news News Weezo 3.0 - Richer, simpler... 30/04/2011  New user interface
Weezo user interface has been entirely rewritten and now offers two modes:- A "simple" mode, for users who need a fast and easy access to Weezo core features,
- An "advanced" mode, which gives access to Weezo full power
In both cases, sharing gets even simpler: it now only takes one click to send a link by mail or to publish it on Facebook, Twitter or any other social network.
 Mobile access has also been simplified: the use of QR codes turns link transmission as simple as a snapshot!
 Improved video streaming
Video streaming has been totally refactored: HTML 5 videos are now supported, with both WebM and Ogg Theora formats. Flash video can now rely on the high-performance h264 codec.
Last but not least, Android users may now benefit real-time video streaming on their device.

 Drag & drop file upload and download
Google Chrome is your browser? Downloading a file from your Weezo space is as simple as a Windows file copy: just drag the files from your Weezo space to your computer and the download begins!
File upload is just as simple: drop the files you want to upload on your Weezo space to start the transfer (only with Firefox, Chrome or Safari). |
 HTML 5 remote desktop
Weezo 3 introduces the first Windows full-HTML5 remote access tool: a modern web browser is all it takes to remote-control your computer. No dedicated client, java or ActiveX plugin is required.

 More interaction
Let your friends participate by allowing them to let messages and comments on your Weezo space.
The use of the Facebook social plugin offers a convenient way to write messages as well as easy user identification. |  Simplified login
Let your Facebook friends simply and securely access your Weezo space: through Facebook login, they will securely access the resources you want to share with them without the prior need to transmit a password.

V 2.0 - Mobile access, BitTorrent file sending, new file-sharing mode, increased performances, Aero interface...05/18/2010 The Weezo team is proud to announce the immediate availability of Weezo 2.0.
This new version represents a major step forward: bunches of new features, as well as optimizations and bugfixes bring Weezo to an unmatched level of power and ease of use.
  Mobile access
Weezo desktop can now be accessed through any web-enabled smartphone.
You'll now be able to access most functions from virtually anywhere: file upload/download, audio streaming, webcam, RSS feeds, bookmarks, chat, remote computer wake-up and shutdown...
This evolution also applies to iPhone interface, which ergonomics has greatly evolved from version 1.1.0, and now supports real-time video streaming and audio playlists.
  New User Interface
User Interface has been extensively redesigned, for greater ease of use and simplicity.
A configuration wizard now guides user through first steps.
Vista and Windows Seven users may select a new "Aero" interface using OS's transparency features.
 New shared files selection mode
Up to now, photo, video and file sharing where restricted to the content of a single directory.
With V2 comes the possibility to share custom lists of files and folders: just drag & drop the content you want to share over Weezo interface and it's online !
File sharing user interface also evolved: clients may now switch between view - list, small medium or large thumbnails, just as in your Windows explorer.
| |   Sticky notes
The new embedded sticky note feature will allow users to let messages to each other or to leave comments on your site.
 Plugin manager
Weezo now integrates a plugin management tool, which will allow download, installation, update and removal of user extensions.
Five new extensions are available. phpBB, Uebimiau, phpMyAdmin and Ffmpeg have been updated to latest versions:
  BitTorrent file sending
Files sending can now rely on BitTorrent protocol, perfectly adapted to large files transfer: download resume, IP change proof and bandwidth control.
Sending large files is now as simple as a few clicks: select the file(s) to send, and Weezo generate a link you just have to transmit to the recipient. Clicking on this link will download a ".torrent" file that can be opened by any BitTorrent client.
Of course, Weezo's BitTorrent file transfers are 100% private. No third party may see or download transferred files.
|
 Instant streaming
File sending has also been improved with the possibility to generate "streaming links": instead of being downloaded, files will instantly be streamed to the recipient. Along with an instant messaging software for link transmission, this feature will let you share music or videos within seconds!
Other new features
- PHP / MySQL site hosting: an in-depth reworking of Weezo architecture made possible custom PHP site hosting: just select the index PHP file and your site is accessible through your Weezo desktop! An integrated custom MySQL tool automates database creation, thus simplifying MySQL configuration.
- Files publication: you may now embed videos, photos, playlists, download links or even any resource into a blog or external website.
- Bookmarks sharing: this resource has been entirely reworked and now has a proper interface and a few new functionalities.
- Activity monitoring: your server and users activity can now monitored on your Twitter account, on a personal web page (FTP) or sent to Growl.
- User preferences: users may now modify theirs settings - theme, desktop background, language, password... Those preferences will be saved and restored at next login.
 Performances
As a result of an in-depth optimization of javascript and pages layout, a new file info cache system, and an upgrade to latest versions of Apache/PHP/ffmpeg, Weezo desktop loading and display is now a lot faster.
 Bugfixes
V2 also fixes bugs: streaming of large video files, video streaming on Wii, resource configuration save issues, display bugs...
See Changelog for a complete list of fixes.
V 1.3.0 - Centralized authentication, webcam chat, optimizations and misc. improvements 03/12/2009  Centralized authentication
Visitors can now be authenticated before being redirected to your computer: your IP address is thus hidden from non-authorized persons.
 This page explains how standard and centralized authentications work.
Centralized authentication does of course respect Weezo's privacy and security principles: no sensitive data goes unencrypted between the client's browsers and your computer, and neither weezo.net nor any other third-party can read group names and passwords.
Centralized authentication is only available to registered users. This option can be turned on and off from the profile management form.
 +  Webcam chat
People can now also display one another's webcam while chatting.
This new feature, based on flash player technology, does not require any software installation on the client's computer.
Performances
Image resizing algorithm has been rewritten and is now five time faster.
File explorer has also been improved and offers faster browsing.

V 1.2.2 - Bugfixes 12/05/2008 This version fixes bugs found in version 1.2.0, and brings some new features and optimizations.
See Changelog for full details.
V 1.2.1a – Remote computer wake up, new resources, bugfixes and performance improvement 11/30/2008 Remote computer wake up (Wake-On-Wan)
Bringing the ability to remotely wake up and shutdown your PC, this new version might revolutionize the way you’re using your computer and Weezo:
Once configured it just takes a password on weezo.net (SSL secured) website to send the remote wake up command and boot up your computer.
Keeping the computer always on is therefore not needed anymore. Your data will be accessible anytime!
Note: This function needs your hardware – router and network adapter – to be compatible.
You’ll find help and configuration tips on this page
   Proxy, Winamp library, Multimedia resource
  
V1.2.0 brings three new resources:

It both allows bypassing some web browsing restrictions, and accessing local software web interfaces.

 Multiple upload

Clients won’t anymore have to select and send files one by one.
Of course no ActiveX or java applet is required.
