Hi Adam,
first of all - please allow me to thank you for continually working on script upgrades - I'm very pleased and I'd be happy to renew my support subscription.
I plan to upgrade to latest version (3.3) though as I have custom theme and it costs me a bit more to do it I have a few questions:
0) Is 3.3.1 coming out anytime soon? (I have healthy distrust to the round versions
)
1) I looked up the upgrade instructions (_installation.txt) and all it says is this:
2a) From the changelog:
Server Type: Remote Direct
File Server Domain Name: fileserver01.fhscript.com
Upload Script Path: /
(Shouldn't it be rather like /fileserver01 ? How does the generated URL look like? Or what this actually does?)
Server Storage Path: files/
What happens when a user opens http://fileserver01.fhscript.com in his web browser? Is he forwarded to the http://fhscript.com?
Is this connected with this feature? (from changelog):
3) From the changelog/Release Notes:
4) Is there a how-to manual planned for the script to setup proper advanced configuration? I sure can go for try-error-try-success approach but I would rather to pay $30 for the manual where best practice is described than experience downtime on poor configuration or simply not have "best practice". Before this "direct downloads" and "Run the script across domains" upgrade it didn't make much sense but now I think this script is kinda powerful tool but I would like to know a bit more how to use it...
I could have emailed this to Adam, but I think community around this script would benefit from public Q&A.
P.S. It might be easier to understand these new features if you enabled some of this on your test site or created a "overview" video with text commentary (or spoken).

What is the offline folder good for? I'm currently running version 3.11 - do I have to use the offline folder manually or the auto installer does it all? (easy install like the WordPress)
2a) From the changelog:
(I looked up the demo site admin so part of this question I answered myself - only FTP server won't cut it as it also requires Apache to be run). Though how does this actually works? you have the example site running on http://fhscript.com, let's say that the configuration in admin is following:
Server Type: Remote Direct
File Server Domain Name: fileserver01.fhscript.com
Upload Script Path: /
(Shouldn't it be rather like /fileserver01 ? How does the generated URL look like? Or what this actually does?)
Server Storage Path: files/
What happens when a user opens http://fileserver01.fhscript.com in his web browser? Is he forwarded to the http://fhscript.com?
Is this connected with this feature? (from changelog):
How does it actually works? How do I run the script on fhscript.RU (for Russian customers) and fhscript.DE (for German customers) using single database?
3) From the changelog/Release Notes:
How do I check if I have PDO enabled?
4) Is there a how-to manual planned for the script to setup proper advanced configuration?
