It is good to see version 2.4 released - I joined Piwigo recently, hoping to use the new features and I can't wait to see it available on Piwigo.com.
I think the Multi-size feature, which I first saw in SmugMug, is a great aspect as it gives users (viewers) control and I am interested to try the Mobile Theme likewise. In this context, the customer is king.
I am pleased that Piwigo 2.4 can imprint photos with watermarks - indeed it is a feature highly anticipated by professional photographers. I think this should be highlighted on the front page of Piwigo.org under "Features you'll love".
Well done, Piwigo team.

If you have a large number of custom size settings, or panoramas using the paMOOramics plugin, hold of on upgrading. There are some issues related to the remote hosting of image files. It is not really possible to disable the multiple size setting.

I did a fresh install of V2.4 to a new database.
When I try to run the Edit_GMaps plugin it does not work.
One of the errors reported is
Warning: [mysql error 1054] Unknown column 'tn_ext' in 'field list'
SELECT id,tn_ext,name,path,file,lat,lon,alt FROM piwigo_images
WHERE id IN (1,2,3)
ORDER BY date_available DESC, file ASC, id ASC
LIMIT 0, 20
; in /home/public_html/domain.com/piwigo/include/dblayer/functions_mysql.inc.php on line 770
When I check the database the column 'tn_ext' is indeed missing whereas it was in the database created by RC3.
UPDATE:
I removed the reference to 'tn_ext' and now all errors have disappeared when using the plugin and it 'appears' to be working.
However I still have not had a response to my query about the plugin posted here
