Today we released the latest update of DOCman 1.5 to our customers. These are some of the most important changes:
- PHP 5.3 compatibility. Depending on your server configuration, running DOCman on PHP 5.3 produced a couple of innocent yet annoying error messages.
- Special characters in filenames. DOCman is now much better equiped to handle filenames with all kinds of strange characters in them.
- Deleted users. When you delete a user, the documents that user owned now no longer generate errors.
- Clear Thumbnails. This new item in the 'Clear data' panel allows you to remove the thumbnails for all documents. This useful in combination with the upcoming Thumbnail generation add-on.
- ... and a whole bunch of other fixes and improvements.
As usual, users who bought v1.5.x get free updates. To get you own copy, head over to the Joomlatools Store.
UPDATE: When upgrading, make sure you are using the special upgrade package called upgrade_docman_v1.5.x_to_v1.5.2.r1147.tar.gz, and not the normal package called docman_v1.5.2.r1147.tar.gz. Download links for both packages are in the email that is sent to all customers.

I'm very happy to announce that in the coming days, we are also releasing the DOCman Productivity Pack. This contains three must-have add-ons to DOCman that can really boost your workflow:

- DOCman Notify: Get notification emails whenever documents are uploaded or edited
More on the DOCman Productivity pack later!
