A Great Joomlatools Summer

We listened to your feedback and released DOCman 1.6 for Joomla 1.7 at the beginning of the summer. DOCman 1.6 brings the same stability, performance and security you know from DOCman 1.5 to Joomla 1.7.

DOCman 1.4 end-of-life
Today we are announcing the end of support for DOCman 1.4. Released in February 2009 and downloaded more then 1 million times it has served us well for the past 2.5 years. With the end-of-life of DOCman 1.4 we are also officially saying goodbye to Joomla 1.0 which already reached its end of life on July 22, 2009.
We encourage everyone who is using DOCman 1.4 to upgrade to either DOCman 1.5 for Joomla 1.5 LTS (long term support) or DOCman 1.6 for Joomla 1.6/1.7 releases. Instructions on how to upgrade can be found on our support site.
We will continue to offer support for DOCman 1.4 on our forums until the 1st of September 2011 to help users migrate to DOCman 1.5/1.6.
With DOCman 1.6 released and the end-of-life of DOCman 1.4, we are now putting all our focus on DOCman 2.0. Keep a close eye on our blog, subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on twitter (@joomlatools) to receive more information.
DOCman 1.6 now available!
To some it may seem like the DOCman team had gone a little quiet of late but to those who know us it was a sure sign that something big was happening behind the scenes.
We are happy to announce the release of DOCman 1.6 for Joomla 1.6 and 1.7! Join our new Joomlatools club and download the latest update to the DOCman software in our Member Center.
A compatibility release
Conceived in 2003, DOCman has continued to be the premiere document management tool for Joomla for over 8 years. As many would already know we have been working on DOCman 2.0 which is itself a revolutionary rebuild of DOCman using Nooku Framework.
DOCman 1.6 does not include new features, instead we bring you the same stability, performance and security as DOCman 1.5 out of the box. It is intended that the DOCman 1.6 release will provide be a bridging solution for those already running with Joomla 1.6 or 1.7 and awaiting the release of DOCman 2.0.
Sneak peek into DOCman 2.0 development
Last week we gave you a view behind the Joomlatools curtain. Today we are pleased to tell you more about what our development team is doing, working hard on DOCman 2.0!
Our talented team have completely rewritten DOCman from top to bottom. DOCman 2.0 is powered by Nooku Framework and promises to be smaller, faster and smarter than ever before. Compatible with Joomla 1.5, Joomla 1.6 and Nooku Server out of the box.
Nooku Framework, the “new brain for Joomla”, is a rapid application development framework developed by our own Johan Janssens, Joomla 1.5′s lead developer. It allows us developers to develop in a blazing pace, while ensuring stability, maintenability and security.
An assortment of extensions is already using Nooku Framework as their engine, the most popular one being NinjaBoard. To this end, we will take every step to ensure smooth operation on sites where other Nooku Framework powered extensions are installed by using a compatible version of the Nooku Framework.
Yes folks, DOCman has been Nooku-fied and it’s coming soon!

Behind the Joomlatools curtain
The beginning of 2011 introduced three new faces in the Joomlatools scene – Israel Canasa, Ercan Ozkaya and Myra Jill Siason. Three vibrant, young, passionate experts in their own fields who have joined our team since February to bring you the next big thing: DOCman 2.0!
Israel and Ercan are taking charge of the DOCman 2.0 development while Myra is making sure sure that the team is running smoothly. Together with our Joomlatools regulars, we tripled our team size to bring you the best document manager for Joomla ever!
DOCman 2.0 is completely being re-written from scratch and built on-top of the Nooku Framework. It will work on both Joomla 1.5 & Joomla 1.6.
Distributed across Europe, Asia and Australia
One unique feature of the team is the distributed nature of its members. The whole team is spread out across three continents – Europe, Asia & Australia. This has not become a hindrance but rather an asset, talent knows no boundaries.
Managing a distributed team is not easy, but all together we make it work. Essential to the process is proper and efficient use of online collaboration tools. For the project workspace, we use Assembla. Over the past 2 months we have been working on DOCman 2.0 in iterations of two weeks. We have taken Agile development strategies, tailor fitted them to the Joomlatools philosophy and have made them our own.
DOCman 1.5.10 and 1.4.2 released
We are happy to announce the immediate availability of DOCman 1.5.10 and DOCman 1.4.2!
During the recent holidays, a medium level vulnerability was discovered in DOCman. We found a query that wasn’t being properly escaped and could lead to an SQL Injection. There is no known exploit for this vulnerability and it would be very difficult to create one because there are other security measures in place.
At Joomlatools we are fanatic about security and even if DOCman 1.5.9 has recently been released, we recommend upgrading to 1.5.10 just to be on the safe side.
This vulnerability affects all versions of DOCman prior to 1.5.10. So if you’re using 1.5.9 or older, please upgrade to 1.5.10. If you’re using 1.4.1 or older, please upgrade to 1.4.2.
Joomladays you can’t miss!
Joomla event season is starting again and we are firing up our engines. We already blogged about J! And Beyond, but there’s more:
Joomladay France
First up is the Joomladay France in Bordeaux, on March 21st, 2010. That’s this weekend, so if you haven’t booked yet, do it fast. It will be our first French Joomladay and we are excited about meeting old friends in real life, and making new ones.
We are not speaking at this event but are happy to answer any burning questions you might have regarding DOCman, Nooku, or Joomla. Come and find us at the event and say hi!
Joomladays Mallorca
If you need an excuse to visit the beautiful island of Mallorca, we’ve got some good news. We’ve been confirmed for two presentations on the Joomladay in Palma De Mallorca: On April 9th, we’re presenting Nooku Framework, and on April 10th we’ll be talking about what’s going on in the world of DOCman.
Joomladays Netherlands
We’ve never missed a Dutch Joomladay, and we always love going back. As usual it’s a two day event, April 23 & 24. This year’s theme is “Extraordinary: Beauty, Empowerment and Great Extensions”. From what we heard, the organizers are hand-picking the sessions, to make sure each presentation is top quality. We will post more information about our talks when the official schedule is announced. In the meantime, we can already guarantee some very cool stuff is going to happen in Utrecht!
Sweden and Denmark
Unfortunately, the Swedish and Danish Joomladays are on the same dates as the Dutch Joomladays, so we can’t attend. The good news is that Stian Didriksen, Ninjaboard Lead Developer and Nooku Framework early adopter will be speaking. The presentation is about his great new forum extension, but I’m sure he’d be happy to answer any Nooku questions you may have.
Get away from your desk!
Most of you have jobs that involve sitting at a desk all day and talking to people you never meet. Get up and visit at least one event this year. You’ll find that being able to discuss your hobby/job/passion with fellow aficionados in real life can be very inspiring!
