Blah, As many have been waiting on, then the biggest release of KalleLoad is on the end to be released. Currently Im finishing off some of the last components in the Control Panel core before its ready.
 
What I need to do before Im done:
  • Save / Update settings
  • Settings Template is not using phrases, so I have to convert it all into phrases
  • "Updating All" services doesn't have a good UI so needs to be fixed
  • Orphan files is not displayed correctly
Its not that much so expect it very very soon =), so why have the development of this release taken so long, and what have been improved?
  • Added the basic new control panel with improved features compared to the old version in the 1.4 series.
  • Added new image watermark / thumbnail support (XPM, GD, GD2, TGA (read only) & BMP (read only))
  • Added alot of internal functions for user, data, settings ect. management
  • Added XML Parsing support (PHP5 only (currently)!)
  • Fixed PHP4 startup errors (Seems to have been there since Beta 1)
  • Fixed error on not sending database error email (Seems to have een there since Beta 1)
  • Fixed possible XSS in 'index.php'
  • Fixed major bug on show/hide javascript
  • Fixed WBMP support named XBMP
  • Removed 'KalleLoad_Template::allocate_default_vars()' method (this is now build into '/includes/construct.php')
  • Removed the 'NO_IMAGE_SUPPORT' magic constant (Each file that requires image support are required to load the image class)
  • Removed the 'white_buttons' style
Thats just out of 113 (as of writing that has been completed), I will try post more updates once I make them here, you can also follow updates from the KalleLoad thread on ClanTemplates at:

Ive also been thinking of putting up a public bug tracker and maybe discussing forum once the final 1.5 package is released. For those whos not following the update tree which ive posted in parts in the KalleLoad thread, then here it is for 1.5:
  • Beta 1 - Watermarking
  • Beta 2 - Thumbnailing
  • Beta 3 - Templating
  • Beta 4 - Language System
  • Beta 5 - Control Panel
  • Release Candidate 1 - Installer + More control panel components
  • Release Candidate 2 - Upgrade system (1.4, 1.4.1 & 1.4.2) + More control panel components
  • Final - Repair tools + Last improvements
The ones marked with bold means they have been released, and the one with italic means its currently in the process of development.
 
KalleLoad 1.6 - KalleLoad 1.7
As some people might have heard me talk about on messenger, then ive official annouce the future versions of KalleLoad. Currently only the "New feature" as each major KalleLoad release contains.
 
KalleLoad 1.6 will contain a user system where public users can register and gain access to a public gallery or create private galleries with password protection.
 
KalleLoad 1.7 will contain a crop feature and some improved image creation and manipulation functions like "Resize image to thumbnail size AxB".
 
 
Hope this was interesting, check back later for updates on the development of KalleLoad ;)
