I'd like to say Thanks to the dev team for all their hard work on this program, and I look forward to using it far into the future.

[lamama]

Yipee!  That's good news.
Many thanx for all the work.

[cheko]

Yeah, many thx to the devs...

[MIRROR]

I dunno if i got lucky or just simply perfect timing of sorts but at any rate congrats all those who put their toil and efforts into the code and fine tuned yet another incredible version to release.

Where do I find out if 1.4.2 has the option of allowing users to delete their own images? Or if the option can be set by admin to allow this? I'm looking in the manual but I'm not seeing it if it's there.

Thanks. And I really look forward to upcoming versions also.

[Nibbler]

It's there.

Allow users to retain control over their pics in public galleries

When enabled, both the admin and the uploading user can edit and delete files that were uploaded to a public gallery. Of course the user must have permissions to upload to the public gallery in the first place (see the groups control panel) before this option will have any effect.

[digimic]

can we add the module which allows to manage external servers? or is it included in this version?

[Nibbler]

It's a user contributed modification that goes unsupported by the dev team.

[toujours]

I can throw away Tortoise CVS now ! I was getting merge messages and all sorts of strangeness recently...

ok but i think as many people are waiting for this functionallity, do you expect to support it soon?

[Joachim Müller]

stop asking questions like that, this is an announcement thread. You have already expressed your desire for such a mod to go into the core code, while the devs have expressed in various threads already that they won't add such a feature into the core. This discussion is futile, especially on this thread that deals with a package release. We have a whole sub-board dedicated to feature requests.

[zoinks]

This may seem like a stupid question, but since 1.4.2 is now stable, why isn't there info on the homepage about it replacing 1.3.5? While I'm excited about the news, I came upon this announcement quite by accident...

Also, didn't see in the features list or screenshots that admin can reorder images within an album (aside from by title and dates that is). Is that part of 1.4.2?

Thanks for all your hard work! 

[Joachim Müller]

simply because I didn't have the time to update the homepage yet - cpg1.4.2 has been released only yesterday, and there's a lot of stuff that needs to be done to reflect the new version. Please bear with me, my day only has 24 hours.

Thanks GauGau. I'm sure there's tons of stuff to do in releasing a new version, and I bet you needed some well-deserved rest after completing it!    Just wanted to make sure "stable" does indeed mean it's ready for public consumption.

Also, is this the right place to bring up my question about ability to reorder images within an album (aside from by title and dates that is) in 1.4.2?  I didn't see that in the new features list or screenshots...

sorry Gaugau, i'm new in this forum

[Joachim Müller]

Thanks GauGau. I'm sure there's tons of stuff to do in releasing a new version, and I bet you needed some well-deserved rest after completing it!   

Hehe, I don't take a rest right now, I just have to earn money sometimes as well (darn, I have a regular paying job )...

Just wanted to make sure "stable" does indeed mean it's ready for public consumption.

Yes, that's what it means.

Also, is this the right place to bring up my question about ability to reorder images within an album (aside from by title and dates that is) in 1.4.2? 

No, this is the wrong place. In fact, the very first posting on this thread should give you an idea what to post here.

@all: please keep this thread clean! Don't clutter it with individual questions. In fact, don't post questions here at all, unless they're directly related to the release itself (the act of releasing the package). If you have questions on features or you need support, start your own thread (of course after having read the docs and searched the board first). However, you're welcome to post here if you actually like the new package or say some warm words .

Geez, I just got 1.3.x figured out sorta, lol.

Seriously, thanks for the continued blood, sweat and tears.  I want you to know that there are a lot of good people out there that appreciate your (dev team) hard work, and the support you give us.
