Small changes are always in the version.txt of your download. If the changes are not important enough for a new release I will only add a build number e.g. 1.7.5 -> 1.7.4.5
1.7.5 - 04.10.2008
New: Support for round corners. See the new howto 50 for details.
New: Rekursiv private.txt. Not every folder does now need his own one anymore!
New: global_image.htm. You can create this file in the main folder of TWG. This is a global image.txt + the macro {img_full_url} which is a link to the original image!
New: Better root.txt support. Using it shows everthing like on the 1st page - thanks to Hubertus for the code
New: New skin - "round corners". Can be used for the default skin to get round corners + can be used as template if you use your own skin to get round corners. check the skin folder.
Fix: The Ajax thumbnailstrip was very slow because of a css bug in Firefox 3. Don't use border style inset in FF3. Seems to be buggy ;). I have changed the style and now it is very fast in FF3 again.
Fix: Couple of small fixes in the french language file.
Fix: Keyboard navigation for IE7 was not working because of a change in 1.7.4. Now it works fine again.
Fix: the iframe of the maximized slideshow was a little to wide in IE. I reduced the size by 50 px.
Fix: The cache generation for remote images was not supported yet. Now it is but the $resite_only_if_to_big flag is not supported if I cannot read the size of the external image.
Fix: Remote image fullscreen support was not supporting spaces in the path like the rest of the gallery - now it does.
Fix: Remote images were loading very slow in the popup because a function that does not support remote images was used. This caused the browser to wait a couple of secounds.
Fix: Key navigation code is now the same for alle browsers. I could remove the IE solution.
Fix: SERVER_NAME is not used anymore because it was not delivering the right value all the time. Now HTTP_HOST ist used - Thanks to Hubertus for the hint.
Fix: window.open in new windows was not the optimal size in IE. Now a resize is done after the opening - Thanks for Hubertus for the hint.
1.7.4.5
Fix: Warning during slideshow was thrown because the header was already sent. The charset is now set earlier and now waring is shown anymore.
Fix: the jomla random module could not be installed because of the wrong xml file. Now the one for 1.5 is included again.
1.7.4.4
New: private.txt in the main folder does now work at sub folders as well. You don't have to specify a private.txt everywhere anymore. This solution is NOT recursiv for other folders. I'm working on this!
Fix: A error during cache cleanup was shown. Now it works fine again.
Fix: In the fullscreen mode the caption was sometimes one image behind because of a timing problem. I added syncronisation at this point and now it works perfect.
Fix: Small layout enhancements in the administration.
1.7.4.3
Fix: The normal slideshow was throwing an error because the refactoring was not done there. Now it works without warnings again.
1.7.4.2
Fix: Some minor warnings are not shown in the debug file anymore and a fallback has been implemented for this cases.
Fix: The example for iframe was updated - it works now with the new lytebox as well.
1.7.4.1
Fix: The new lytebox was always starting at 30px independent of the scrolling. now it start 30px below the current viewport
Fix: Pagination was not working properly when subdirs where used (problem added in 1.7.4!). Now it's fine again.
1.7.4 - 01.07.2008 - make a normal update - or use the patch file of the download page!
New: Lytebox is now integrated! It replaces the normal liteboxbecuase it support iframes (read the updated howto) and is only 40% in size!
New: Official support for Firefox 3.0 ;). Everything was working fine ;). You need Flash 9 for a fully working thumbnails flash!
New: Custom sorting of directories is now supported. You have to use a file called config_sort.php for this! Read howto 6 for details.
Fix: Resetting the session was done twice instead of once. Some images where missing for one request. Now they are show right away!
Fix: Only the first 10 diretories where in cluded in the topx because of a recursion problem. Now it works like it should!
Fix: The album exporer was not working selecting the menu items anymore after the data is loaded from the cache. The session info was not stored to the cache. Now it is and even at direct links the right menu item is selected.
Fix: funpic.de changed it's layer ad's. I adopted TWG that they are now again removed ;).
1.7.3.3
New: The key 'Esc' does now close the maximized view!
Fix: When using php include and direct download was enabled the popup was not found. Now the popup is displayed fine.
1.7.3.2
New: You can now show/hide the breadcrumb by setting $show_breadcrumb to true/false
Fix: The Flash Uploader was infrequently not working the first time. This was a timing issue with the session that is now fixed! You should update to be 100% sure that it works all the time!
Fix: The website structure has changed - TWG does now use the new links - the old ones still work but are only redirected.
Fix: When using php include the smilies where not shown when smilies are loaded by the Ajax solution.
Fix: Breadcrumb had one > too much with images in the main folder. Now it is o.k.
Fix: The recursive view dir function has now a maxumum depth limit of 10. This avoids a looup if the directory structure is linked in a loop!
Fix: precaching and php include was throwing an error message in the log about smilies not found. During caching this should not be done anyway and therefore smilie replace is now disabled during caching.
Fix: TFU: Preview text was not shown properly - always preview not available was shown.
1.7.3.1
Fix: I reworked all skins to work nicer with the new thumbnail flash and with the album tree!
Fix: Roation when using the thumbnail strip was not working. Now it does ;)
Fix: Divx support was brocken for special characters - i fixed the encoding and now it wotks fine again
Fix: Remote directoy support improved. It does now support special characters
Fix: use_direct_small was not used becuse i renamed something. Now the detail images are fetched from the cache directly again.

TWG 1.7.3 - 12.05.2008

New: In the administration is a red ! where the cache has to be deleted after a change.
Fix: Mediaplayer 3.16 update!

Fix: html_entity_decode_fixed was called without a needed parameter at one place.
TWG 1.7.2 - 18.04.2008
New: TFU 2.7.4 was integrated into this version.
Fix: root.txt was only working on windows systems because of a path issue. Now it works as expected on all systems.
TWG 1.7.1
Important: TFU 2.7.1 was integrated into this version because of a security bugfix. The problem is in TWG not as important as in the standalone version of TFU because it is properly integrated into the system but registered users that can rename files could change the file extension by faking a request.
New: TWG does now autorefresh the cache data if new images are added. TWG stores a timestamp in the cache data and only compares the timestamp of a directory.
New: Nonscrolling ajax strip does now support the left right buttons!
New: Support for piclens plugin - a rss is now generated for all existing cache images. The rss is only updates every 4 hours.
New: Better session handling. Session is now started before config is read. This makes it possilbe to e.g. pass parameters from a cms to the config of TWG
New: Updated the Joomla modules for 1.5 - see the jomla-mambo folder
New: Support for Firefox 3 beta 4. Fixed some small layout issues with the album explorer - everything else works fine ;).
New: (Update of TFU) Better workaround if session is killed by the server because of the flash.
New: support for shell_exec and exec. Some servers don't allow exec!
New: I added $enable_enhanced_debug - then you get the request string in the debug if an error happens - only turn this on if I tel you ;).
New: Search engine optimisation: Meta tags and the titel do now have the album
New: TWG does now delete the cache files of a file if you upload a file that already exists.
New: Workaround for 'Fatal error: Out of memory in fun_list.php is a server cannot detect the correct user group
New: Workaround for 'Fatal error' if image magick and ffmpeg fail on windows
Fix: Some minor debug warnings were eliminated - The do no real harm but they where not nice ;).
Fix: Mp3 DHTML mode was not working anymore (only 1st song played) if $linktowvx was false - this is completly unrelated and now it works like expected!
Fix: iframe include did not scroll properly in IE - please read the updated howto 2!
Fix: Search for tags was throwing a warning because dir tags could be empty. I now check the value and handle this properly.
Fix: Changed "Back" to "Previous" in the en language file
Fix + redesign: root.txt - I rewrote this part because it was hard to use - read the updated howto 21 about this!
Fix: The rights for the upload you could set in the backend was allowing folder operations even if you did not give them. There was a wrong check that I fixed now everywhere
Fix: gdlib string "2.0 or higher" was not recognized - I added this detection.
Fix: I have rewritten the detection of the posix_geteuid because there where several ways how this cannot be available.
Fix: Server IP was shown instead remote address when comments are entered!
Fix: I added a workaround for a php 4 bug. This was already in 1.6.
TWG version 1.7
New: TopX can now all be precached. They can be generated now in the background and are refreshed every 4 hours (can be set). The topx are then not up to date then. Should be used if the topx takes more than a few secounds to loads.
New: For frontend users it is now possible to have more than one user dir. See the user administration for instructions.
New: Selfregistration - read the howto how to use this.
New: Hard disk cache for directories and images. Set $serialize_dir_data=true; This is a very high level of caching you can enable. The directory structure including the images are serialized to the cache folder. After enabling this the files are updated in the intervall given at precache_main_top_x_interval.
New: image magic can be used to generate the thumbs and the detail images. gdlib is still needed! Because it is used for all images that ware only generated on the fly (like random, maximum images, slideshow optimized and slideshow maximum, fullscreen). Some people say image magic is much better than gd-lib. But I don't see a big difference anymore. But for big images this is very good because is has a lower memory usage and you can process bigger images then - make sure that image magic is installed properly! For the final I'll write a small howto how check this Wink.
New: Autorotation of images. I do now read the exif info of a file and rotate the image at the first generation if the camera has set it. Check the autorotate_images setting.
New: Support for ffmpeg to generate thumbnails directly from the video!
New: Generate thumbnail from videos during upload.
New: Conversion of videos to flv during upload possible.
New: Automatic creation of video.php!
New: Comments only for registered users possible. User name automatically set when comments only for registered users.
New: Ip for comments can now be shown - "unwanted" comments can be tracked back this way.
New: Error image if image magic is not available or not configured properly.
New: info.php checks image magick + ffmpeg
New: Reimplementation of the Ajax connection usage. Now connections are reused for better performance and less connections on the server! The framework I used before was not doing this properly!
New: Check if autorotation can be done.
New: Autorotation during upload!
New: .htaccess ins hauptverziechniss, damit man keine xml und txt files von aussen listen kann!
New: subfolders only shown on 1st page!
New: The skin is automatically removed from the my_config.php and the slide.jpg images are deleted if a skin is saved.
New: French language for administration.
New: video.php not needed anymore if you like the defaults. you then have only html as mode. If you like dhtml mode you still have to use video.php. The advantage is that videos and images can be in one folder now too.
New: show_counter_in_jstree - you can now show the number of pics in the album explorer.
New: The pager line can now be configured - it has now a style + the spacer char can be set + long pager lines are optimized!
New: Support of Geocoded images - link to google maps is in the info panel
New: Optimized loading time of 1st page - cache is now not checked every session - only every $cache_time days + reding of album tree is optimized and pushed to the background - speedup the first call by 80% (My demo gallery with 3500 images loads below 2 sec. now - was 7 sec before.)
New: Caching of topxviews can now be configured for big subdirectories as well - check $precache_topx_additional_dirs
New: Now you can have a 2nd field from the iptc data you can add to the caption - check $iptc_fields_for_caption_add and $iptc_fields_for_caption_add_style
New: Support for private.txt for the main folder that restricts the whole gallery! I have also rewritten the error login page - now you don't get a text only; you get the login form right away
New: menu.htm can be used to extend the menu in the right upper corner. is language dependent menu_de.htm. This file has to be in the main folder of twg.
New: Remote image filter enhanced. Some webservers have the full path in the href - I do now strip the path and remote images work on much more servers.
New: You can shorten the breadcrumb with ... - check $hide_middle_folders_in_breadcrumb
New: overview.htm / thumb.htm / image.htm are now language dependent!
New: local thumb.htm is now possible. simply put a thumb.htm in the folder you like to display it. On the image page you can use image.txt for this purpose.
New: Topx - views can be shown like random image on an external page or included like a random image everywhere - check the updated howto 4!
New: TFU 2.7 completely integrated in TWG now - Edit of text files is available for registered users.
New: folder.png made out of topx ! Creating a folder.png on the fly! Works folderbased and recusive. External galleries are NOT supportet.
New: Clicking on the window outside the iframe closes the iframe.
New: You can now map albums if you move them - prevents dead links! check mapping.php in the main folder - usefull if you e.g. move your albums to e.g. an 2006 folder and have links somewhere you don't want to update!
New: If the available space is smaller than the space the iframe for the slideshow needs then the iframe is made smaller if not to break the layout in php include mode
New: move_error_images - Moves corrupt images to a specific folder is you specify one. you can automatically move images that throw an error to the folder your provide here! Makes it easy to find corrupt images people upload. The problem can be too big images, or corrupt images
New: Optimized TWG for large galleries - Test the gallery with 250 000 images! Problem: The Javascript tree gets so big that it takes 15 sec to render it (means 15 sec. is used by the browser itself!) - Therefor you should turn the album tree off it you have a speed problem!
New: Latest version (3.13) of the jw_flv_player is now included and fully supported.
New: Mouseover effect with folder.png - simply provide a folder2.png - this is used when you move the mouse over the folder.
New: Russian translation added.
Refactoring: All needed calls where checked if they where needed and they where optimized.
Refactoring: TWG does now track exaclty where to go if you press the up button or the breadcrumb - you land exactly at the page you came from - before you only got to the upper level independent at which page you have been before.
Refactoring: Read the file list was dupplicated 4 times - now extracted in one function
Refactoring: Create cacheimagestring : str_replace("/", "_", $twg_album); replaced ca. 20 times!
Refactoring: I merged the functions generaterandom and generatefullscreen because the differences where very small.
Refactoring: I have consolitated the use of the cachedir - this makes it now possible to store the images in the cache in md5 an not extermely long. This makes it possible to directly access the cache without encoding! I have removed $double_encode_urls for the cache because of this!
Refactoring: Better detection of corrupt xml files. Sometimes php has written bad xml files - I have improved the detection of errors and added some automatic fixes.
Fix: Only directories that have subdirs are serialized now (setting $serialize_dir_data=true) - before too many cache files where created that only had one entry and this was not really needed.
Fix: in dev13 I added "Clicking on the window outside the iframe closes the iframe" was closing too much - now it works fine ;)
Fix: Improved html to be as good as possible w3c conform - suring development of 1.7 some stuff was not correct
Fix: Added latest version of TFU 2.7 where a color bug was fixed.
Fix: Deletion of temp caches was only working once a day - not every precache_main_top_x_interval - now this works fine
Fix: using || as break in the title was shown in the slideshow - now it's shown as <br>
Fix: on funpic servers php_uname and exec is not allowed - this leaded to an error message on the info panel - I catch this error now and display a nicer message.
Fix: When using HTML_SIDE extra images where shown left and right - they are now not shown anymore.
Fix: New pager optimized for different backgrounds. Style sheet has changed a little bit ;)
Fix: FLV player had problems with IE - I added some extra variables. Now it seems to work fine.
Fix: During Upload with the Flash uploader and when autmatically generating the thumbnails not all functions where available. This is fixed now
Fix: During Upload the session was not refreshed always when needed - now it is.
Fix: Topx for external galleries does now work too ;).
Fix: Reading the language list was throwing a warning on some servers with strict security settings like on funpic.
Fix: TWG admin: top bottom selector was not loaded and therefore set back to default if not changed every time you saved. Now it works fine like the other switches ;).
Fix: The logging.gif was not centered in ie. Now it is ;)
Fix: Fullscreen flv player can be configured - either fullscreen or iframes over flv player. Both is not possible
Fix: Video pages with old vongi.php do now use dhtml again. Automatich video detection is only possible with html mode
Fix: When exta parameters like &s=photos (like in a CMS) was added this was a problem in the check the the detail popup - a download window was shown after 2 2nd image - the reason was that the internal JS test for the popup was checking if the url ends with an image extension. I rearanged the url - now everything works fine.
Fix: language files of TFU added - they where missing ;).
Fix: Random image was not working in dev 10 anmore because I added a security check - now this check works for random image as well.

Fix: If the broser size could not be detected an error was thrown. This is now catched.
Fix: Stripos is only available in php 5 - I removed this function because I want that TWG still runs on 4.3.x - I made a small workaround for this ...
Fix: Remote images did not work anymore since dev 4 because the autorotation was reading exif and this does not work remote - is now fixed again.
Fix: Counter for remote images where broke sind dev 3 - Was because of the refactoring I did - now this works again.
Fix: The size of the open new window version is now stored seperately. The slideshows and the autodetection of thumbs do now work with both browser instances open
Fix: New/Better xml error handling. I do now parse corrupt xml string manually and fixes the problems I know and can handle by myself properly.
Fix: xml files are now tested random every 10th time. Makes sure that the gallery does not stop to work forever because of a corrupt xml.
Fix: php include - the open new window was not working anymore - this is fixed now + the full caching is now working for php include as well!
Fix: The maximized slideshow was not working properly for horizontal images (way too big). Now they are as good as they can be ;).
Fix: A couple of strings in the backend where not right - they are fixed now.
Fix: videos where always over iframes like the comments - now the wmmode is set to transparent - iframes are now over the flash players (flv, you tube, google ...)
Fix: Folder based watermarks where not working anymore - Now they are working properly again ;).
Fix: "Cannot modify header...header already sent.." - error message - happends when files are safed in UTF-8 with BOM - I have catched this output and discard it if it happens!

TWG version 1.6.3 - 16.07.2007
Fix: Admin could not upload with the flash in the main directory (all other users and directories worked fine)
Fix: Some minor layout fixes
Fix: I 'optimized' some images in the admin - now they are not missing anymore ;).
TWG version 1.6.2 - 16.05.2007
New: Upload menu item is now shown on the thumbspage as well.
New: TFU 2.5.1 integrated - only minor changes here you should not notive inside TWG but check out the standalone version ;).

TWG version 1.6.1 - 10.05.2007
New: I do now directly link to the .small images. This again decreases the server load and increases the speed. Additionally it makes it possible to use the gallery even when files returned by php are destroyed by the server encoding ;).
New: Images can now be in the main directory too! ;).
New: If you add banners or something like that on the thumbspage you can specify their height in the config - this optimized the autodetection of thumbs.
New: When using the twg flash Uploader the cache images are generated after the upload!

Fix: The cache of the album tree was only language dependant - now it's password dependant too. Makes it better if a gallery is unlocked - the cache has not to be regenerated.
Fix: Some php versions do return a wrong PHP_SELF variable. This leads to a wrong album explorer cache. Now the cach is double checked. I check the cache itself and check if PHP_SELF exists.
Fix: The counter cache is tested now - If an error is detected it's refreshed.
Fix: I removed the preloader from the TWG Admin - it does not make sense there ;).
Fix: After editing a file the TWGXploer was not returning to the current directory (same for delete, edit, move ...) - The action parameter was not encoded properly!

Fix: German wording in the TWG Admin
Fix: Direct links where using notscrolling thumbstrip even when not needed - now this works too ;).
