I am happy to announce the availability of Media Gallery v0.92 RC3. It can be downloaded at www.ecsnet.org.

Although a release candidate, it appears to be very stable and is working well on several sites.

v0.92RC3 brings the following fixes / enhancements

• [New] Geeklog v1.40b1 Support
  
• [New] Turkish Language Support (Thanks Kemal)
  
• [New] Italian Language Support (Thanks Nicola)
  
• [Enh] Added Batch Rotate capabilities to Media Manage Screen
  
• [Enh] Added much more debug information to the upload / media conversion process.
  
• [Enh] Featured Album now allows multiple featured albums, you can have one for each topic, etc.
  
• [Enh] Added a Select all / Un Select All button to the Media Management screen.
  
• [Enh] Make the Random Image block template driven
  
• [Enh] Added phpinfo() link on Admin menu - might help with debugging some installation problems
  
• [Enh] Cosmetic changes to style sheet and many templates. Image borders should appear much better for portrait images.
  
• [Enh] A new date option is available - No Date - this surpresses displaying dates on both Albums and media.
  
• [Enh/Fix] If comments are disabled, I now do not display the 'Comments: 0' with the media.
  
• [Enh/Fix] If usage_tracking is disabled, no Views: 0 will be displayed with the media.
  
• [Fix] Titles / Descriptions were truncated if they contained apostrophe's or commas.
  
• [Fix] Newly created albums were placed at the end of the album list instead of the top
  
• [Fix] Found another issue with autotags where they could fail, I believe all autotag issues have been fixed!
  
• [Fix] Incorrect configuration variable set for dateformat
  
• [Fix] Found more text strings in templates, moved to language files
  
• [Fix] GD lib rotate code completely redone, again. I hope this finally fixes the issues with clipping
  
• [Fix] Removed the table from the random_image.thtml - really not necessary.
  
• [Fix] Had a few hard coded fonts, now use CSS entries.
  
• [Fix] There were several hard coded text strings in the upload routines, moved to language files.
  
• [Fix]Tweaked the look/feel a bit. Removed the background color on album/media details. Seems to look a bit better with various themes. Feedback welcome!
  
• [Fix] Rotating an image will always use 100% quality setting, it was 75% so the more you rotated the worse the picture became.
  
• [Fix] Media Gallery searching was not honoring the author data
  
• [Fix] Media Edit screen, the Uploaded By entry was empty
  
• [Fix] I had a hard coded width in view_image.thtml which caused problems when viewing the full image.
  
• [Fix] Improved thumbnail display in Media Manage Screen
  
• [Fix] Album Cover did not always work correctly
  
• [Fix] In main Media Gallery index page, sub albums where not sorted properly
  
• [Fix] Uploaded media has 600 (rw----) perms which causes problems when doing an FTP backup
  
• [Fix] If an album or sub-album is empty, it can inherit the last update date/time for a near by album.
  
• [Fix] FTP upload reports the wrong error if it cannot open the target file, reports unknown media type but should report Permission Denied.

Couple of your comment functions are useless with gl 1.4, specifically, plugin_commentStoryLinkUrl_mediagallery() and plugin_commentParentUrl_mediagallery().

Since I let those tedious functions out, Vinny has implemented a bit of a twist. Have another look at lib-plugins and you'll notice PLG_getCommentUrlId() doing the same job.
