While things have been pretty crazy the last few months (and don't look to be getting any less crazy any time soon), I have had a chance to spend some time on a few of my Drupal modules over the last week or two, so I thought it would be prudent to post a few of the changes in a quick blog post.

FileField Paths

While there isn't yet a new point release for FileField Paths, I have added a great new feature: Active Updates. Active Updates is basically 'Retroactive Updates' minus the 'Retroactive', File fields with the 'Active Updates' turned on will have their paths/names updated as their respective tokens are updated.

Secondly, I have now added a Drupal 7 development release and can safely say that there will be an official Drupal 7 release as soon as Drupal 7 itself is released.
In relation to the Drupal 7 release, I have also decided that I will no longer be maintaining the Drupal5 branch of FileField Paths.

Checkout the FileField Paths project page for further information.

Drag'n'Drop Uploads

Drag'N'Drop Uploads is the module that I was playing around with a few months ago (Drupal: Drag and Drop file upload demo.), which enables Drag'n'Drop uploading of files from your local filesystem to your Node body.

I put a bit of research into the module and while the module still only works with Apple Safari and Google Chrome, I am confident that I will have support for Mozilla FireFox 3.6 added shortly. I have also managed to remove the dependency from the Swell Javascript library, which has allowed me to backport the module to Drupal 6.

Drupal 7 and Drupal 6 developmental releases will be available within the next 6 hours.

For more information, visit the Drag'n'Drop Uploads module project page.

File Aliases

Lastly, File Aliases has finally received it's 1.0 release.
With it it brings support for FileFiled Paths new 'Active Updates' feature, better support for Private files and a great number of minor bug fixes.
