Welcome to the Community Update Project for Gallery 2, a web based software product that lets you manage your photos on your own website. This effort aims towards the development of community backed updates to Gallery 2.
Official development of Gallery 2 has stopped in favour of Gallery v3 but as Gallery v3 never really quite got to the same level, Gallery 2 remained for many, in testament to the work of the development team, the most powerful, most fully featured and most flexible and agile choice.
In any case, development of Gallery v3 soon came to a halt and with that, an end to the Official Gallery Project. The aim of this effort is to add enhancements and fixes to the Gallery 2 code so that its several loyal fans can continue using this awesome piece of software engineering.
You can choose from one of the following branches:
- Master Branch - This branch contains the latest stable code and is always deployable. Relatively few updates, features or bug fixes will have been applied and it will be the closest branch to the last official release by the Gallery Project Team. The current issued fileset can be DOWNLOADED HERE.
- Dev Branch - This branch contains the latest semi-stable code and is normally deployable. Users are encouraged to install and implement code from this branch to help drive development forward with their feedback. This branch is never formally "issued" but the current fileset can be DOWNLOADED HERE.
- Other Branches - These contain ongoing work streams which may, or may not, be deployable.
