2005-08-17 Pierrick LE GALL

        * modification : major simplification of admin.php. Titles are
        managed by included page, localized items are managed directly in
        the template.

        * new : sub template admin/double_select is included in templates
        admin/cat_options, admin/user_perm and admin/group_perm. I haven't
        been able to use it in admin/picture_modify because it seems
        impossible to have two instance of the same sub-template without
        interfering.

        * modification : bug 99, in profile manager, no auto submit when
        changing language (useless and generate accessibility problem).

        * improvement : HTML semantically correct for administration menu,
        simpler syntax, less tags, correct tags (dl/dt/dd instead of
        div/div).

        * modification : number of waiting elements and unvalidated
        comments are displayed in admin/intro instead of administration
        menu (with a link to the dedicated pages).

        * deletion : no link to profile from admin/user_list anymore (no
        need).

2005-08-16 Pierrick LE GALL

        * modification : admin/group_list screen completely rewrite to
        present the list of existing groups and a form to add a new
        group. Here you can delete a group, go to permissions management
        for a group, go to member list of a group (on admin/user_list with
        a filter on group).
        
        * modification : admin/user_perm and admin/group_perm are not
        directly reachable by the admin menu anymore. Only the user/group
        list lets you reach user/group permissions management screen.

2005-08-15 Pierrick LE GALL

        * new : introduction page to administration section. This page
        gives informations about PhpWebGallery version, PHP version, MySQL
        version, gallery database informations (number of categories,
        elements, users, comments). Ability to request phpwebgallery.net
        for upgrade.

        * deletion : of obsolete admin/admin_phpinfo.php page replaced by
        a link in introduction page.

2005-08-14 Pierrick LE GALL

        * modification : simplification of HTML/CSS code for double select
        screen to manage categories properties (admin/cat_options)

2005-08-14 Pierrick LE GALL

        * new : ability to set an element as representant of its category
        directly from picture.php screen.

        * improvement : dedicated icon to add elements into caddie. Ths
        icon is displayed in the category title bar.
        
2005-08-14 Pierrick LE GALL

        * new : maintenance screen in administration. There you can update
        categories informations (number of images, date of the last added
        element), update images informations (path, average rate), purge
        obsolete sessions, purge history.

        * new : ability to have random representative for categories. This
        configuration parameter is set to false by default.

        * new : ability to set an element as representative of a category
        without belonging to the category. Thus, administrator can choose
        representative even for empty categories.

        * improvement : semantically superior design for category edition
        screen by regrouping fields in fieldsets. The improved screen
        contains action buttons as in category list screen.

        * new : ability to move a virtual category (ie change its parent
        category).

        * bug fixed : the sync_users function checks all user children
        tables (access, cache, group association).

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.
        
2005-07-17 Pierrick LE GALL

        * 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)

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.

        * typo fixed : wrong block name closed in template

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