Gallery 2 Release Candidate 1 (+5 Insightful) Released!

This is the first release candidate of Gallery 2. We do not anticipate making any substantial changes between now and the final version. The purpose of this release candidate is to let the product cool for a couple of weeks so that we can identify and fix any last minute issues that you may discover. So download, install and start test it.

We have made small improvements since the Beta 4 release. One new thing you'll notice is that now we offer up 4 different flavors of packages for you to download so that you can pick one that suits your needs. This will make it easier for those of you who are using FTP to transfer Gallery up to your webserver. You can read all about it on our Gallery 2 Download Page. Note that if you downsize from the more inclusive larger Gallery 2 beta package to one of the smaller RC ones, you should remember to download any extra plugins that you are using.

As always before you ask for help, please, please read the README -- we've made an effort to answer all of your questions there. Especially read the known issues section. If you're upgrading, be sure to scan the super easy updating instructions first. Then head on over to the G2 Forums and let us know what you think!

Thanks for your continued support!

Aug 6: We had some database problems with our download page causing it to be unresponsive -- it's been fixed. Sorry about the confusion.

Could someone post the full url for the what's new link?<br />

I'd hit it!

dumbass....

wow. i have been a long-time gallery1 user and even met bharat at oscon 2002 in san diego, where he told me all about the upcoming gallery2 :)<br />
<br />
i finally downloaded this release, and set about to upgrade my install. super smooth, excellent wizards. the feature set blew me away.<br />
<br />
i was at first loathing having to redo all my theming, but after i saw how clean the default was in v2, i scrapped that.<br />
<br />
gallery2 seems to do just about anything i could wish for, with the exception of tag clouds and rss feeds.<br />
<br />
nice job, gallery team!<br />

thanks, although the actual url I was looking for was the README one - which is this: <a href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/gallery/gallery2/README.html?rev=1.124#whats_new">http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/gallery/gallery2/README.html?rev=1.124#whats_new</a>

Did you seriously call me a dumbass...?<br />
That wasn't very nice. I hereby ban you from using Gallery 2 ever again.
