Gallery 2.2 Release Candidate 2

Submitted by mindless on Thu, 2007-03-01 00:00

Thanks for your continued support! Read on for more details...

Note: This is a *pre-release* version, and you should be sure to BACKUP YOUR GALLERY *before* upgrading your current Gallery.

New Features Include:

  1. Downloadable Plugins.
    • This feature allows you to download and install Modules and Themes directly via the Site Admin interface. You can select from different sets of plugins (officially released plugins, experimental plugins under development and plugins provided by the Gallery community). This makes it very easy to stay up to date with the latest changes.
  2. Added support for themes to display dynamic albums.
    • New Keyword Album module makes use of this feature to show albums based on a search of item keywords.
    • New Dynamic Albums module shows albums of newest, most viewed or even random items.
    • Ratings module has a new view to display highly rated items from across the Gallery.
  3. Watermarking changes
    • Edit Album now has a Watermark tab where watermarks may be added or removed from an entire album, optionally including subalbums too.
    • Edit Watermark now has an option to replace a watermark image and apply the new image everywhere the old was one used.
    • New option to always use a single watermark and give users no watermarking options. Only Site Admins can change/remove existing watermarks.
    • New option to turn off the ability for users to upload their own watermark images.
  4. New themes: Carbon and Ajaxian
  5. New WebDAV module to mount Gallery as network device on your computer. This allows you to easily manage your Gallery with any WebDAV client like Windows Explorer.
  6. New module to send Ecards.
  7. New Digibug module for prints from digibug.com.
  8. Added support for Flash Video and Windows ASF video.
  9. Photo auto-rotation based on camera sensors or on settings from other applications.

I really like the Watermark changes, they will make your life quite a bit easier. I also like seeing new Themes added to the pack.

Ah well of course, its a whole improvement. So keep up the superb work!

using it on mySQL 5.0.33, php 5.2.1 and Apache 2.2.4 - been playing around with dynamic albums, tags, watermarks, DP and multisites lately. Plugin management is much more refined. And when i upgrade my 2.1.2 sites to 2.2 incompatible themes/plugins will automagically be disabled.

Thanks for taking priority and importance in usability features, themes and security audits.

Mmmhh, I got some problem with this version. But who cares 2.2.1 works like charm now. Maybe it was my mistake. I'm using Gallery in some of my projects.
