We asked and you responded! The needs of our users are key motivators for us, so given all of the very encouraging feedback from the Future of Gallery 1 story, we have decided to continue the development of Gallery 1 and release Gallery 1.6. Jens (aka Tim_j) and the whole Gallery team thank you for your continued support!

The next steps for Gallery 1.6 are a comprehensive security audit, followed by a release candidate. But before those can happen we need some help from you! Thus, this week is the Week of Gallery 1.6. During this week, we need your help picking through the latest pre-release of Gallery 1.6 to find bugs, inconsistencies, design issues and to notice any features you want to see that are missing. After trying to incorporate all of your feedback, the security audit will begin after which there will be no more major changes or features added. It's very important that you give your feedback now!

Please download the latest pre-release of 1.6 from Jens' archive and test it as much as you can. Post all the feedback you can provide in this Gallery 1.6 feedback thread so that the developers can respond to it and make Gallery 1.6 better for you. Thoughts about layout and design, bug reports, and any and all other comments are welcome!

A new and updated version of the Gallery Appliance has been made available. Thanks to the help of rPath, the new appliance includes Gallery 1.5.6 and Gallery 2.2.1.

Improvements include:

1. Updated Gallery 1 and Gallery 2 versions
2. More Gallery modules enabled, and Downloadable Plugins are also available.
3. SCSI emulation instead of IDE emulation makes it possible to run on VMWare ESX server.
4. rPath Appliance Platform (rAP) agent for remote appliance administration
5. Increased number of build types. The Appliance is now downloadable for several virtual and non-virtual environments

The Gallery VMware Appliance is a GNU/Linux distribution based on rPath Linux. Basically, it is a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) appliance with both Gallery 1 and Gallery 2 pre-installed and pre-configured, along with all of the required utilities and most of the optional ones. They are both pre-loaded with some random pictures from various Gallery team members so that you can test things out without even having to find your own images.

Go Download the appliance and be sure to check the documentation for more details.

The Gallery team would like to thank both Valentyn Khokhlov and Michael K. Johnson of rPath in assisting us rebuilding the Appliance for the new releases. The work done this time should make it easier for us to update it on our own the next time and the inclusion of the rAP agent makes it easier for all the appliance users to update their appliance later on.

A few months back we released a preview for Gallery 1.6. This contained many new features including access keys, a template system, captcha support, and group support but it also is a dramatic change in the code and layout handling. To this date we have received almost no feedback on these new features. Without any feedback, it is hard for us to know if it still makes sense for us to release Gallery 1.6, especially in light of the fact that it is significantly different from Gallery 1.5. Please read on!
