2005-08-08 Pierrick LE GALL

        * new : external authentication in another users table. Previous
        users table is divided between users (common properties with any
        web application) and user_infos (phpwebgallery specific
        informations). External table and fields can be configured.
        
        * modification : profile.php is not reachable through
        administration anymore (not useful).

        * modification : in profile.php, current password is mandatory
        only if user tries to change his password. Username can't be
        changed.

        * deletion : of obsolete functions get_user_restrictions,
        update_user_restrictions, get_user_all_restrictions,
        is_user_allowed, update_user

        * modification : $user['forbidden_categories'] equals at least
        "-1" so that category_id NOT IN ($user['forbidden_categories'])
        can always be used.

        * modification : user_forbidden table becomes user_cache so that
        not only restriction informations can be stored in this table.

        * improvement : in admin/element_set_global, javascript is not
        used anymore to select an item with its thumbnail

2005-07-17 Pierrick LE GALL

        * bug fixed : in admin/user_list, if target is "selection" and
        that no user is selected, an error occurs

2005-07-17 Pierrick LE GALL

        * new feature : use Apache authentication. If
        $conf['apache_authentication'] is set true : if no user matches
        $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] in "users" table, PWG automatically
        creates one. This way, users can customize the behaviour of the
        application.

        * template : new organisation of identification menu
        (category.php). Simplification is required for Apache
        authentication (no logout link even if user is externally logged
        in)

        * new : usernames can contain quotes (required because Apache
        authentication authorized quotes in usernames)

2005-07-17 Pierrick LE GALL

        * new configuration parameter : hide thumbnail captions on main
        page with $conf['show_thumbnail_caption']

        * new configuration parameter : hide picture name in title on
        picture presentation page with $conf['show_picture_name_on_title']

        * template : new CSS classes to manage picture.php title
        
2005-07-16 Pierrick LE GALL

        * new feature : RSS notification feed. Feed generator is an
        external tool (FeedCreator class v1.7.2). New file feed.php

        * new database field : comments.validation_date (datetime). This
        field is required for notification feed.

        * new database field : users.feed_id (varchar(50)). users.feed_id
        is an alias of users.id but is much more complicated to find (50
        characters, figures or letters, case sensitive) : the purpose is
        to keep it secret (as far as possible).

        * new database field : users.last_feed_check (datetime)

        * new database field : users.registration_date (datetime)

        * bug fixed : no need to add the (unavailable) session id to
        install.php in the installation form.

        * modified database field : images.date_available become more
        precise (date to datetime). This precision is needed for
        notification feed.

        * new index : comments_i1 (validation_date). Might be useful for
        feed queries.

        * new index : comments_i2 (image_id). Useful each time you want to
        have informations about an element and its associated comments.

        * version 9.11 of mysqldump outputs database field names and table
        names with backquote "`" (didn't find how to take them off)
        
2005-06-30 Pierrick LE GALL
        
        * category permissions management comes back! (it disappeared in
        branch 1.4) This time, it is designed to support better long users
        list. On this screen, for a particular category, admin can say
        which groups and users are permitted.
        
2005-06-30 Pierrick LE GALL

        * users managment : change display of filter (according to filter
        on user comments)

2005-06-30 Pierrick LE GALL

        * categories management : new display with icon for actions
        (delete, sub-categories, elements, edit, jump to, permissions)

        * categories management : semantic HTML layout (using common
        lists)

        * categories management : new way to order categories of the same
        level : a text field let the admin reorder all categories at once.
        
2005-06-25 Pierrick LE GALL

        * new feature : ability to add links on the main page (see
        include/config_default.inc.php)
        
2005-06-21 Pierrick LE GALL

        * comments page rewritten : comments are displayed one by one,
        with filters and display options available. The list of comments
        is paginated.
        
2005-06-21 Pierrick LE GALL

        * direct communication between templates and language items,
        without needing a mapping in the PHP code.

2005-06-21 Pierrick LE GALL

        * new function get_name_from_file to centralize the construction
        of displayed name from the filename

        * new function l10n which returns the corresponding value from
        $lang if existing. Else, the key is returned. This means that if a
        language item is not translated, the key is displayed instead
        (better than nothing).

2005-06-11 Pierrick LE GALL

        * errors and informations boxes : management centralized in
        admin.php, $errors and $infos arrays replaced by $page['errors']
        and $page['infos'], special management for admin/update.php (more
        complex management)

2005-06-11 Pierrick LE GALL

        * bug 96 (informations given by uploaders are lost) correction
        reported from branch 1.4

2005-05-10 Pierrick LE GALL

        * user list : links to profile page and permissions page are
        represented by icons (more compact)

        * user list : ability to associate to a group or to dissociate
        from a group a list of selected users

        * user list : ability to set user properties in "batch" mode (a
        selection of users at once)

        * user list : alternate background color for each line
        
2005-04-30 Pierrick LE GALL

        * user list updated : ability to filter list on status. Function
        get_enums comes back to retrieve the list of possible status in
        the database.
        
2005-04-28 Pierrick LE GALL

        * user list updated : ability to filter list on group

2005-04-25 Pierrick LE GALL

        * include/config.inc.php becomes include/config_default.inc.php :
        this file should not be modified. A new file
        include/config_local.inc.php can be used for overwriting
        configuration parameters
        
2005-04-25 Pierrick LE GALL

        * come back to previous version of include/constants.php :
        %PWGVERSION% was not a mistake

2005-04-25 Pierrick LE GALL

        * profile.php is no longer used for listing users :
        admin/user_list.php comes back (as in 1.3 branch)

        * user list updated : ability to filter list on username

2005-04-25 Gweltas

        * installation labels updated (english only)

2005-04-16 Pierrick LE GALL <pierrick /at/ phpwebgallery {dot} net>

        * elements batch management : element_set page becomes the
        frontend to element_set_global and element_set_unit, infos_images
        (after a long time of use) become deprecated : the more powerful
        element_set is used instead. Consequently, batch management
        concerns caddie but also "normal categories".
        
        * refactoring code in admin.php to include the sub-file (clearer)

        * caddie : function fill_caddie replaces the code in category.php
        and can be used in admin/element_set.php

        * caddie : caddie table is added in delete_elements function

2005-04-16 Pierrick LE GALL <pierrick /at/ phpwebgallery {dot} net>

        * elements batch management : in addition to global mode, a unit
        mode is added : ability to manage a set of elements, element by
        element. This screen is very close to the existing "infos_images"
        (which will soon disappear).

        * elements batch management : in screen element_set_global, the
        display options are displayed at the top as in element_set_unit
        
2005-04-11 Pierrick LE GALL <pierrick /at/ phpwebgallery {dot} net>

        * functions get_day_list and get_month_list moved from search.php
        to include/functions.inc.php : these functions are now also used
        in admin/element_set_global.php

        * elements batch management improved : ability to set the number
        of elements to display per line, ability to set {author, name,
        creation date} fields, ability to add and remove keywords, ability
        to take selected elements out of caddie

2005-03-31 Pierrick LE GALL <pierrick at phpwebgallery dot net>

        * apply category name and element name separation in calendar
        special category

        * change method of counting total number of viewable pictures :
        pictures linked to more than one category are not counted twice.
        
2005-03-26 Pierrick LE GALL <pierrick at phpwebgallery dot net>

        * "add to caddie" link is visible only when categories contains
        elements. Only admin users can see this link

        * elements batch management : impossible to create a link between
        category and element that already exists

        * logical separation of category name under thumbnail and element
        name

2005-03-25 Pierrick LE GALL <pierrick at phpwebgallery dot net>

        * application version is defined at build or release
        creation. This way, include/constants.php won't change at each
        build.

        * new feature : caddie. The purpose is batch management,
        especially concerning elements to categories associations.This is
        the very first release, needs many improvements.
