Lazyest Gallery 1.1 beta 1
Lazyest Gallery 1.1 beta 1 is now ready for download at the WordPress Plugin Directory. It took about three months to reach the beta stage. A lot of features have been added, the gallery has been optimized for speed, and some radical changes have been made in the frontend, the admin, and the back-end.
Large Galleries
Loading of large galleries with many sub-folders and images is painstakingly slow in the lazyest gallery admin pages. To accommodate this, a new option 'large gallery' has been added. By selecting this option, all features decreasing the loading speed will be disabled.
Descriptions in thumbnail view
One thing we have forgotten in Lazyest Gallery version 1.0, is the option to display folder and image descriptions in thumbnail view. This has been enabled in version 1.0.2.
Permalinks could not be activated for Lazyest Gallery when wordpress is installed in a subdirectory. A bug in the rewrite rules caused 404 - page not found errors. This bug has been fixed.
Download version 1.0.2 from the WordPress plugin directory or use the plugin update function in your blog Admin.
One week to go
Lazyest Gallery 1.0 release candidate has been tested extensively. We can no longer find bugs.
The release date for version 1.0 has been set for September 24th.
The coming week is for you to report the bugs we couldn't find.
The latest release is 1.0-rc4 1.0-rc5 1.0-RTM. Download it from the WordPress plugin directory.
We are running Lazyest Gallery 1.0-rc3
Update: Release candidate 3 is out now!
Release candidate 3 is ready ready for download at the WordPress plugin directory. We have enough confidence to run this version here. Try the new search feture by searching for e.g folder in the search bar. You'll see the gallery search results appended to the WordPress search results.
