Some good news and some bad news. First, the auto thumbnail thing doesn't look like it's going to work. Every single method I've investigated requires some additional packages installed, which I don't want to require. I may still try to add it in as an option for those who want to install the prerequisites.
The good news is that 4.0 Beta 2 is out. (http://perl.cdnarmy.ca/album) Ironically, I've had less bug reports with the 4.0 beta than I did with most other releases!
New in Beta 2:
Removed ubb_auth config item, and replaced it with upload_authentication_type config item. The new item allows you to set anonymous (0), flatfile (1) or UBB (2) authentication types, and also allows future types to be added.
Added ``Stop Entering Descriptions'' checkbox
Added thmb_movie.gif image and movie_icon and file_movie_icon config items. Movies now have their own generic icon.
When photos or albums do not have a description defined, the entire path is no longer used as a default. (Just the photo file name or album directory name.) Makes things a little cleaner.
I haven't added the control panel stuff yet, as I haven't had enough contiguous time to tackle a big job like that. I plan on putting it in 4.0 final though.
Cheers
