Changelog

This changelog lists every released version of Fileshelf, the most recent first.

Version 1.5.0 – 11 November 2026

Security

Lists no longer show downloads from categories whose parent category is unpublished or closed to the visitor – not even as a title. Pro version: one-time links and download limits count downloads in several parts exactly once; the link for an e-mail address replaces only this one hurdle now. Wrong passwords are counted on the server: a new browser window no longer gets round the wait, many wrong attempts lock the password briefly for everyone. Uploads and the form check every permission; mails always link the real address of the website, never one forged by a visitor.

Changed

Large collections stay fast: category pages, lists, statistics and the download form load quickly even with tens of thousands of downloads.

Version 1.4.0 – 10 November 2026

Added

• Pro version: upload many files at once, one download per file; “Check uploads” is now called “Approve uploads” and explains where the files come from.
• Categories on the website with a category tree, as cards or as a sortable table, plus search, sorting, a file type filter and a path back.
• Under Tools you create demo data including menu items with one click to try Fileshelf on your website, and remove them just as easily.

Changed

• New dashboard: storage folder and inventory at the top, below it ordered by task; every page has “Dashboard” and “Options” at the top and the installed version at the bottom.

Fixed

• Fixed: “Download” and unlocking with a password work again on category pages; “Version” and “License” stand with the facts about the file, the license in your language.

Version 1.3.0 – 10 November 2026

Added

• Fileshelf writes to Joomla's action log: who creates, changes, publishes or deletes downloads and who sets or removes passwords.
• Pro version: a new import takes over categories, downloads, files and counts from Phoca Download, jDownloads and Dropfiles, and plan documents of Membership Pro.
• Pro version: after an import, Fileshelf can replace the old shortcodes in articles, create redirects for old addresses and switch menu items.

Version 1.2.0 – 10 November 2026

Added

• New menu item type "Extension page": extensions for Fileshelf can offer their own pages on the website, if desired only for logged-in visitors.
• Pro version: downloads and categories can be bound to plans of Membership Pro. Members find their downloads under "My downloads", with a welcome mail if you like.
• Pro version: downloads in the YOOtheme Pro page builder (dynamic content, element for download lists) and in the link dialog of the JCE editor, there as a shortcode, too.
• Pro version: "Download all" loads all downloads of a category as one ZIP archive; a read-me inside names what is not allowed.
• Pro version: authorised users upload files on the website; they appear only after you approve them under "Check uploads".

Version 1.1.0 – 10 November 2026

Added

• New: the Pro version. It shows download statistics per day and per download with export – without storing IP addresses. The dashboard names the installed version.
• Pro version: when you replace a file, the earlier one stays available as a version with its changes; downloads can get an expiry date and then stay visible with a lock.
• Pro version: download links that work once or until a date, and downloads visitors only get after confirming their e-mail address.
• Pro version: download limits per user group, category or download – per day, week, month or in total; the list says when downloading is possible again.
• Pro version: subscriptions to new versions and download reports by mail; Joomla's privacy requests include Fileshelf's data, addresses are deleted after a period.

Version 1.0.0 – 9 November 2026

Added

• Initial release.
