Collabtive 0.7.6 released
Today we announce the release of Collabtive 0.7.6.
It is the last release in the 0.7 series. It brings some new functionality, as well as bugfixes and security improvements.
Security improvements
- Removed the openID login code since it has not been functional for quite some time, and was based on a terribly outdated library. This posed a possible security risk due to bugs in openID 1.0
- Added a check to the installer to prevent it from being used once Collabtive has already been installed
- Improved filetype checking when uploading the user avatar, to prevent uploading of anything other than pictures
Filemanager improvements
The focus of functional improvements for this release has been our filemanager.
It now has improved drag and drop support, improved display of the paths in the titlebar. It also gained a list view option in addition to the traditional grid view.
Have a look at the improvements here:
The uploading of files has also been greatly improved.
For browsers that can support it (that is not IE - tested with Chrome, Firefox) there is now a greatly simplified uploading form.
It uses HTML5 to make uploading multiple files really easy, and display a real progressbar when uploading.
Have a look:
Updating
Be sure to backup your database before doing an update.
Updating from earlier versions of Collabtive is supported using 6 steps:
- Unpack the Collabtive archive.
- Retrieve config.php from your server.
- Put your config.php in /config/standard/ in the folder where you unpacked the archive, replacing the blank one.
- Upload everything to your server, replacing any old Collabtive files.
- Point your browser to update.php.
- Delete install.php and update.php from your server.
If you use one of our Plugins - you need to re-install them after updating, and run update.php again.
All plugins purchased for Collabtive 0.7 (or 0.7.5) stay compatible with Collabtive 0.7.6

These are good choices for improvements to be made. Had tried previous release and abandoned using this,otherwise simple and useful system. Now looks like you’ve got a real winner here.
Thanks

What about a Bugtracker or a place for new feature ideas? Maybe a community forum would be a good idea?

Hi, I think one important feature that is missing is the option to modify the start date.
I have being testing Collabtive 0.7.6 and its really great for project management.
Easy to use, great user interface, easy to navigate, really great job!
But, not being able to modify that start date on milestones and tasks, generate two important problems or inconveniences.
1) Prevents users to plan efficiently ahead the workflow of the project.
2) Coordinators cant assign or set specific tasks for specific dates. Some projects do need this possibility.
3) Cant assign tasks that must be done before starting other tasks.
4) Cant used it on ongoing projects, as it cant be used to add past. activities.
So, please consider this for future versions. On the forums it seems you don’t see much importance on this request.
