Hi Piwigo Team,

Many months have passed without changes on "master" (I have worked on many plugins but not on master). The goal is to release 2.8.0 before 2016. We don't need "many" new features, but we need to push a new release :-)

Work has already been done on 2.8:

* a clean logger (which is a technical feature, very useful for coders) by mistic

"big" features I plan to work on in priority:

* RAW support (and plugin system to handle more formats)
* new notification page (+auto authentication with URL)
* user manager, improvements (select mode, filters, update table when user updated, edit user in popin, remove "guest" from the list)

This is awesome. :) Just one question, what do you mean by auto authentication with URL?

Here is a summary of what was recently done:

* ready for supporting RAW files (actually, any file extension) thanks to a new trigger on upload [Github] Piwigo issue #293 the algorithm to create pwg_representative for a RAW is already written, by wsloand
* multiple format on sync (not yet on API/web upload) [Github] Piwigo issue #379
* notification emails will embed authentication keys [Github] Piwigo issue #392
* ability to notify a list of users (no need to have them in a group) on a specific album
* compatibility with PHP 7 [Github] Piwigo issue #385

I'll keep other new features for Piwigo 2.9 and I would like to release 2.8.0beta1 as soon as possible. Before that, I have to prepare a script to generate the release from several Git repos.

sounds good to me

Is PHP7 support a possibility?

hi team
are there features worth to  to highlight via the plugin Take A Tour? If yes I can help to do so

I have prepared the release notes http://piwigo.org/releases/2.8.0-draft (temporary link, of course). Feedback welcomed :-)

The 2.8.0 is very near. What I plan to do is the following:

0) update languages on master (any recommandation?)
1) git branch 2.8
2) git checkout 2.8
3) change default config:

$ svn diff -c29768

+ change the version to 2.8.0 in include/constants.php

4) git checkout master and change version to 2.9.0beta1

5) create tag 2.8.0 and create the release from it

Anything else?
