The last couple of days I fixed some minor bugs in the 2.6 and 2.7 code base. I have to work a lot during my daily work and so the development of phpMyFAQ 2.7 slowed down. Today I added the experimental support for Microsofts SQL Server Driver for PHP which will reduce some problems with the old PHP MS SQL Server driver. We’ll release this new driver support with phpMyFAQ 2.6.4 the next days.

Status update for phpMyFAQ 2.6.2
Due to a stupid bug added by myself during some tests for the 2.6.1 release I have to release phpMyFAQ 2.6.2 as soon as possible. Currently 2.0 and 2.5 users cannot upgrade with the update script included in the 2.6.1 package. Sorry for that.

This week was very good. We released phpMyFAQ 2.6 and got a lot of feedback after more than 1,000 downloads within the first 36 hours.

The last couple of days were full of bugfixing for the 2.5.3 release. I also started to re-work the export stuff for 2.6… As we support Docbook XML export I was wondering if anyone is using this?
