jDownloads 4.0.40 Stable Published!
Today we have published the newest jDownloads 4 release!
jDownloads 4.0.40 Stable for Joomla 4 and Joomla 5 is now available for download. Please update as soon as possible. For easy installation go to the Joomla Extensions Manager / Updates and install the new update.
This version fixes again a few small bugs in the frontend. New is the support for User Points. Descended from Alpha User Points via Alta User Points, this is a Joomla 4 component that awards user points that can be earned through user actions. Many former users of these components will be pleased to hear this.
Support for jDownloads 3 has been ended
Please update your website to the latest Joomla version (Joomla 4 or Joomla 5) as soon as possible. Afterwards, please update jDownloads to the latest published version. The longer you delay, the more difficult the upgrade process for your website is likely to be.
Support Forum in Maintenance Mode!
We have to update the forum software again today. This will probably take a few hours. During this time, the forum will unfortunately be unavailable. We ask for your understanding. We hope to be back online with the forum by the evening (CET) at the latest. Thank you very much for your understanding!
Update 4 January 22:35
Unfortunately unexpected problems have occurred during today's forum update. These affect the file attachments and avatars, among other things. We are endeavouring to make these available again as quickly as possible, but ask for your patience and understanding.
Update 7 January 11:00
The file attachments are now available again! Unfortunately, the personal avatars are still causing problems and it may therefore be necessary for users who use individual avatars to upload them again.
jDownloads 4.0.38 Stable Published!
Today we have published the newest jDownloads 4 release!
jDownloads 4.0.38 Stable for Joomla 4 and Joomla 5 is now available for download. Please update as soon as possible. For easy installation go to the Joomla Extensions Manager / Updates and install the new update.
This version fixes again some bugs in the frontend and backend. Support for Captcha plugins has also been improved. The hCaptcha plugin and other plugins compatible with reCaptcha v3 can now also be used. Therefore the support for the old reCaptcha v2 plugin ends. A few CSS and language file corrections are also part of the update.
jDownloads 4.0.36 Stable Published!
Today we have published the newest jDownloads 4 release!
jDownloads 4.0.36 Stable for Joomla 4 and Joomla 5* is now available for download. Please update as soon as possible. For easy installation go to the Joomla Extensions Manager / Updates and install the new update.
This version mainly fixes some errors in the frontend when using Google reCaptcha within some jDownloads forms. With Joomla 5 only the reCaptcha v3 plugin is used, while with Joomla 4 the reCaptcha v2 plugin is used. After the Joomla 5 update, you must therefore reactivate the plugin. As always, more details and the change list for this and other versions can be found on the download details page (sorry, coming soon).
*) Please note that the functionality of jDownloads 4 could not yet be tested in all areas of Joomla 5. If you have problems, please activate the compatibility plugin of Joomla 5.

1 Million Downloads reached!
In the course of this year the 1,000,000 download of jDownloads was made!
More than 15 years ago the first version of jDownloads for Joomla 1.0.15 was published by me. The functionality was initially reduced to the most essential and the first versions were unfortunately also only available in German. In the course of the following years, however, this shortcoming was quickly remedied after more and more Joomla users showed interest in this extension. Quickly, special wishes of the users were expressed, which I tried to implement even then, as far as it seemed reasonable to me. And there are now translations for almost 50 languages.
In the course of this year the 1,000,000 download of jDownloads was made (cumulated value of all versions). So by now, the number of (active) jDownloads users worldwide should be in the tens of thousands. I would like to thank the loyal users for this and I will try to keep jDownloads up to date in the future.
Since jDownloads was started as an open source project from the beginning, it was of course always free to obtain and use. Many other Joomla extensions that used to be freely available have become commercial over the last few years and are now only available through paid subscriptions. This is regrettable, but due to the ever-increasing maintenance and development costs, it is often no longer possible to do otherwise. This is certainly also due to the frequent changes that the developer team of Joomla always makes with new major versions and has also made in the past. Unfortunately, often at the expense of backward compatibility, which increases the customization work. Nevertheless, I will continue to try to offer jDownloads for free.

As always, more details and the change list for this and other versions can be found on the download details page.
