filefield 6.x-1.0-alpha1

Heya there, this is the first released version of FileField for Drupal 6. Mind the "alpha" label, meaning it might break anytime. This release is a preview, mainly for people who have a pressing need for a 6.x version but can live with a few (a lot?) bugs.

Incompatible with current imagefield HEAD, as it uses the same PHP functions (field_file.inc) unconditionally. If you try to activate both of those modules, prepare to meet your worst nightmare in form of fierce PHP errors.

The Drupal 6 port is not finished yet, and bugs can be expected both in FileField itself as well as in CCK. In particular, you are well-advised if you keep far away from CCK's "Unlimited" (amount of values) option, as in CCK 6.x-2.0-beta it is broken beyond belief. I'm working on that, just don't use it for now.

In general, everything JavaScript related is fragile yet, and the rest pretty much works. AJAX uploads don't work in Konqueror, buttons only use JavaScript functionality until part of the widget has been replaced with AJAX (then they fall back to non-JavaScript uploads and deletions), and CCK's "Add another item" button is the one that doesn't quite work at all yet. Table-drag reordering (got it for free from CCK) seems to work mostly, but I think there are some bugs there too still. hook_filefield() is not yet ported, and neither is the JavaScript file extension validator.

That said, everything else should work pretty nicely. Views support is awesome, check out the neat "relationships" feature which lets you filter by any file property you might imagine (...except for "List" and "Description"... eheh... need to work on that). The code is much nicer, and on its way to properly integrate form widgets for custom mimetypes (like images, videos, audio files). Goodness lies ahead of you.

Ok, so much for starters. Now let's get back to business, as I'm still not done yet :P
