Skins should no longer have to supply a folder. Jalbum preferences now broken up into sections to improve overview Jalbum's slide show now supports multiple screens - opens the slide show on the same screen as the Jalbum window currently resides onīetter looking text area font on Windows Vista (from Courier to Arial) Jalbum's classic text filter (and subclasses thereof, like Watermark filter) now supports angles so text can be rotated Image tool API cleaned up (the image tools are still in beta though) jaskin files for easy sharing with the Jalbum community Jalbum's 'Skin developer' plugin - JTextPad now also packs skins to. Jalbum's system console window and text editor JTextPad are no longer blocked from input during album generation Jalbum's File menu now has an 'Import album settings' feature that makes it easy to make a new album using the settings from a previously created album project Instant album deletes: On servers that support this (our hosting soon will), published albums can now be deleted in a fraction of a second, no matter their size. We've seen between 2 and 10 times faster uploads! The longer the 'ping time' between Jalbum and the server, the more the benefit. Apart from the size reduction, this significantly cuts publishing time for albums containing many small files as all files are passed in one 'zip stream' instead of being negotiated one by one between Jalbum and the server. Introducing zipstream publishing! On servers that supports this (our hosting soon will), Jalbum now zips an album as it publishes it and the server unzips at the same time. If it won't fit, the 'ok' button is greyed out. Finally this version is pretty good at estimating if the album to be published will fit or not. Also, files that have been deleted locally are now safely deleted on the server before publishing new and changed files. This comparison doesn't suffer from any time difference issues like the previous scheme did. Tight publishing: Jalbum now compares what needs to be published in a fraction of the earlier time. Jalbum will now make a quick 'Make changes' up to 25 images - max, followed by launching the browser for preview. Try pressing F3 after making any change to an album (skin change, style change etc). With this release I've also added a plugin that does a 'quick and dirty' preview of albums.

Smooth image scaling is now twice as fast and should be at least as good as before.
