FileUpEE Version Differences
Differences Between V5.3.1 and V5.3.2
Features added
  • In Windows Vista and above clients with Internet Explorer 7 and above, implemented the ability to save files to any accessible directory while Internet Explorer is running in protected mode.
Issues Resolved
  • When uploaded file had a long filename (over 80 characters), setting FileUpEE’s "CodePage" property to Unicode (65001) caused corruption in the saved file’s name.
Issues Resolved in XFileEE version 2.5.2
  • Sending a regular GET request that doesn’t involve file download caused Internet Explorer to crash.
  • During downloads, turning on debug logging in the XFRequest object caused the “Unknown Error Occurred” error. In version 2.5.1, the same bug caused Internet Explorer to crash.

Issues Resolved in XFileEE version 2.5.0:
