Data Circle

The photograph album software popular with many sites has now reached version 2.0. There’s been quite a lot of changes since version 1 and an awful lot of security holes have been patched so if you’re still running the previous version now is probably the time to upgrade.

From a personal viewpoint, I’ve never really been Gallery’s biggest fan – partially because of the number of security holes it has seen over the years and also because I’ve looked at the source code and it’s nasty. It really does look like something that I might have hacked together after coming home from the pub with one too many pints in my system. We’ve used it at work and it does the job (thankfully customising the stylesheets wasn’t too difficult, although there was an awful lot of redundant styles that either weren’t being used or could be merged together) but I think if I ever restore my photos to their rightful place on Rixort I’ll probably cobble together my own script instead.
