When’s it coming out?
That’s a lot of what I’m getting. “When is the next release?”, you say. Soon. Very soon.
I’m working on making the template tags solidly written in stone. A lot of thought was NOT made early enough in the development regarding how tags are written, which ones we need, etc. The next release will signify the start of documentation and a solid, never to be changed, set of templating functions.
Soon! :)
Beta r396
Download here: http://photostack.org/releases/beta-newest.zip
Mostly bug fixes, including control panel glitch and a lack of IM support for rotation. Everything else is working wonderfully. Please report any problems you have. This is going to be the “public” beta if all is good.
Also, spread the word! If you like PhotoStack, let your friends, neighbors, and enemies know. :)
Beta r391
Download here: http://photostack.org/releases/beta-newest.zip
The control panel is now fully working, allowing you to edit your config file from the web interface. A bunch of tiny but relevant bugs are squashed (including all the bugs I came across in the comments).
Again, keep the bugs and problems coming. Thank you!

Beta r385
This is now 386, forgot to commit the control panel page in, all is fixed. Re-download as you please.
Download it here: http://photostack.org/releases/beta-newest.zip
It’s got quite a few bug fixes, mostly dealing with entity encoding issues. The organize interface is being perfected. I really urge you to test this release out.
Again, remember that these features are yet to be coded (but will be):
- install.php installer script
- exif date functions
Let me know of any bugs or requests. Thanks for your help.
Beta r380
Download here: http://photostack.org/releases/beta-newest.zip
I’m pleased to release this beta. Thanks for your help and support! It’s turning in to a really nice piece of software, thanks to you!
This beta is the best and most stable of them all. Perhaps FC1?
Fixed some problems, added some features to the admin panel, fixed some more bugs, fixed rss, or from the changelog:
* added bluk and single image rotation
* fixed RSS problems in templates and mod_rewrite
* fixed problems when creating galleries with entities
Beta r374
373 is gone due to a small bug, 374 is now out.
So, r374 is out, download it over here: http://
photostack.org/releases/beta-newest.zip
I removed the .svn directories for those of you that hated me for it.
Check the release notes for specifics. However, let me say that this is a kickin’ release. We’ve got mult-file javasript enhanced uploads (from over here, additional template functions (that were missing), and a beautification in the default template, thanks to Brant Winter.
Also, make sure to check out “Lines” over at Blurg. Love the toons.
Let me know of any issues, big or small.
