Next release will probably be june 5th june 14 (sorry, to much work to do). Then XodaGallery will be usefull again I think, and others will be invited to join development - and development pace will quicken up I think.

Well, there will be so much changes that I’m thinking of naming the next version to 0.3a instead of 0.2.5

All administrations interface and functions will be new. It will be more secure (I hope, but I’m glad if you help me to check that) and more pretty by using the silky icons from www.famfamfam.com. At the moment it looks something like this:

This is not added to svn yet, so dont bother checkout.

For people like me who likes to run photoblogs, the next version of XodaGallery will be able to ping webservices.

It will also be able to read and present EXIF-data from uploaded images.

I have recently swtiched main system to Mac OS X (I also use Ubuntu Linux a lot). First things first, I needed to choose texteditor. My criteria on the basic texteditor is quite simple

• Good syntax highlighting for my languages (PHP, SQL, HTML, CSS, Javscript)
• Snippets of some kind (I want it to be easy to reuse code).
• Possibility (but not mandatory) to group files in projects
• Set encoding as UTF-8 and change end of line.
• A nice search and replace
• Line-numbering

I now run Smultron and Eclipse+PDT, they are both free and very good. I also liked skEdit and Textmate among others, but Smultron has so many features and Eclipse+PDT is so good with objectoriented code (but I will probably donate later on) and they are both FREE. But I have to say it was not easy to choose, there were many good options.

Here are some links to editors on Mac, why not try them and give your opinion?

Texteditors on Mac OS X

• Smultron
• Eclipse PDT
• BBEdit
• TextWrangler
• TextMate
• skEdit

This list is also maintained in the developer part of the XodaGallery wiki, along with Windows and Linux editors. Feel free to suggest additions.

Well, i’m getting started with this again. Working on a new version of XodaGallery (the old one feels… old and lacking in features to say the least), but there is also a lot of updates to this website…

• New wiki (DokuWiki)
• New forum (Vanilla)
• This blog updated to Wordpress 2.5.1 with lots new plugins

“Why is this important?”, you might ask yourself. Because as soon as I get the preview of version 2.5 out there I will invite others to join this project.
