FotoHound is a basic PHP script, that generates simple image gallery web pages. One needs only to push up an image and a thumbnail to a server and FotoHound takes care of the rest.

We'll it's more than a year overdue, but sometime in the next month I'll finally be getting FotoHound 1.1 posted. Keep your eyes open.
Well I'm not really sure when the next upgrade is going to come at this point. Classes are finally out, and if I can get some extra time I'll see about getting Fotohound fixed up and sent out as the 1.1 release. Ideally before the summer is out, I'll have that out, and have started on 1.2. Really, we'll just have to wait and see.
As you know, I vastly underestimated the time it would take to produce the Ridgeback release. Currently we're looking at some nice upgrades though. For starters, I've vastly optimized the code for generating the HTML pages. I'm not sure what kind of figures I'm looking at right now, as I haven't done any official tests, but either way it will mean faster page generation times, and lower server load. The second thing, is the upgrade script. I'm including a script to help upgrade your settings.php file for the new release. This will be a simple web interface, that will read all of your old settings, and then for any missing settings, use the defaults. Then it presents you with an interface to change any of them, and will download a new config file to your computer. From there you as the user will be able to upload it to your webserver for usage. While this is good for you, it means bugs for me. I'm looking at any bugs that not only may exist due to the new version, but also for those that are currently upgrading from an old install. The third thing I'm going to talk about, is beta. I'm planning to release another set of betas prior to the final release. I've got one last minor feature to implement, then I'm going to take some time over the next month to do bug testing. After that period, I begin pushing out beta releases. After a 2-3 month period, or until the bug reports stop flowing in, I will push out 1.1, and everyone can download it and enjoy. The final thing I have to say is DOCUMENTATION UPGRADE. I've had a 3rd party volunteer to help make my documentation not suck. As anyone who has tried to use the current documentation knows, it is not very good, and can be a pain in the ass. I still stand by my statement that I will support PHP4 users up through the 1.3 release. Although once again I remind you that the PHP team will stop supporting it by the end of this year, so everyone should upgrade. Stay tuned, I hope to have the first beta out around late November, or early December. -Luke Fotohound Developer.
The sourceforge upload service is now back up. So, I have posted FotoHound 1.0.6, and it is now available for download.
7-26-07: Release 1.0.6 Fixed issues having to do with missing thumbnails and pictures. Made FotoHound more robust. Fixed infinite loop bug, that could occor. Fixed but that could be cased by invisible files. Added link back to the index on error pages.
