Watermarking no longer fails when trying to center a watermark on an image with odd dimensions.
Config Wizard option to disable the applets and option to set user preference for default slideshow. Default is to include the applets but have the "Modern Browser" JavaScrip slideshow as the default.
Fix for some situations where an album upgrade would try to set the highlight from an empty album.
Updated documentation to include changes to permissions, csv import,and watermarking. (update docs from donw - "alindeman, updated the docs, but it was after the 1.4.3 branch. I think they should be updated in a patch. It would include the changes to permissions, as well as document csv import and watermarking.")
Fixed a possible problem where users could be lost by directly upgrading to 1.4.3 from a version of Gallery before 1.4 (upgrade path issue with users.
Fixed old problem that occured when the index of an album being moved was larger than the number of photos inside of it.

We've been alerted to a security vulnerability in Gallery 1.4 that can allow remote access to your system. It only affects a very small percentage of Unix installations (though it affects a all Windows installations). Only the following versions of Gallery have the bug: 1.4, 1.4-pl1, 1.4.1 (unreleased; prior to build 145). On Unix, this vulnerability only affects systems where Gallery is left in configuration mode (a relatively small percentage of Gallery users since Gallery is not operational in configuration mode). On Windows, this vulnerability affects anybody using versions of Gallery with the bug. The problem has been fixed in: 1.4-pl2 (download: http://sf.net/projects/gallery\), 1.4.1 (unreleased; build 145).... read more
