ImgBrowz0r 0.3 Beta

— Frank — ? Comments

After almost 7 months it's almost here, ImgBrowz0r 0.3. I'm now releasing a beta version which already has a lot of improvements.

I was already working on 0.3 last year, but the code got messy and I was also working on Shinobu. I've started working on ImgBrowz0r again in March when I saw how much it was downloaded (+400 times!).

Well, here's the list of changes:

  • Most of it is rewritten.
  • Categories are called directories now.
  • Images can be dropped into the root gallery directory directly.
  • All thumbnails are now stored in a centralized cache.
  • The table based layout is replaced with a div based layout.
  • The sorting order of images and directories can now be set in the configuration.
  • The images and cache can now be placed on different locations/domains on a server.
  • Dropped base64 encoding for the category location in the url.
  • Improved quality of GIF thumbnails.
  • Improved page navigation.
  • Improved for environments that use url rewriting.
  • Added support for unlimited nesting of categories (directories).
  • Added support for daylight saving time (DST).
  • Added support for uppercase file extensions.
  • Added support for .jpeg, .jpe, .jif, .jfif and .jfi file extensions.
  • Added breadcrumbs navigation.
  • Added imgbrowz0r::output_style() to output a style for the div based layout.

The beta can be download here.

I hope everyone likes it. And let me know if you found a bug.
