You can find the download links on its product page or Google Code.

I have just finished polishing up the New JavaScript Packer included in XtraUpload 1.6 and I am releasing it as a separate product. JS-AIO is a very small, very efficient JavaScript packer written in PHP. Here are some stats about its usefulness:

Without JS-AIO

• 14 files
• 232kb file size

With JS-AIO

• 1 File
• 33.2kb file size

I think it really speaks for itself, but if you want more information please visit its product page.

I have completed the forum maintenance detailed in a earlier blog post just now.

Please read the previous post for more information of Part 2 of this Maintenance.

As a warning to all, the forums will be taken down tonight and receive a massive cleaning. Our new direction for the forums is to provide accurate support and the way the current forums are it is exceedingly hard to accomplish that. This is a 2 part operation, the details of which are below. (more…)

Well now that the site is 80% complete I can sit back and enjoy what 24 hours have produced. I was reluctant about using WordPress for the new site, mainly because I had very little prior experience using it as a CMS. That changed quickly and I learned the whole system in about an hour. I love the new admin design and the helpful additions 2.6 brings, like version control and gears support. Well now that its basically setup I will be getting back to work on XtraUpload 2.0. The details are abundant on the fourms and those details will be moving over to the new site slowly. Some features I had announced as complete will be moved out of the core into addons, my goal is to provide a rock solid file hosting platform before anything else. Thankfully CodeIgniter allows drop-in modules to be deployed for maximum ease of use. More details to come later(read: tomorrow), for now im open for comments, questions, bug reports etc.

Welcome to the beginning of a new site, now built on WordPress! Many of you wont see this for another month or so, but to those who find this: Good Job, I think… More information to come, I hope to blog here at least once a day.

This will be the place to find definitive information on all things XtraFile and XtraUpload, along with some other pet projects I am working on. Watch this space for more information…
