Since we added a some features over the last couple of weeks and we didn't want you to wait, we decided to put out another RC before releasing JoomGallery 1.5 Stable.

Many thanks to all of you for your feeback in the forums. As always, this has been a great help identifying and fixing bugs.

Many people requested a possibility of using images from the gallery in content articles. There it finally is:

JoomGallery Content Plugin "JoomPlu" 1.5 BETA

At the moment there aren't many features yet, but we hope that this will change soon.

After the release of JoomGallery 1.0.0 Stable, we publish a release candidate of JG 1.5 today.

In addition to many small fixes there were three major changes:

Firstly, the gallery uses the Joomla!'s file system now (thus also the FTP-Layer if activated). So many errors caused by missing permissions will hopefully be avoided.
Furthermore, the complete configuration is saved in the database from now on. Therefore the config file becomes unnecessary, from which we expect that it will prevent errors at saving the configuration.

Another mentionable change is the introduction of the .ini files relating to the language output. Thus it's now possible to install a new language simply by using the Joomla! installer. You won't have to upload the files per FTP anymore.

In the same way you are now able to update the gallery by using an update component. All you have to do is to install this component, every update and replacement procedure is executed automatically. Please ensure that the update was successfully before you continue to use the gallery (please consider a backup before getting started, too). This update possibility is not able to update JoomGallery 1.0.0 to JoomGallery 1.5. Such an update will be provided by us once the JG 1.5 reaches the 'stable' status.

The automatic search for available updates is also introduced with this version. An RSS file provided on JoomGallery.net, which will always contain the current version numbers of JoomGallery and its extensions, is read by the gallery every time you open the admin panel. Together with the update component it's even possible to start prospective updates by one single mouse click. You are naturally able to deactivate the update checker completely.
This feature is also accompanied by a new layout of the admin panel, which is now hopefully more clearly arranged and maybe more attractive, too. There you can be informed about news on our site with the help of the feed module as well.

Goodbye Lightbox!
Unfortunately, we have to announce a parting, too. The lightbox is in conflict with the Mootools framework, which is included by Joomla! very often, and some other javascript codes. Therefore it isn't profitable anymore to continue 'arguing' with it (sorry). Moreover there is only a small optical difference between the slimbox and the lightbox. We intend to integrate another box like them soon.

We hope that you will go on supporting us by posting bug reports in the forum or in the bug tracker and now: Have fun with the RC of JoomGallery 1.5.
