Added Spanish language WFM interface. Added support for chunked HTTP uploads, allowing OS X 10.5.3 WebDAV clients to transfer files.

Introduced a fix for a file system issue in which files may not be immediately accessible after creation on slow volumes. Fixed a file path reporting problem in Event Notices when multiple files are listed that have been uploaded to different folders. Corrected token insertion pop-up for shell script and AppleScript notices. Added javascript test to alert users if no file is selected when trying to upload.

A new token, "homefoldername" has been added to Event Notice processing, allowing the user's Home Folder folder name to be included in notices. FTP "site" commands can now be disabled, if required, by adding the directive "DisableFTPSiteCommands YES" to the Rumpus configuration file. Folders created when Drag & Drop upload is used to send entire folders now have ownership and permissions set correctly. Corrected potential crash bug in cases where very high peak loads are reached. The "filesize" Event Notice token now works when the referenced file is accessed through an alias. Added the "filesize" token to the Event Notice "Insert A Token" pop-up list. In Event Notice shell scripts, ampersand characters ("&") in filenames are now escaped so that scripts can process those files correctly.

Files and folders uploaded via WebDAV now have their ownership and permissions set correctly as specified for the user account in use. Added option to display download page when auto-login URLs lead directly to a specific file.

Corrected a problem with filename parsing to allow files with names that include an ampersand ("&") to be received correctly via the WFM. When run under OS X 10.5, Rumpus no longer checks for firewall incompatibility, since 10.5 no longer runs a port-access based firewall. On OS X 10.5, the Rumpus application auto-update function is disabled and explains how to apply the update manually, avoiding a file download corruption problem introduced in OS X 10.5. Added character checking to simplify serial number entry and help avoid entry errors.

This maintenance update improves compatibility with OS X 10.5, Safari 3 and the Finder's WebDAV client. Other changes include correcting a problem with "ROOT" home folder selection for user accounts managed by Web administration, the addition of an "" token to insert a user's e-mail address in the "value" field of an Upload Center form, and the addition of a "WFMThruProxy" configuration option to allow the Rumpus WFM to be used behind an Apache Web server.

Installation and management of software components (the server daemon, SSL tunnel, and remote control daemon) has been revised for improved reliability under OS X 10.5 (Leopard). A bug in sending event notices which use the file name and path tokens in the message subject for multi-file uploads has been corrected. Made minor changes to WebDAV directory listing XML for improved Finder compatibility.

This release adds compatibility with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).

The WebDAV server has been updated to support Windows clients and improve security. The WFM "Create Folder" dialog now automatically selects the folder name field. A bug that caused a conflict between new security restrictions and the "Allow User To Move Out Of Home Folder" option has been fixed. The WFM interface can now be installed in Danish. User Home Folders with paths that include extended characters can now be accessed via WebDAV.

Rumpus 5.3 is now available, and includes several important new features:

WebDAV Support

Users can now connect via WebDAV, as well as FTP and Web. WebDAV represents a compelling alternative to FTP, and is supported by numerous file transfer clients. For most Mac server administrators, the most important client Rumpus can now support is Mac OS X. In the Finder's "Go" menu, choose "Connect To Server...", then specify the Web URL to your Rumpus server, as in "http://192.168.1.103". After being prompted for a Rumpus user account name and password, the user Home Folder will be mounted as a volume right on the desktop.

WFM Drag & Drop Uploads

Web File Manager users now have the option of selecting files for upload by dragging them from their desktop into a box on the WFM file upload panel, rather than using a file chooser. The drag & drop uploader supports both files and folders, allowing users to upload entire folders quickly and easily.

Other New Features

Additional security restrictions have been put in place to help stop attacks involving other services (such as SSH). The WFM HTTP response header can now include customized fields, allowing, for example, for an organization to implement a privacy policy that is reflected in the Rumpus Web service. An index page can now be specified, allowing Rumpus to act as a general purpose Web server for select folders.
