Yetishare v5.0.0 Released!

By Adam posted on 21st October 2020

Hi all,

We've just released Yetishare v5.0.0 via your account on yetishare.com. If you login and you're still within support, you'll see the link to download.

You can see it up and running on our demo site:

https://fhscript.com
(login with user: 'admin' & pass: 'Password@Demo')

Overview of changes:

This release has been in development for some time and brings a complete rewrite to the core script framework. This new framework performs significantly better but it also makes maintaining the code a lot easier. So going forward you should see a lot more regular updates.

We've also bundled file previews with the core script, rather than in separate paid plugins. You can now view various files types like video, audio, documents and images, directly in the script.

See the release notes below for the breakdown of changes.

How to install or upgrade:

Upload the /install folder to your website and load yoursite.com/install. Note that the upgrade process has changed in this release, so please read it carefully. We're happy to help if you get stuck.

What about the paid plugins?

Nearly all of the paid plugins have been updated and are also available for download. The paid plugins for v4.x will not work with v5, you will need to download the updated copies.

What's happening to the v4.x release?

We're still supporting security updates and fixes to this codebase, so there's no rush to move to v5. The Flow & blue_v2 themes will not be maintained in v5, they're replaced by the Spirit theme.
