v0.3 Install Notes
--------
Javascript must now be enabled in your browser to allow for proper functioning of the browser.

v0.2 install Notes
--------
- Must have a simple PHP5 install setup (Note: if you have PHP4, change all the public/private class variables to "var".  
This will work with displaying images.  I didn't test image creation like this).
- Must have the php_gd2.dll extension enabled in your php.ini file.  Copy this file from the "/ext" directory to 
c:\windows to make it available to PHP.  You may need to restart your apache server when you do this (or IIS or 
whatever you use).
- You do not need to use the "images" folder if you want to have a VERY lightweight browser.  The image folder just 
makes it a little nicer.  
- If you are updating to this version of the image browser from 0.1, you should delete the banner.jpg file, as it will 
now show up as an image to be browsed.

Changes:

Almost-complete rewrite of the code!  Code is now object oriented, and overall much better.

Tons of changes.

Version 1.0 - Update
-------
Changelog
New: There is parsing of subdirectories, and it is also selectable via the upper right where it says "browse directory".
Note: I am tired of developing this, so I'm releasing version 1.0, a very stable version, as done, so I am now done :)

New: AJAX now implemented for Removal of thumbnails in the settings option.
New: Side View now dynamically sizes to the overall window size, while not stretching 
             images to larger than their native size.
Fix: Changing thumbnail size settings actually sets the size of the thumbnails
             if a thumbnail image has been created for a particular image.
Fix: Logic update to the thumbnail view.

Version 0.2 - Update
Changelog
-------
- Added new "Side View" browse mode at the top.  This utilizes javascript.  you can specify in the code at the top, 
the height you'd like the images to be in that mode (currently 600 pixels), and it will size them proportionally.  
Eventually I hope to add code to size it to the monitor size minus the stuff at the top.
- Various layout changes slightly throughout.
- New/modified css styles at the beginning allowing customization of the colors and such to be easier.  I will add more 
commenting and simplify it later so you can customize it more easily.

Recommended changes to PHP setup:
     Increase the "max_execution_time" in php.ini to above 30... probably 120 or so seconds.  It's either in c:\php 
     or c:\windows.  I will add code eventually to minimize this bother when resizing images or creating thumbnails.
