phpGraphy hasn't evolved much lately but our lifes have... and spare time has been highly reduced...
As I write these lines, oniryx has been father of a little boy for the second time, congratulations to him and his wife !
What so ever, we're still planning to release a 1.0 some day and this last 0.9.x release is a proof that we'll be. Forcoming changes in the dev repository will probably break the database compatibility that we where able to provide until then, so be careful for those that are the dev release !
Last news is kind of old but we're still there ! Actually, we've been enjoying a real summer break but are decided to get back to work asap. Firstly we'll try to work on the fixes of bugs that have been reported since the last stable is out and then the big step forward, phpGraphy 1.0 !
While browsing using my favorite search engine, I came across an exploit for phpGraphy 0.9.12. After some investigation I came to the conclusion that this exploit uses was using a flaw in PHP itself not in phpGraphy, however the result is the same, people using phpGraphy along with unpatched PHP versions are vulnerable ! Please UPGRADE *asap* to the latest PHP and/or phpGraphy versions, this exploit is serious and might lead the attacker to gain control over your webserver.
I'm proud to announce phpGgraphy 0.9.13, the latest major number of the 0.9.x family. This version is a minor enhancement over the release candidate 1 but 0.9.12 users might want to have a closer look to see if there is any cool feature they want on their site like RSS feeds, video thumbnails etc.
We'll now be working on the next 1.0 release that should include a bunch of new exciting features like a search engine, statistics, etc. It'll also be the first phpGraphy release to break the database structure backward compatibility but evolution has a price !
We'll be waiting for your feedback on this release, so please, take some time to do so.
After a long, long waiting period, we've finally made it, the first release candidate of the 0.9.13 release is out ! With this release come some new exiting features like RSS Feeds, Video Thumbnails, a "direct URLs" mode and much more. Please read the Changelog for the full list of changes.
Please report any bugs or weird behavior on our development site (https://trac.phpgraphy.org).
Summer is now over, no more excuses not to code anymore :) Oniryx and I have finished to sort out the roadmap (https://trac.phpgraphy.org/trac/roadmap) for the next release (0.9.13) - Main features are: RSS Flow for the lastcommented/toprated/lastadded pages, thumbnails for videos, ability to move/rename directories and files and internationalization of the error messages.
This release is going to be the last one before the 1.0 branch, basically before we make some changes to the database structure which is getting a bit old since there hasn't be any change on it since release 0.9.6 back in 2001 :)
People that do want to help with the testing are more than welcome, meet us on irc, see our contact page for details.
It has been a long time since the last post here, don't worry we're still alive but just taking a summer break. We'll go back into the code at the beginning of September with hopefully a new release soon after !
After a long easter week-end full of chocolate, you can now enjoy the latest features of phpGraphy (Templates, Slideshow, Square thumbs) bundled along with this stable release. A security hole was also reported yesterday, it has been fixed in this release and ALL users are asked to upgrade ASAP ! To conclude, I would like to dedicate this release to Arthur, Oniryx's son which is born the 1st of April 2006, Long life to the King ! :)
Wanna try the template system ? The slideshow mode ? Square thumbs ? Everybody is more than welcome to try this first release candidate of 0.9.12 - We *need* your help and feedback to confirm that it is stable and fully working. Please use the ticket system of the development site (https://trac.phpgraphy.org) and not the Help forum as this is not a stable release.
It has been a long time since I didn't post any news here, for people that want to follow-up closer to the development process, don't forget our Development Site (https://trac.phpgraphy.org). About the 0.9.12-rc1, it should be out before the end of the week, with as promised the expected template engine and also the slideshow mode. Stay tuned !
