We have improved WebAsyst Issue Tracker using AJAX.

Add/Edit/Forward Issue dialogs now work fast without reloading issue list:

We have also redesigned the Issue List itself to make it more usable. Issue Description is now more readable, and main functional controls (e.g. Forward, Edit, Delete, Show/Hide History) appear only when you drag your mouse on an issue.

Today we have released the new WebAsyst billing system, and substantially enhanced our Pricing Schedule.

If you have specific or limited requirements, you can build your own plan. Individual components may be purchased in varying levels.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

We have significantly improved WebAsyst Projects service. Now you can create a dedicated file repository for every project managed with WebAsyst Projects. On the main page of the Projects service we have added Files tab as it is shown in the sample screenshot below:

On the Files tab you have direct access to the main project’s folder. Here you can upload and download files, create subfolders, and organize all project files.

In fact, the Files tab actually links to the WebAsyst Files service associated with a particular project. All projects folders are also accessible from the main Files service screen and appear in a separate section  - Projects Files. Using Files service you can copy/move any regular folder from your Files directory to/from Projects Files section. It allows you easily to link files or entire folder to your project, or conversely, drag a folder from a project’s zone.

Access rights to all project folders are inherited from the project. In other words, you do not bother customizing user or group permissions for every folder linked to your project. Instead, all permissions already set for your project will be applied to the project folders.

We are going to launch new MySQL cluster on the WebAsyst server on Friday, 12/14/2007. This upgrade will require turning off WebAsyst server temporarily from 00:30 am to 1:00 am EDT. You will not be able to login to WebAsyst hosted accounts at that time and access your services.

We will do our best to perform the upgrade as soon as possible.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

On July 13th, 2007 PHP development team announced that support for PHP 4 will continue only until the end of 2007.

We would like to announce that we moved WebAsyst applications on PHP 5 platform, and all future releases (upgrades) of WebAsyst software, which you can purchase, download and install on your own web server will no longer work on PHP 4.

If you use WebAsyst on your PHP 4 web server, please upgrade to PHP 5 before installing WebAsyst upgrade.

Switching WebAsyst to PHP 5 will allow us to utilize many PHP 5 advantages, and make WebAsyst more powerful, flexible and fast.

We are going to move WebAsyst on the new PHP5 server on Wednesday, 11/21/2007. This upgrade will require turning off WebAsyst server temporarily from 0 am to 1 am EDT. You will not be able to login to WebAsyst hosted accounts at that time and access your services.

We will do our best to perform the upgrade as soon as possible.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Nov 21, 1am EDT - The upgrade has been successfully completed.

We have introduced another AJAX features to our WebAsyst Photos services. You no longer need to open a new page to add or edit your photo description. Simply click anywhere in description area to trigger edit mode, as shown in the sample below.

When you click the Save button, your new description will be immediately updated without reloading the entire list of photos.

NOTE: In the previous version we had separate Title and Description fields. We have now dropped the Title field and retained only one field. This allows photo description editing to be more straightforward and usable. In order to save user data, we have merged old titles and descriptions into the new Description field.

We have launched a new web service — WebAsyst Shopping Cart.

This service allows you to create your own online store and integrate a shopping cart feature into any website (blog) using widgets. We invite everyone to try our new service! It’s free.

Here is an example of how WebAsyst Shopping Cart allows you to embed an ordering function directly into this page (it adds sample product Apple iPhone for $399 to your shopping cart):

If you click this button, iPhone will be added to your cart and you will be offered to checkout. Shopping cart page will be shown directly in this page content.

The WebAsyst Shopping Cart was developed on the basis of Shop-Script - another software product from our company.

Currently WebAsyst Shopping Cart is not available as downloadable software (only hosted version is available). We are developing this option, and plan to introduce a downloadable version on February 2008.
