Zoph 0.9.10 released

25 Jan 2019 by jeroen

Here is the latest release of Zoph. For those who had hoped for a v1.0 after v0.9.9... I have to disappoint you as it has become v0.9.10. I still think Zoph is not ready to be v1.0 but we're moving closer and closer.

This version brings two new features, both of which were ideas from John Lines, one of them was even partly implemented by him. Thanks John!

The first new feature is the so called "location lookup". Sometimes, if you want to add a location to a photo or place, you may have looked it up through another site first, or there is already another photo or place at this location in Zoph. Wouldn't it be convenient if you could just copy and paste the results from the other site into Zoph? That's exactly what John thought and he implemented this for GPS coordinates and Open Street Map URLs. I've made some updates and added Open Location Codes ("Pluscodes") and the possibility to paste Zoph URLs.

John Lines also requested a change to the calendar page. He asked whether it would be possible to remove the links to the pages that have no photos. Anyone who has ever used the calender view in Zoph probably agrees that this was a good idea. Since the whole calendar page was a little bit outdated, I decided to implement his feature with some extras, I've added a more modern look, in line with how the other pages in Zoph look, and a random picture from each day as a thumbnail.

Furthermore, a bug was fixed and I removed some old code, that was needed to make a smooth switchover from the old password checking mechanism to a new one. Any user that has nog logged in to Zoph since you upgraded to v0.9.3, will no longer be able to do so. It is easily fixed by resetting their password as an admin user.
