate of our next generation release, phpMyFAQ 2.5.0-RC, the “Anne Frank” release. With this release we removed the last Prototype based JavaScript code, we added visual Ajax indicators in administration backend, a new Image and File Manager in administration backend, and we added a translation frontend for editing and sharing phpMyFAQ’s translation files. We also improved some language files and fixed a lot of bugs. Do not use this version in production systems, but test this version and report bugs!

Today we re-added a new Image and File Manager for phpMyFAQ 2.5. The new component is fully Ajax-based and very cool to handle. We also fixed some bugs reported by some beta testers.

The phpMyFAQ team is pleased to announce the beta version of our next generation release, phpMyFAQ 2.5.0-beta, the “Audrey Hepburn” release. We added new administration layout, a frontend for search logs statistics, sticky FAQ records, a smart answering for user questions, a string wrapper for better UTF-8 handling, and an ajaxified comment and record administration. We updated the bundled jQuery to version 1.3.2, the bundled TinyMCE editor component to version 3.2.2.3, and the bundled Net_IDNA to version 0.6.3. We removed Prototype and Script.aculo.us, and we fixed a lot of bugs. Do not use this version in production systems, but test this version and report bugs!

The phpMyFAQ team is pleased to announce phpMyFAQ 2.0.13, the “David Soria Parra” release.

It also fixes some minor issues.

A special thank you to David Soria Parra, who patched my PHP with his dtrace patch!
