ZenPhoto

• Faster image loading by using the cached image path directly if the file exists. [trisweb]
• Custom suffix for image pages (eg: /alb/img1.jpg » /alb/img1.jpg.php) Defaults to .php, is backward-compatible with older URLs by 301-redirect, and makes sense. #16 [trisweb]
• Now compatible with PHP safe_mode restriction. [trisweb]
• Fix for permissions wrongly set in cache folder (could not delete cached images). [trisweb]
• Added optional Unsharp Mask for thumbnails, defaults to off. Config param: thumb_sharpen. [trisweb]
• Refactored the way requests are handled. Split into 2 include files: controller.php and functions-controller.php. [trisweb]
• mod_rewrite rules for sub-albums complete; works to infinite path depth. [trisweb]
• Much improved SEO (Search Engine Optimization) – URLs are always 301-redirected to their single canonical form; #16 (custom suffix) fixes image pages not appearing in indexes. [trisweb]
• Major code refactoring and reorganization. [trisweb]
• Warning if you use the default password. [Chris S.]
• Better filtering of the album folder/image filename to avoid duplicate database entries. [trisweb]
• Collected garbage in garbage collection methods. Fixed several bugs. [trisweb]
• 1.0.8.1 – Fixed a bug with the image suffix as ‘.php’ [trisweb]

• Bug: image sorting within albums fixed (getImageId() not found error). [trisweb]
• Bug: image dimensions are now cached in the database again (no functional difference, but much faster). [trisweb]
• Changed the default RewriteBase in .htaccess to /zenphoto to correspond with the default folder in the package. [trisweb]
• Now detects changed images and reprocesses them if the cached versions are old. [trisweb]
• When an image cannot be found/loaded, an error image is shown instead of no image (passing i.php?...&debug disables this and shows the error output) [trisweb]
• Other minor bugfixes and code cleanups.

• Removed web_path and server_path config variables. They are now automatically deduced (and there was much rejoicing).
• Added theme functions: getPrevImageThumb() and getNextImageThumb() – return the path
  to the thumbnail of the previous or next image relative to the current image.

  be able to use any loop anywhere without affecting the state.

• [Bug 005125] AJAX-editing no longer strips HTML from titles/descriptions.
