Gallery 1.5.2 Release

Submitted by ckdake on Thu, 2006-01-19 18:56
Gallery 1.5.2 is now available for download. This release fixes a possible XSS security problem, fixes bugs (including those found in all of the preview releases), and introduces several cool new features: image maps and downloading albums as zip files. Read more for the details!

Download Gallery 1.5.2 from the Gallery Download Page.

The Future of G1
Gallery 2 is definitely here and continuing to pick up speed but development on Gallery 1 has not completely stopped just yet. Around april this year Gallery 1.5.3 will show up. This release will be mostly a "nice" release. Ask our developer Jens for more info. Security problems will be fixed as soon as possible and we plan to keep fixing major bugs in Gallery 1 for a while. Any highly ranked feature requests in the feature request system tagged with [G1] will be considered, but almost all of our efforts are now behind Gallery 2.

Is there an example of square thumbnails around here somewhere? Are they cropped, margined or squashed?

Beware of an accidental feature regression in this release -- you can no longer move or copy photos from album to album unless you are administrator, even if you have the proper permissions. See this thread for details.

Yeah I don't mnean to cast blame or anything. Just thought people should know. (And hey, in the future, it'd be good to put any intentionally-removed functionality in the RC notes so it can be tested -- it hadn't occured to me to test this before the release.

Yeah i think its just the permissions, if you do all to 777, it must be fine then?

Err, the link you have in your quote isn't the link I had in my post.

But no, it's not an issue of setting weak permissions -- the feature was actually mistakenly removed.
