You can download the new version from sourceforge  at Sourceforge. Read How To Migrate for migration help.

Here are the improvements since 2.1.2

• Bread Crumb Search The search term is splitted into single search bread crumbs. The search crumbs simplifies the customization of the search
• Fast preview file responder Now the images are loaded faster and are fast as hell. It by-passes the MVC CakePHP framework stack based on the HTTP session
• Translations Added Estonian (Craig), Polish (Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo), Italian (Francesco Piraneo G) translation
• Mobile Device Support If your are open the gallery with your mobile device a new customized mobile theme is loaded automatically.
• Email Notification Add email notification for new media which could be triggered by cron job. The notification interval could be set from half an hour to once a month
• Improved Group Handing The creation and managing of groups is simplified which makes the gallery more social. Try it!
• SMTP Configuration You can now configure your own SMTP configuration in app/config/core.php to enable email functionality to your web gallery
• Improved the preview manager. Now a preview might depend on the next larger preview and a preview is not always calculated by the original file which saves a lot of time for smaller previews.
• Add interval search in the explorer. If you already set a time limit of your search you can easily add another time bound for an interval search.
• View media based on upload path
• Add sync shell task to sync all media at once (console based)
• Add fallback of image size. In rare cases the image size could not extracted correcly. Now getimagesize() should fix this gap.
• Auto completion for tag, category, and location – also in bread crumbs.
• And lots of bug fixes…

The next release should get a face lift with a backend and easy customizable frontend – besides tagging, sharing and searching improvements

Stay tuned!

The next big improvement is the quick search which covers sub word. The quick search of ‘ice‘ returns also media with tags of ‘slice‘ or ‘rice‘.

phTagr is build on top of the MVC framework CakePHP and uses now CakePHP 1.3 instead of CakePHP 1.2. You have to upgrade your CakePHP if you use SVN trunk. See How To Migrate Phtagr for more details.

An admin user can now see the access level of other users and can change these. This feature was requested to handle private or malicious media.

phTagr supports now Dutch as new language – Thanks to Remy Wetzels. See also How To Translate.
