Gallery 1.5-RC2 Preview Release

Posted on Monday, March 14, 2005 @ 06:36:39 CST
Gallery v1.5-RC2 is now available for download. This release has been in development for a long time. With over 300 changes, it fixes a large number of bugs and has a huge number of new features. RC2 addresses all known issues discovered in RC1. Read more for the details!

Download 1.5-RC2 from the Gallery Download Page. Visit the 1.5-RC2 Discussion Thread to submit bug reports or see a known issues list.

Note: This is a *pre-release* version, and you should be sure to BACK UP YOUR GALLERY *before* installing and upgrading your current Gallery. Read on for information on how to back up critical data...

We have provided a small PHP script with this version to assist you in making a backup. When you download and decompress this release, the script will be located in:

gallery/setup/backup_albums.php

To run this script, put your Gallery into configuration mode and copy backup_albums.php out of its location in the setup directory and into your existing main Gallery directory. Run this script from your browser. It will package the important album data and save a backup to your computer, in one of two formats: .tar.gz (useful on Unix/Linux systems) or .zip (useful on Windows systems).

The script gives you the option of backing up your entire albums ("All files") directory or just the Gallery database files ("Data files only"). While you should have a backup copy of all your photos, for most upgrades, it is sufficient to just back up the data files only. Note that backing up all the files could produce a *huge* file, since all of your photos will be included.

Finally, verify the contents of the downloaded backup file to make sure the files were indeed saved. Once you have the data files backed up, you can confidently proceed with reconfiguring your Gallery and updating your albums. Make sure you remove the copy of backup_albums.php from the Gallery directory, so visitors can't make a copy of your entire Gallery!
