Gallery 1.5.1 Released!

Submitted by ckdake on Thu, 2005-09-22 14:24
Gallery 1.5.1 is now available for download. This release is primarily a bugfix release but includes several new features that should make this worth the upgrade. (Included in this release are security fixes made for Gallery 1.5-pl1 and Gallery 1.5.1-RC3.) Read more for the details on new features, fixes, and the future of Gallery 1.

Download Gallery 1.5.1 from the Gallery Download Page on SourceForge.

The Future of G1
Gallery 2 is definitely here and great but development on Gallery 1 has not stopped just yet. Sometime around December of this year, look for Gallery 1.5.2 with neat new features such as an easier to use configuration wizard, archive download, and support for clickable imagemaps on images. We plan to keep fixing bugs in Gallery 1 for some time, and any highly ranked feature requests in the new feature request system tagged with [G1] will be considered.

New Features in 1.5.1
  • PHP 5 and PHP 4.4 fixes
  • eCard feature
  • Option to prevent some users from changing their password
  • Colorpicker for all color settings
  • Microthumbs for navigation
  • Easier way to reorder items
  • Small security fixes with some additional input validation
  • Icons for item and album actions
Fixes from RC1
  • Ecard and stamp previews work properly
  • Embedded URLs now work properly for mails and comment deletion
  • Updates for new versions of Postnuke
  • Proper windows path seperators
  • Sending emails is more reliable
  • Other small bug fixes
Fixes from RC2
  • Several embedding issues
  • Two security problems
  • Other small bug fixes
Fixes from RC3
  • Embedded URLs work in CPGNuke again and some other minor embedding issues
  • A small resource leak found and closed
  • Fixes to properly display EXIF data after the security fix broke some things
  • Links in emails work properly
  • PHP Compatability fixes with taking arguments by reference

congrats on this new release! =)

the change from "drop down" menus to tabs when editing "album properties" is a great improvement, no more scrolling down. also the configuration wizard is a little more streamlined and along with the added "micro thumb photo navigation" & ecards. the only thing that surprised me was my "temporary directory" changed from /tmp or /var/tmp/ to /usr/home/tmp which is probably caused by the "openbase_dir" restriction i have. other than that, upgrading from 1.5-pl1 to 1.5.1 was a breeze.

Since there is no PostNuke integration with G2, I still use (and am very happy with) G1.

Long live to G1!

Thanks for this release, guys. You rock :D

G2 is great as a standalone gallery app, but for integration with CMS, G1 is still the best! Keep up the development!

Shameless Plug…Only the Sourceforge Gallery could be big enough to hold MIKE DITKA, coach of the 1985, Superbowl winning, Chicago Bears…yeah that’s right, see him now at: http://kilbad.com/gallery/bobfest

G2 is great as a standalone.
