PHPix2 Photo Album / News: Recent posts

Yay! All rejoice in the knowlege that even completely dead projects can be resurrected when someone has some spare time and an idea.

In this release:
Password protected albums
Makefile now works in make and gmake.
Admin mode (sorta)
Numerous bugfixes

This is mainly a bug fix release for the PHP photo album. (See ChangeLog for details). Please feel free to report any bug or difficulty you might encounter.

Who am I kidding? This is stable. It does what it does well, and the
amount of interest on the part of the developers is at an all-time low.

PHPix and PHPix2 seem to be the sort of software that you set up once,
and then forget about. That's a good thing, but it also means that it's
hard to keep developers interested in it.

Please continue to submit bug reports and patches, but don't expect them

Also known as the "last-release-no-really" release, this fixes two or three bugs, and doesn't do much else. If I don't get any complaints about this by March 20, it's going out the door as 2.0 and this project will (finally) get recategorized as stable.

And one day later, -pre4 is out. This does nothing more than remove some debug code, which would send me mail on an error. No need to re-download if you don't mind sending me detailed error reports :-)

This should be the last pre-release before 2.0, mostly because I have some neat new ideas I want to start working on. :-)

pre3 adds Bryan Killian's multi-user support, bug fixes, and a hopefully easier install. Try it out and leave bugs/feedback! Patches are welcome, too :-)

PHPix-2.0pre2 fixes a few minor annoyances, and one big ugly security hole that I unknowingly carried over from 1.x, which allows complete traversal of your entire filesystem (although people will only be able to see directory contents, and thumbnails of any images).

Please download this new release right away if you were using 2.0pre1.
