Oct 25, 2000 - AspUpload 2.1 Released

AspUpload 2.1 has been released. New features include:

• Improved File Download Functionality. The method SendBinary has been given another optional argument, Attachment, which controls whether the Content-Disposition header has the keyword "attachment;" in it which forces a download for certain file types instead of opening a document in-place in the IE browser.
• One-way Hash Function Computation for Uploaded Files. The new property File.MD5Hash returns the MD5 one-way hash function (a.k.a. digest or fingerprint) of an uploaded file. This enables your application to check whether a certain file already exists in your document repository by comparing the hash value of the new file with the hash values of existing files which is much faster that comparing the files themselves.
• PNG Format Support. In addition to image size extraction functionality for GIF, JPG and BMP files, AspUpload 2.1 can also extract image size information from PNG files.
• Several minor bugs fixed.

Feb. 7, 2000 - AspUpload version 2.0 Released

Version 2.0 of our industry-standard upload solution is packed with features you have been waiting for. This includes:

• Full ADO support. Use the convenience of ADO objects such as Recordset and Command to save files to the database as blobs and export files from the database. Now you can even pass a file as a parameter to a transactional SQL stored procedure.
• MacBinary support. Ever noticed that files uploaded from a MAC are sometimes no longer readable on a PC? Well, not anymore. AspUpload 2.0 automatically detects files in the MacBinary format, extracts the data fork portion and filters out MAC-specific stuff.
• Image size extraction. Want to limit the size of images your users can upload to your server? No problem. The new version is capable of extracting image size information from GIF, JPEG and BMP images.
• Uploads to memory. This great feature will make that annoying file name collision problem disappear forever. It also gives you better performance and security, especially if the ultimate destination of uploaded files is a database.
• Directory uploads. With the help of the XUpload ActiveX control you can upload entire directory structures, not just individual files. Look for directory upload code samples in XUpload 2.0.
• New methods and properties you've been asking for have been added, such as File.ContentType, File.ImageType, File.SaveAs, Upload.IgnoreNoPost, Upload.Expires, and more.
• 15 new code samples and a setup program.
