Zenphoto 1.4 January 02, 2011

IMPORTANT NOTES: This release includes some major internal restructuring of the object model. This also involves the Zenpage plugin whose categories are now objects like the articles and pages already were.

Additionally the root RSS files have been removed which results in new links to call the RSS feeds. Although we have added htaccess redirection so the links should not break (given you have mod_rewrite of course) you should inform your subscribers about the new links. The same applies to the sitemap-extended plugin.

Also there were some more minor changes to theming and plugin creations. Please review the related tutorials.
