Zoph 0.8 is available on the Sourceforge site. Compared to v0.8pre3, a small bug regarding timezone support in PHP 5.1 has been fixed.
Compared to v0.7, which was released in July 2007, the list of improvements is almost endless. Due to the new release model, that I adopted after v0.7, all the new features have already been made available in feature releases 0.7.1 to 0.7.5. I would like to thank all the people who have tried these feature releases and have reported the problems they found!
The most important new features in v0.8, compared to v0.7 are:
Downloading a set of photo's in a ZIP file
Admin page as a central place for managing your Zoph installation
Pages feature, that allows you to customize the 'front page' of an album, category, person or place.
Mapping support using Mapstraction, which will allow you to display the location of a photo or place on a map from Google Maps, Yahoo Maps or Open Streetmap. Thanks to Mapstraction it would be easy to add other mapping providers.
Timezone support. It is no longer necessary to set the correct time on your camera, simply leave it on your home timezone and let Zoph do the calculation
Group access rights: you can now group your users and no longer have to give access rights to each user individually.
Save search results: You can now save search results to have easy access to a specific set of photos. If you're an admin user, you can even share them with other users.
Various improvements to:
Watermarking: more configuration options
Automatic thumbnails for albums, categories and places.
Comments: markup, smileys and easy overview of comments by a user
Performance: various improvements to Zoph performance, especially with large databases.
Ratings: overview of ratings per user and possibility to allow a user to rate multiple times (for shared user accounts)
