Still on Drupal 7? Security support for Drupal 7 ended on 5 January 2025. Please visit our Drupal 7 End of Life resources page to review all of your options.
This is the third BETA release of the new 5.x-2.x series. The new gallery module has some excellent new features and provides a major overhaul of the UI and the underlying code. Its quite stable but still needs testing. Please backup your database before use and report any issues to the Issues tracker.
There were no major bugs reported for beta1 :) The beta2 release introduced a bug (undefined function) for php4 otherwise only some smaller fixes, cosmetic changes and cleanup (small scale refactoring) went into beta3. Please people put this through its paces and find bugs, so that we can have a solid release candidate soon.
New feature available with the 5.x-2.x series:
More powerful user/role sync, including the ability to bulk import/sync. Can also import Gallery2 users into Drupal
Support for Google (XML) Sitemaps
Full support for G2.2 (including the ability to have different size images -- not just the thumbnail)
More sidebar control (including ability to move admin sidebar into a Drupal block)
Multiple image/grid blocks support
Improved search, with advanced search capability
Automatically gets the image frame options from Gallery2
Improvements include: write-in support, refactoring of the date/runtime functionality, permissions overhaul (requires that they be reassigned to the relevant roles), per-content type settings, massive code cleanup, and various other bug fixes and usability improvements.
Minor bugs fixed (also thanks to Michał Albrecht).
Bug fix for image paths in Drupals installed in subfolders ( problem identified by fuzzion in http://drupal.org/node/176939#comment-308093 ).
