Zoph 0.7pre2 released

Here is the second pre-release for Zoph 0.7. A few bugs have been solved and all translations have been updated.

All duplicate and unused strings have been removed from the translation files. Dutch, German, Canadian English, French, Norwegian and even Swedish Chef (Bork! Bork! Bork!) are completely up to date now. Danish, Italian and Turkish are almost up to date.

Many thanks to Antoine Delvaux, Francesco Ciattaglia, Håvard Lund and Mufit Eribol for translating Zoph in their languages.

This is also the last call for translations and bugs! I am planning on releasing v0.7 by the end of this week, so if you are aware of any bugs that are still present in v0.7pre2, please report them as soon as possible. Also, if you wish to include a new translation in Zoph or update an existing (see http://www.zoph.org for missing strings in current translations), please submit them as soon as possible, so they can still be included in the upcoming release!

Known issues:

Zoph 0.6pre1 released

The first pre-release of Zoph v0.6 is now available on Sourceforge. Most notable new features are the possibility to leave comments and the possibility to link photos to eachother (you could for example use this to keep the original photo together with edited versions). For all new features, see the changelog.

This is the first pre-release of Zoph 0.6, so despite all the testing I have done, it could be beta-quality. Don't install it if you're not comfortable with that. If you do not mind running into a glitch, please do install it, and report all the bugs (even the little ones), so I can make sure they'll be removed in the final version.

If no really bad bugs are found, you can expect the final 0.6 version in about a month.

Known issues:

• Not all language files are completely up to date.

Zoph 0.5.1 released

Zoph 0.5.1 is available on Sourceforge. Several bugs have been fixed in this rel ease. Most notable are some encoding issues that caused trouble when you used qu otation marks in text fields, the sort order of places, and a bug on the search page that caused it to malfunction when using a translated version of Zoph. The mail classes have been updated to the most recent version.

Zoph 0.5 available

I have just posted Zoph 0.5 to the sourceforge site. As no bugs have been found since the last pre-release, this version is equal to Zoph 0.5-pre4.

Compared to v0.4, many changes have been made.

Most important changes in this release:

• Hierarchical locations
• Watermarks
• Many improvements to zophImport.pl
• Many improvements to the search page
• SSL support
• MySQL >4.1 support
• HTML updates: many tables were removed and replaced by semantic HTML, this will allow better CSS skinning in future versions.
• Some security updates: there were a few SQL-injections possible in previous versions, as far as I could determine, they were non-exploitable.

For full list of changes, see the changelog

Fourth pre-release of Zoph 0.5 available

I have just posted Zoph 0.5-pre4 to the Sourceforge site.

This is the fourth pre-release of the upcoming 0.5 release. If no major bugs are found, this is the last pre-release and v0.5 will be released the first week of March.

Some bugs in the Bulk Edit and some problems with the album permissions part of the user management have been resolved, also a (not-exploitable) SQL injection possibility has been resolved.

Third pre-release of Zoph 0.5 available

I have just posted Zoph 0.5pre3 to the sourceforge site. This release is a roundup of several fixes for bugs in Zoph 0.5pre2.

Just like the previous release, this version meant for the brave and curious who are willing to test the next release.

Please report any bugs you find on the Sourceforge bug page.

Second pre-release of Zoph 0.5 available

I have just posted Zoph 0.5pre2 to the sourceforge site. While testing Zoph-0.5pre1 I found a bug that I considered serious enough to immeadiately make a new release: a last minute change - that I obviously didn't test thorough enough - caused several errors when logging on as a non-Admin user.

Just like the previous release, this version meant for the brave and curious who are willing to test the next release.

Please report any bugs you find on the Sourceforge bug page.

Zoph 0.4 has been released

A month after the pre2 version, I have posted the the final release of Zoph 0.4 to the Sourceforge site. This version contains all the updates made over the past 2.5 years, since Zoph 0.3.3 was released, a few bugfixes were made compared to Zoph-0.4pre2.

At this point there are no known bugs. If you find any bugs in this release, please let me know. (preferably via a bug report on the Sourceforge project page).

You do not need to download a language pack, as all language files are already included. The language packs for English, Canadian English, Dutch, German and Swedish have all been updated for v0.4; the others do not yet have a translation for some new features added in v0.4; if you do use one of these languages, please consider updating the language file and submitting it (you can e-mail it, or - preferably - create a patch on the SourceForge page).

Zoph is still alive and kicking

Despite the fact that it has been silent around Zoph for quite some time, there is still much being done on the project. One example of that is the restyled webpage you're looking at right now. Version 0.4 is very close to release now with many nice features, such as:

• CSS styled pages
• Bulk editing
• Improved rating system
