Rumpus 6.2.2 is now available...

   http://www.maxum.com/Rumpus/DownloadADemo.html

While new features aren't usually added in maintenance updates, one  
fairly significant shortcoming has been addressed.  Drop ship users  
can now send files that are already on the server, without having to  
upload the file again.  When the "Include Drop Ship Link" option (on  
the "Actions" tab) is enabled, and the user has the ability to drop  
ship files, an additional action icon is displayed for each file in  
the listing.  Clicking the "drop ship this file" icon allows the user  
to drop ship the file without having to upload another copy.

In addition, drop ship URLs have been tweaked so that they are  
interpreted correctly by MS e-mail clients, and a couple of other bugs  
have been addressed.  The full list of changes is included below.

Rumpus 6.2.2:

Added an option to allow files already on the server to be drop  
shipped without being re-uploaded.

Files can now be served in content wrapper pages selectively, based on  
file type.  If the "WFM Download" field is specified for a file type,  
files of that type are served using the wrapper page, instead of the  
simple standard link.

Changed the trailing character of drop ship URLs from an underscore to  
an "R" to avoid a URL truncation problem in Windows Mail.

Rumpus now blocks WebDAV functions more reliably for user accounts  
with WebDAV disabled but standard Web access enabled.

The "Reset User History" function (on the Define Users window) now  
works correctly for usernames that include spaces.

Addressed an obscure MacBinary file naming issue.

URLs sent in Drop Ship e-mails (using the Web-based Drop Ship  
function) now always point to the server address set as the default  
hostname, instead of the hostname used by the sender to connect.

Added consistency checks to several internal databases to  
automatically clean up file corruption problems.
