Version 1.7.3 – 16 August 2026
Fixed
  
The links in the overview panel always led to the German manual. They now follow the configured language.
  
The panel shown after the installation named licence version 2. It now shows the GNU General Public License version 3 or later, as everywhere else.
Version 1.7.2 – 31 July 2026
Changed
  
The extension is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3 or later. All details on licence, author and copyright are consistent.
Fixed
  
The licence file shipped named a different product and contained only a short notice instead of the full licence text.
Version 1.7.1 – 31 July 2026
Added
  
After an installation or update an overview panel appears with version, status and entry points to getting started, download key and manual.
  
A click on "Enable updates" leads straight to the update sites, already filtered to missing download keys.
  
The extension manager now shows the list of changes behind the version number.
Changed
  
Notices about leftover files of an old version or about Phoca Download being disabled now appear in the overview panel instead of loosely beside it.
Language
  
All messages shown during installation and update are available in German and English.
Version 1.7.0 – 30 July 2026
Security
  
Downloads now follow the visibility rules of Phoca Download: access level, publishing period and content language are respected.
  
Until now, downloads with restricted access or a publishing period appeared publicly in the layout.
  
Determining the file size can no longer escape from the download folder.
  
All database values go through bound parameters.
Changed
  
Large lists load considerably faster: categories and tags are fetched in bulk instead of per document.
  
On regular page views the queries for the builder's selection lists are gone; they only run in the customizer.
  
Complete modernisation onto the Joomla 6 architecture — no more deprecation warnings.
  
The download key is passed in the form the update server expects; existing update sites are converted during the installation.
  
The category selection in the builder is sorted hierarchically and indented, and the image fields carry unambiguous labels.
  
The display name is now "System - Phoca Download Source".
Fixed
  
An update no longer leaves files of old versions behind.
Removed
  
The plugin no longer disables itself when Phoca Download is missing. Instead the installation stops without the component; at runtime it simply has no effect.
  
An interface endpoint unused since 1.2.0 was removed.
Version 1.6.0 – 6 March 2025
Added
  
The download key is managed centrally under System → Update → Update Sites.
  
A key previously stored in the plugin settings is taken over during the installation.
Version 1.5.0
Changed
  
Update connection and download key as a plugin setting — the precursor to the central management in 1.6.0.
Version 1.3.0 – 22 January 2025
Added
  
Automatic detection of the file type with a matching icon for more than 60 file types.
Version 1.2.1 – 22 January 2025
Fixed
  
The YOOtheme builder showed raw text keys instead of the labels.
Version 1.2.0 – 22 January 2025
Language
  
Full multilingual support in German and English.
