I have uploaded the release candidate for version 2.2.6 of LDM in the first post of this thread. I would welcome reports. To upgrade, simply upload the files again and reinstall via the VB product manager. Please remember to backup your database first.

Installation - Very important

If your web site runs Microsoft's IIS web server in cgi mode (you can find this out by looking at the main VB admincp page), the php environment variable DOCUMENT_ROOT is not defined by default. This causes serious problems with the placement of files managed by LDM on your server. Version 2.2.6 of LDM detects this problem and issues a fatal error if necessary. In this case, you must edit the file includes/local_links_init.php to define LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT. The code makes clear where to edit. Alternatively, you could patch your web server so that DOCUMENT_ROOT is correctly defined.

changes

Since the 2.2.6 beta, I believe that all reported bugs have been fixed and a few new extras provided, as follows:

new features:

VB Profile
Parameters added in plugins to configure number of 'My Entries'/'Visited Entries' to display in profile

new 'extras'

force-mp3-to-m3u converts downloads of mp3s to download a matching m3u, to force winamp, etc, to stream the file
stream-mms-videos improves the security of LDM's handling of mms: streams and adds the option to save a stream to file

bugs fixed:

bbcode, smiles, images, html admin settings work correctly and editor toolbars adjust accordingly
usernames with quotes no longer produces sql error
LDM icons can now be in gif, jpg or png format
navbar errors fixed in search module
mp3 files with no id3 image no longer crash certain versions of php
downloads into slow channels (e.g. streaming into winamp) no longer die mid-way through transfer
curl transfer work ok when urls contain spaces
invalid 'file rename' requests detected during add/edit entry form
correct messages displayed when file uploads exceed allowed space
autothread extras do a better job of displaying the associated image in the thread
