Turtle 2.3.0

New:
- French translation has updated thanks to Danamel

Fixed:
- Gray style's gradient broken on IE
- Shipping cost incorrectly added in some cases

2.2.0 Notes:

New features:
- You can control what will happen after moving beyond the last frame: "Nothing", "Start over", "Go one level up", "Go back to index page" or "Ask the user"

Fixed:
- The "New" indicator was not working with only folders in an album
- Share button was showing all the share options (not only the selected ones) with albums containing only folders
- Paypal "View cart" button reported something's wrong with the user's site
- extra 20px gap above thumbnails when there were no folders
- Gray style's gradient was too dark on IE7-8

Changed:
- The minimum width for the Folder name has been set to 100px (70px before) so the skin will automatically switch to the "thumbnail above, text below" mode if less space has left next to the thumbnail (raise the number of columns - Settings / Pages / Columns - to see)

New feature:
- Stick control bar to top (for those preferred Turtle 1.x's control bar placed on the screen top)

Fixed:
- Paypal's shipping fee hasn't been added

Fixed:
- Google Maps did not work in some cases
- thumbnail scroller has an extra 40px left margin
- .stop() on undefined element javascript error
- the header's bottom rounding is rough and visible on FireFox

Fixed:
- Thumbnails did not show up on the first view but worked fine after a refresh (a timing issue)

(Also click "Show All" to see how to fix "Internal Error 500" if you made an album with Turtle 2.1.7 and hosted on a server not based on Apache)

Modified:
- Removed .htaccess file from the skin, because it didn't work with all servers, and possibly could overwrite the user's own, previously added one. Those who experience "Internal Error 500" errors on their server don't need to regenerate the album however, just go into the "Upload / Manage" (Ctrl-M), Connect, click the wrench icon, and remove .htaccess file from the problem folder.

Info: .htaccess file was added in order to define the correct mime types (file handling by type) and to fine tune caching by file type. (E.g. JPG files can remain in the cache for longer times, while HTML files need to skip the cache.)

Upgraded:
- jQuery to 1.7.1
- HTML boilerplate to 2.0

Fixed:
- Theme image is now stretched to fit the Title area
- Text color remained black on old Turtle 1.x albums when upgraded to 1.x (you should re-select the Black style to avoid this, but now the skin itself fixes it too)
- No centering on IE7 and 8 when border width was set 0
- Javascript error on IE7 and 8 (in jQuery)

Fixed:
- Popups left on by mistake on mobile devices
- Wrong formatted encoded quote characters
- Fixed some validation errors. Now it validates as HTML5 (experimental), besides Meta tags required by Facebook share and Google +1 call code
- Google +1 button did not work in some cases

Updated:
- Italian translation by Giovanni D'Amico

New features:
- You can use metadata in Caption templates, e.g. ${Iptc.City}

Fixed:
- Disappearing thumbnail captions when moving the mouse fast
- Memory leak related to thumbnail captions
- Facebook share button works again: Read the announcement in the Turtle forum

New features:
- You can use jAlbum variables in the header and footer boxes, e.g. ${resPath}
- Download hint (Right click + Save link as...) added for the "Original" button

Fixed:
- Broken album when using apostrophe character in folder names (with URL encoding turned off)
- <b> <strong> <i> and <em> tags did not take effect in the comments

New feature:
- Sharing options on the Info panel too. Please note, that not all sharing sites support links with hash, which is used by Turtle skin to link directly to the actual image. Even though Facebook will link to the actual image, it takes its thumbnail from the static page, that is it will use the Theme image, not the actual.

Fixed:
- Albums with "Link to original" used the high resolution images as thumbnail, resulting in slow page loads
- With transition type "Crossfade" the Zoom-in effect took place while in "Fit to screen" mode, causing slower transitions
- Better reference to album thumbnail that Facebook will like more, hopefully

New feature:
- Better touch control on Android devices

Updated:
- Italian translation by Giovanni D'Amico
- Finnish translation by Pentti Stenman
- French translation by Danamel
(The language updates were missing from the bundled version came with jAlbum 10.1, so install this version if you are using the languages above.)

Fixed:
- Background image is centered instead of stretched in FireFox 3.5 & 3.6
- Some styles had texts hard to read

New feature:

- Header and footer can be disabled on the sub pages

Fixed:
- Header content got lost after viewing it the first time
- Swipe gestures work now on Android devices

New features:
- Added transition type: None (for the purists)
- You can add Header and Footer through the user interface
- Added option for displaying the folder description and image count along the folder thumbnails

Fixed:
- Audio loop didn't work
- Map did not work when the image caption template was empty
- Broken cross-fade transition (temporary blackout) on FireFox 5-7, due to a bug in FireFox's rendering engine
- Text color did not work on some places resulting in hard to read texts

Changed:
- The help button has been moved from the theme image area to the footer. No UI option for hiding it, as it's now hidden enough to bother anybody, I hope.

New:
- Control for transition type (Cross fade and Cross fade + zoom currently) and speed on the Advanced panel

Fixed:
- The second file of background audio did not play (if added as album file).
- Changed transition step interval on touch devices for a smoother transition

- Google Checkout Shopping cart is implemented besides Paypal (no overall handling is available yet)

UPGRADING FROM TURTLE 1.x ALBUM PROJECTS

Using Black or White stlyes, please re-select the style (not the skin), to allow the new background and text color settings be set. Without this you might end up in unreadable text.

The following settings need attention when opening old projects, because they will be reset to their default values (in parentheses):

- Splash size (Image width x Image height * 0.66)
- Reduce Thumbs (2 / 3)
- Facebook Like button (no)
- Show photo data (no)

These changes were necessary because the skin's code was now rewritten to work with other upcoming skins.

The Location and Shop option data added manually in the Edit mode has changed names too, but you can apply the Tools / External Tools / Rename Slide Variables tool with the following parameters to keep them working in the new version:
- _location = location
- _shopOptions = shopOptions

This change was necessary because jAlbum app has changed its handling of slide variables.

Besides the above changes the BlackBlue and BlackRed styles were removed, though tons of new styles were added at the same time.

The Shopping cart feature is only available for Premium or Power account holders and those who've bough the Pro license. Jalbum.net's past donators will also receive the Pro licence.

Bugs fixed:
- "Method insert( int, java.lang.String ) not found"

Changed:
- Direct photo links changed from picture number to photo name, in order to keep links pointing to the same photo even after adding new ones. Read more about this change in the Turtle forum, see "Internal links have changed using the filename instead of picture number!" sticky

Fixed:
- Album thumbnails now shows up on community sites like Facebook. Works with sharing from the album list, the Share widget and straight from the Turtle albums
- Empty page beyond "Splash depth level" and "Auto start" is off

New features:
- Slideshow automatically starts when requested and no folders found in the current album level (previously it was working only when the page was beyond the Splash depth level)
- Handling the new "hiRes" images (resized to cca. 3 MPx)
- Keyboard is enabled on the popup window (Where to go next?)

Changed:
- Wider window for the facebook 'Like' button to have enough space for the translated versions

Fixed:
- In certain HTML caption templates while the skin tried to remove the empty HTML constructs it removed important tags too. Was no problem with the default template though.

New features:
- Google Analytics code automatically inserted if you add the Site ID on the Turtle settings panel
- Option to disable mouse wheel navigation (can be useful when embedding the album into another page)
- Added Right click protection option
- Updated Korean translation

Fixed:
- Empty HTML tags now got stripped from captions (in case of empty comments, etc.)

- Fixed jQuery 1.4.4 (the underlying javascript library) to handle the thumbnail scroller properly. Also the animations supposed to run smoother.

*** I have introduced a new bug, which is just a wrong letter case in a file name, so it's not a new version just a minor change. Please install the skin again if you've downloaded it before 2010-11-15 02:00 AM CET. Sorry guys! ***

This version is to fix the unpredictably moving top thumbnail scroller which got broken by a bug in the updated underlying jQuery library. The problem only appears beyond cca. 80 images.

New features:
- You can skip the modal window at the last frame asking "What to do next?"

Fixes:
- Google map didn't appear due to a new behavior (bug) in the underlying jQuery javascript library, which resulted in 0x0 px map area
- The thumbnail scroller above the images behaved strangely after adding the 2px gap between the thumbs

New features:
- Ability to apply filters to the splash (folder) image. Add filter / Generate album / Turn off 'Synchronize output directory' / Generate again. Voila.

Fixed:
- Better handling of proportionally sized (not fixed) thumbnails in most of the browsers.

Changed:
- Album info line backlinks

New:
- French translation thanks to Eyael
- Singe click on photos takes to the next one

New:
- Updated Swedish translation

Bugfix:
- Space in folder name caused a broken link in twitter posts (a twitter bug). Circumvented by adding the link "manually".

New features:
- Twitter 'Tweet' button
- Finnish language thanks to Pentti Stenman
- Border can be added to images with customizable width and color
- You can use meta variables in the caption templates too, e.g. ${Iptc.By-line} or ${Windows XP Title}

Bugs fixed:

New feature:
- Folders are also marked as 'New' when you use this feature

Bugs fixed:
- IE8 users might received a Javascript error: the underlying jQuery.js library need to be updated to 1.4.2
- Hitting the 'Up' arrow from the top level page opened the link in the same frame. Now it is redirected to the the parent level. This is useful for those embedding the album in an iframe.
- Opening a page might result in a black screen

New features:
- In slideshow mode when you navigate to a page with FLV or MP4 video, the slideshow is suspended while playing the video and resumed reaching the end. Unfortunately this feature is not yet possible with other video formats - the slideshow simply stops there

Bugs fixed:
- The color of the links in the comments now match the Design panel setting

- The link from the top level now says: 'Back to home' instead of 'Up one level'
- Added Czech translation
- Commenting widget now works on the individual pictures too
- Video player is upgraded to 5.2.1065

Bugs fixed
- Scroller area sometimes got unscrollable
- Audio player didn't play the songs having international characters in filename
- Keyboard navigation is now disabled while the visitor is in an INPUT field (the arrows and space key navigated away from the current image)
- Jalbum's language variable was used the wrong way, thus the HTML header got wrong 'lang' attribute
- Apostrophe in folder name broke the page

New feature:
- You can reach both help screens from the splash and image pages as well.

Version 1.2.1 was a faulty release, because the backup software mixed up the files... Please download the current version.

A silent release was made in order to set the 'Automatic widget code injection' setting to true, which was set to false by mistake in the version 1.2.2 before 2010-05-17 12:00PM
