Hello everyone, I am happy to finally get back in touch with you, so you know where things are. SPGM 1.4.2 (the latest version available) seems to be a really mature revision, since no bug reports have been made during its 4-month lifetime. Only a few changes are consequently on my TODO list for the next packaging that should be out pretty soon. It will feature the new Traditional Chinese language pack (thanks to Chan Pak Hing), which brings the number of translations to an outstanding 27 (I am still impressed about that) ! The good news is that I am currently working hard on the complete redesign of SPGM. My developments have almost reached a level where a beta could be made public. Be sure I will not keep it for me, since I need your support to test it thoroughly. Some of you have already manifested the wish to be part of the test phase, and I look forward to getting feedback from them. Talking about it, I would like to fire a little poll about the name I could give to this brand new version... I have come up with 3 alternatives : - exig (standing for EXtensible Image Gallery, because this time, it _will_ be extensible ;) - smig (a recursive acronym for Smig to Manage Image Galleries, the one I like most) - spgm 2.0 (simply) It could even turn into a contest if you guys have some proposals ;) Please feel free to write me back at spajot AT users DOT sourceforge DOT net (rather than replying to the whole mailing-list) to let me know about your thoughts. Well, you may have understood that I am not that far from discontinuing support of the current 1.x.x branch, so SPGM 1.4.3 could likely be its last release. I will tell you more about it soon. Cheers. Sylvain |
