We are proud to present the new jDownloads version 3.9.x. This is a stable release and should be your choice when you are starting with jDownloads in Joomla 3.9.
Our aim for the new version is, as far as possible, to support the new and recently added functions of the current Joomla! Version 3.9 and to integrate them into jDownloads. But it was also necessary to remove or change some of the older parts of jDownloads. This means that version 3.9.x will not be backwards compatible with version 3.2.
If you are upgrading from an existing 3.2 installation to the new version 3.9.x please see the upgrading guide . It is an easy, multistep upgrade, not complicated a migration!
If you are installing jDownloads for the first time then see the article first time installation.
Developers whose Joomla extensions support jDownloads in any way, or have developed their own plugins or modules for this purpose, must rework their extensions a little bit to be compatible with jDownloads 3.9. If you find and report a bug, we aim to fix it as quickly as possible. This will be helped when reporting a bug to give relevant details so we are able to reproduce the problem.
Important: This version is not compatible with Joomla 4.x. A compatible version is in work and will be published in 2022.
