If you haven’t heard by now, IndexU Deluxe version 1.4.2 was released on October 29th. Its an update release but not in the traditional sense. Here’s what you can expect to find in version 1.4.2

Nicecoder is proud to announce that IndexU Deluxe 1.4.2 has been released.

There is no bug fixed in this release. But we do some improvements:

- update payment gateway, move to database
- update api service.php
- update plugin library
- added remote approve and reject listing, it will enable you to do one click approve or reject from email notification message you received

As I wrote in a previous post, the payment gateway configuration is now centrally stored in the database versus being stored in the php files. This way, each time an upgrade is performed, you wont have to worry about going back and redoing all the settings. I’m extremely happy that NiceCoder made this a priority.

Also, if you haven’t been paying attention to the Forums or NiceCoder’s site, a few of their products have gone from licensed products to open source. Those products that now fall under Open Source are as follows

1. iDesk – Help Desk Software
2. NiceTalk – Professional Live Help Desk
3. NiceMember – Membership Accounting Software similar to Amember

The pro about this is that no longer do you have to pay for the software and then pay a yearly support fee. The con, unless we see a big influx of community members for these products, dont expect much support or updates.

Lastly, the long awaited update to DMOZ Extractor has been released. The big difference is now its no longer a desktop software but a plugin for IndexU Deluxe. It does have some nice new features to it too. Two of the biggest ones is that its UTF-8 ready and when importing categories, you no longer have to start with a blank database. There are other new features to it, but you’ll need to read them on NiceCoder’s Blog. DMOZ Extractor plugin is free for those that have a membership to IndexUTemplates.com. If your not a member, you should become one. For the price, you can beat all the templates and plugins that come with it!
