The version 2.7 is total rebuild and have lots of ui changes. Some people don’t like it, I personally think it’s now better. Unfortunately there are some minor issues need to be fixed.
1. User interface changes
Some people will find lost with the new interface. But after some minutes of learning, it won’t be a problem.
2. Old data need to be migrate to newer version
The update won’t migrate the data automatically, users need to manually click the migrate button to perform the migration. The sad thing is, users have to update all the shortcodes manually one-by-one because it won’t be performed automatically by the migration click.
3. Not compatible with html minification
At least it happens on my case, I’m using W3 Total Cache. I have to disable the minify feature, or the password form won’t able to pop up.
4. Missing the “downloaded count”
Some complaint about the missing of download counter. The author said it can be enabled using templates. I’m not sure how it work, never try it.
5. Icon showing issue
After the migration process, there is no default icon for the downloads, so we have to choose it manually one-by-one for all the downloads.
6. There is no data issue
The data is still there, we have to start the migration process (by clicking the button). Unfortunately some things still need to be performed manually to complete the migration process.
That’s all what I found so far. It will make you feel a bit uncomfortable. But you can see from the forum, the author is working hard to fix the issues.
