small documentation bug?

I just upgraded from 1.3.3 to 1.4.1 beta.  I ran the upgrade as written in the documentation.  Seems to work fine.  When I view the version check it gives an error for two missing index.php files within the albums directory. 
   albums/index.php   and albums/userpics/index.php   

The instructions said not to upload the albums directory.  There was an index.html in each directory from the 1.3.3.  I'm not sure if this really matters, but it does show up bright read in versioncheck.  I just copied in the corresponding index.php to get rid of the error.

Thanks for reporting this.  The index.html file located at ./albums/ and ./albums/userpics/ for CPG 1.3.x have been replaced with index.php located under the same corresponding directories for CPG 1.4.x.

The reason the documentation stresses not to upload the albums directory is that with some FTP clients, will actually replace the albums directory which means that your photos will be overwritten with an 'empty' ./albums directory. You can manually place the two index.php files on your webserver; however, those two files do not effect the functionality of CPG.

@GauGau: maybe we should address that in the documentation? If not in the beta version then we should address that in the stable release.
Please do not PM me with support questions. Please read the manual and then if posting questions please place them in the proper sub-boards.

I'll just address this in versioncheck.php - marking them as "optional" instead of "mandatory" - this should do the trick. Fix committed.
