Sunday, October 11th, 2009The 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?
Status update for phpMyFAQ 2.5.3 / 2.6.0-alpha
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009The first 10 days after the switch from SVN to git were full of bugfixes and some new features. David Soria Parra fixed some SQLite issues, Anatoliy started the work for a new Pagination class, and I fixed some bugs in the 2.5 and master branch. I also re-added one missing feature: the internal FAQ link plugin in TinyMCE. The 2.5.3 release will be sometime in october, the 2.6.0-alpha release won’t happen before the end of the same month. The final 2.6 release won’t be in 2009…
Goodbye SVN, welcome git!
Monday, September 21st, 2009Today, David helped me to switch my SVN based repository to git. We merged the 2.0 and 2.5 branch and the now called master to git. The public clone is located at github.com. You can also get the Android and WebOS based clients for phpMyFAQ at github.

Status update for phpMyFAQ 2.5.3 / 2.6.0-alpha
Monday, September 7th, 2009We fixed a minor bug in the news section the last days after the 2.5.2 release. The interesting changes are currently in the trunk of phpMyFAQ. Anatoliy is working hard on the new attachment feature of phpMyFAQ 2.6. With the new classes it’s possible to encrypt attachments and safe the files in the filesystem or in the database. We also are working on a big change at our infrastucture: After 2 years we’ll migrate from SVN to git. We already have an account at github where a public repository will be hosted. And some colleagues implemented a nice working demo with a WebOS application as frontend for phpMyFAQ. More about this really cool stuff at the Mayflower blog.

Status update for phpMyFAQ 2.0.16 / 2.5.1 / 2.6.0-alpha
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009Today I received a great patch from Lars Scheithauer with some LDAP fixes and some great additions for our LDAP support. With Lars’ patch it’s now possible to authenticate against an Active Directory from Microsoft, using multiple domains in your Actice Directory, and he also added support for the PHP LDAP options. Thank you very much, Lars!
I added all these enhancements to phpMyFAQ 2.5.1 and 2.6.0-alpha. We also fixed some issues in all three supported branches. I think you can expect a release of 2.0.16 and 2.5.1 next week.
Status update for phpMyFAQ 2.6.0-alpha
Monday, August 3rd, 2009We added three new features the last couple of days. Anatoliy added user adjustable template sets and styles so that you can use mulitple templates. The phpMyFAQ default template was moved from ./template to ./template/default/. Aurimas Fišeras from Lithuania wrote support for TinyMCE translations, thank you very much! Myself added support for multi-language news… funny thing, this was already prepared since phpMyFAQ 2.0 but we forgot to implement it… More new features will be added the next two months, so stay tuned!
Status update for phpMyFAQ 2.6.0-alpha

Status update for phpMyFAQ 2.0.16 / 2.5.1 / 2.6.0-dev
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009Wow, we got some quite good feedback from our users after the 2.5 release yesterday. We also got some bug reports and we’re already fixed some minor issues. So expect a version 2.5.1 in August. In July we’ll release a maintainance release for phpMyFAQ 2.0. And we’re starting to merge the code of our UTF-8 branch back into the trunk for phpMyFAQ 2.6.
Work started on phpMyFAQ 2.6
Friday, May 15th, 2009Yes, we started a third branch. My employer Mayflower GmbH is holding the annual Mayflower barcamp there the whole company can code open source stuff for some days. This year we’re in South Tyrol, Italy. Anatoliy and myself chose a project based on phpMyFAQ: the UTF-8 migration. So we branched the trunk (which will be released as phpMyFAQ 2.5 in the next weeks and started to add full UTF-8 support in phpMyFAQ. After 2 days we’re almost done, all language files are based on UTF-8, we added a new PDF library with Unicode support and coded some migration scripts.
phpMyFAQ 2.6 will get more features in the near future, so stay tuned.
