[Rumpus-talk] Rumpus 6.2 New Features

[John O'Fallon]

Hi Folks,

Here's a list of the new features that will be included in Rumpus  
6.2.  Details on when the new version will be available will follow in  
a day or 2.

File Name and Content Search

  Web users can now perform text searches to find files by name
  or content.  Powered by the SpotLight search engine running on
  the server, search results are restricted to each user's
  content area and the folder in which the search is performed,
  maintaining server security and making it easy for users to
  control the scope of their queries.

Growl Notifications

  Rumpus now supports Growl, the popular notification system for
  OS X.  All Rumpus notices, including file uploads, downloads,
  and administrator events can be directed to Growl
  notifications for simple, quick and unintrusive display, even
  across a network or to an iPhone (with the use of a 3rd party
  iPhone app).

iPhone Optimized Web Interface

  While many file management tasks, such as uploading files,
  don't make sense for mobile users, viewing server content
  using an iPhone is increasingly common.  Rumpus 6.2 includes a
  new, simplified, iPhone-specific interface optimized for
  viewing media files on the go.

New Web Appearance Options

  An entirely new WFM template set, called "Modern", has been
  added, offering an optional sleek new look to the Rumpus Web
  File Manager.  All Rumpus appearances can also make use of new
  background fades and patterns, and display simplified file
  listings with pop-up menu file actions.

Automatic Drop Shipping

  When a file is drop shipped, an e-mail which contains an
  automatic file download link is sent to a recipient, allowing
  large files to be transferred reliably.  Rumpus 6.2 offers a
  built-in drop ship function which allows known Rumpus users to
  quickly and easily drop ship files to anyone on the Internet.

Guest Uploads By Request

  Maxum has also added what can best be described as "reverse
  drop shipping", which we call "File Requests".  Using a File
  Request, any Rumpus user can allow anyone, anywhere on the
  Internet to send a file simply by clicking a single-use file
  transfer link in an e-mail message.  Files uploaded by guests
  are delivered to the Rumpus user's content folder, and the
  Rumpus user is notified the moment the file has arrived.
