Hi all,

We've just made available YetiShare v4.3 via your account on yetishare.com. If you login (and you're still within support) you'll see the link to download it.

The main changes include PHP7 support (which is lightning fast!), user interface upgrades, advanced folder sharing, admin impersonate user, AdBlocker detection, improved session handling, performance enhancements, minor bug fixes and much more.

You can see it running on our demo site:

- https://fhscript.com
(login with user: 'admin' & pass: 'password')

How to Upgrade:

To upgrade your existing install, upload the /install/ folder and see the 'Upgrade an existing v4.x install' option. As with any changes, make sure you backup your existing code and database first. Note: Unfortunately we can't manage any custom changes you've made so you'll need to manually re-apply these.

If you're prefer us to arrange the upgrade we can do this for an upgrade fee of $39.00. We'll ensure the upgrade is configured on your site along with your original data. We can't retain any code or style changes you've made unfortunately.

Feel free to drop us an email on [email protected] if you have any questions.
