eXtplorer Version 2.1.6 has been released with the following changes:

- fixed https usage for ports other than 443
- fixed XSS issue related to PHP_SELF
- added date range filtering to file search
- simplified search function
- fixed scrambled non-ASCII file names on UTF-8 systems

Please update to this new eXtplorer version as it fixes an XSS security issue. Also the UTF-8 fix is recommended for users with non-ASCII filenames.

Version 2.1.5 of eXtplorer is now available. This release fixes a vulnerability that allowed to access eXtplorer installations in Joomla! via the standalone interface bypassing the Joomla! authentication. Please update immediately!

The latest version of eXtplorer fixes some security issues found by Vikas Singhal of Trustwave SpiderLabs. A quick upgrade to this version is advised.

This version also has a fixed version check link, it now points to extplorer.net.

This morning we were notified of a problem within the authentication system of eXtplorer by Brendan Coles of itsecuritysolutions.org. Versions 2.1.2, 2.1.1, 2.1.0 and 2.1.0RC5 have found to be vulnerable to an authentication bypass bug.
This bug has been fixed in the latest release of eXtplorer (2.1.3), which you should download and install/upgrade immediately!

The latest release of eXtplorer - version 2.1.1 - brings compatibility to Joomla! 3.0, which is the current latest version. No features have been added or bugs been resolved. So if you need eXtplorer for us in Joomla! 3.0, you must use eXtplorer 2.1.1 (or later).

A new version of eXtplorer is available now, which brings compatibility with Joomla! 1.7.
Make sure you get the new version now!

The current eXtplorer version has a minor bug that prevents it from loading in Joomla! 1.7. As long as no newer version has been released (which is to be expected soon!), you can fix the bug by changing the file /administrator/components/com_extplorer/include/function.php:

Replace lines 741-743
###
if( $jversion->RELEASE != substr($version, 0, 3 ) ) {
return false;
}
###

with this new code:

###
$this_version = $jversion->RELEASE;
###

This should fix the problem.

With eXtplorer 2.1.0 RC3 you have a file manager component, which installs and runs under Joomla! 1.6 (as well as Joomla! 1.5 and 1.0).

Finally, after a long beta phase I have decided to make a release candidate available to the public which can be tested.
eXtplorer 2.1 comes with ExtJS 3.2.1, RAR unpacking (when supported by your PHP installation) and basic SSH2 support.

This new version of eXtplorer fixes a security issue (file contents disclosure), which is present in all versions <= 2.0.0. An instant update is highly recommended. Just uninstall and reinstall the component.
A new feature has been added: WebDAV support. Information on how to set it up can be found on the Wiki (soon).

Besides that, some other minor bugs have been fixed.

Finally, after months of development in beta- and RC-phase, eXtplorer 2.0 has been released!
Make sure you download and test-drive it instantly. It installs on Joomla! 1.0.x, Joomla! 1.5.x and can also be run as a standalone app.

And again a new version of eXtplorer is available! eXtplorer 2.0 RC4 will be the last Release Candidate before going stable.
This version brings a new Syntax-Highlighting Editor called "EditArea", which brings a bunch of new features and speed-improvements compared to CodePress.
Please check it out!

A new version of eXtplorer has been released. No new features have been introduced, but a serious security hole has been fixed (XSS + File Disclosure).
An update is highly recommended for all users of eXtplorer.

A Security Release for joomlaXplorer is available. An upgrade is highly recommended for those, who are using the frontend browsing/download feature.

The eXtplorer Team is proud to announce the release of eXtplorer 2.0.0 RC2. It fixes some annyoing bugs and can be considered as fairly stable.
Head over to the "Files" section in the project and load your copy of this new version.

A new version of joomlaxplorer is available! Version 1.6.2 of joomlaXplorer fixes some minor bugs (including the FTP Upload 403 bug).
An update for all joomlaXplorer users is highly recommended.

I'm proud to announce the availability of eXtplorer 2.0.0 RC1. The most annyoing bugs have been fixed and you can now use the script on production sites.
eXtplorer works standalone and on Joomla! 1.0 / 1.5 (natively).
Upgrade now!

A new beta version of eXtplorer 2 has been released!
This version should finally fix the problems with older Joomla! versions which stopped the application to load.
A Server-to-Server feature has been added, so you can directly download files from the internet to your server.
The language files have been updated with the language tokens, so all translators are called to update the files of their mother tongue.

All testers are welcome to test and report bugs found during usage.

In the future the joomlaXplorer project will be continuing as "eXtplorer". eXtplorer is the joomlaXplorer version 2, plus re-activated stand-alone capabilities.
While the joomlaXplorer 1.x branch is maintained under the old name, eXtplorer will be developed as a File Manager without having Joomla! as a requirement, but as an option.
This means you can install eXtplorer into Joomla as a component and use it from inside Joomla!.
I also decided to keep the version numbering (this better reflects the maturity of the software).
So you can now download the first version of eXtplorer (version 2.0.0 beta3) and test it on your server. Note that you can now use joomlaXplorer and eXtplorer on the same Joomla! installation, because also the component directory has been renamed.

Don't forget to check out the new home of eXtplorer: http://extplorer.sourceforge.net.

Shortly after joomlaXplorer 2 beta1 was out, a lot of users have posted their feedback and bug reports in the forum/bug tracker. That's why I could fix some of the most annoying bugs with the new version. It's now even successfully tested on Konqueror and Safari 3 (Win).
I recommended to test drive this new version and report your experience(s) back here!

This new version of the joomlaXplorer brings new directory names for those who can't have hidden directories (like on Yahoo! hosting).
MooTools 1.11 is on board and CodePress has been updated to version 0.95.
There have also been various bugs fixes which should make everyone happy to upgrade to this new version of the 1.x branch.

I'm proud to announce the availability of the next generation of the famous joomlaXplorer:
joomlaXplorer 2.0 is a web-based desktop-like file manager for Joomla!. It uses the new ExtJS (http://extjs.com) Javascript Framework for Layouting, displays the Directory Structure in a Tree, the Files in a Grid and allows Drag&Drop Actions to copy and move. All file and directory actions can be accessed through right-click context menu as well as through a new toolbar.

Directory navigation has been made easier by introducing a navigation similar to Windows Vista's Explorer - just try it out.

Please note that all javascript functionality might only be available on Internet Explorer 6+ and Firefox 1.5+. Opera doesn't like right-click actions and the dialogs, Safari and Konqueror are untested.
