BINS Change Log                                       -*- text -*-

BINS 1.1.29
-----------

- A search engine has been added. It only woks on web browser
supporting javascript and DOM. It can be deactivated via the new
searchEngine parameter. It allows search on image description fields
set in the new searchFields parameter. Maximum results returned by the
search engine is set by the searchLimit parameter.
This adds a new dependency on Text::Unaccent.

- Michael Olson's mwolson templates have been added. Michael can be
joined at <mwolson @ member.fsf.org>.

- Martin Pohlack's martin templates have been added. Martin can be
joined at <mp26 @ os.inf.tu-dresden.de>. These templates are based
upon marc ones, in turn based on joi. Here are the modifications with
marc:
   - fixed some bugs in the css
   - more layout stuff done in css
   - changed colors to grey-levels, which allows the viewer to
     concentrate on the important parts, the images (if you don't like
     it, you only have to change some lines in the css).
   - some layout changes, links (next, prev, ...) have a fixed
     position now, so you don't have to move the mouse if you want to
     cycle through many images.
   - use transparent pngs for the slide background in browser which
     support it -> smoother slide corners (round corners are
     oversampled, compare the gif and the png)
   - Display the content of the jpeg-comment filed below the image

- Fixed a bug when javaScriptPreloadImage was set to 1 : the next image
preloaded was always at maximum size.
Patch from Malcolm Parsons <malcolm.parsons @ gmail.com>

custom order. This is done via an optional file album.list (a slibling
file to album.xml) that lists the files in the order you want them
displayed. If album.list doesn't exist in a directory the sorting by
image name is done as usual.

BINS 1.1.24
-----------

- Added anti_bins program, to create a clean image files tree for each
image size from a BINS album.

- Added jpegProgressify config option. Now, generated jpeg can be
progressive (instead of baseline) using jpegtran.  Usually progressive
jpegs save space, but by default it only makes them progressive if it
does save space. See bins man page for usage detail.
Patch from Bill Clarke <llib @ computer.org>.

- When backgroundImage was empty, the background attribute on body was
not correct and thus produced 404 HTTP error on web server.
patch from David Pfitzner <dwpfitzner @ earthlink.net>.

- Use the more generic AddDefaultCharset directive (instead of
AddType) in the .htaccess file for setting HTTP headers encoding.

- Corrected wrong orientation for value 3 (bot_right, 180? rotation).

http://kashmir.sautret.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/bins
	
BINS 1.1.23
-----------

- new parameter 'deExifyImages' which performs a Profile("*") call
just before the resizing. This removes all Exif information in resized
pictures and thus, saves some disk spaces and network
consumption. This is specially noticeable on thumbnails an images list
pages.
Patch from Leo Breebaart <leo @ lspace.org>.

- the "Unknown discipline ':utf8'" bug in Perl versions older than
5.8.0 has been corrected.

- images were sometimes copied even if they were identical. This has
been corrected and thus, runtime speed has been improved (about 15-20% on my
album without regenerating images).
Patch from Stuffed Crust <pizza @ shaftnet.org>.

- the ' (quote) character was not correctly encoded in URL.
Reported by Benjamin Wilbur <benpublic @ xwilbur.com>.

- corrects a bug where descriptions containing a ' (quote) were used
in javascript (like information popup window in joi templates).

Thanks to Eelco Maljaars <e.maljaars @ scouting.nl>

	
BINS 1.1.21
-----------

- PNG images can now be used directly in the album (even if then are
still renamed to .jpg...).

- File timestamps are now preserved when they are copied in the gallery.

- bins_cleanupgallery script has been added. Use it to remove any unused
file in your HTML galleries. Run it without argument for usage
information. Note that this script is still experimental, so if it
performs wrong, just re-run bins to recreate erased files.
This program was written by Jochen Schaeuble <psionic @ psionic.de>.
	
- default templates has been updated as follow : 

  * link element was added in default templates to enable Mozilla's link
  prefetching feature and site navigation toolbar.
  (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/Link_Prefetching_FAQ.html)
  Patch from Chris Croome.

  * a width problem was corrected in the "In this album" column and
  the overall display now uses 90% of the screen.
  Patch from Migrec.

  * imagePageCycling option now works in default templates.
  Bug reported by Migrec.

  * the full width of the browserwindow is used; the width of the
    navigationbar is set to a fixed width

  * more colors and mouse-over-highlights

    customStyleSheet, works like the backgroundImage-option)

  * initial support for video, the number of media files is displayed
    along with the number of images and subalbums

  * the Mozilla next/previous-buttons-navigation-collapse-bug is
    fixed

  Note there are still some known problems with this version of the
  joi templates :
  * Konqueror displays the lower info-popup wrong
  * Opera has problems with all (?) mouseover-popups

- A mailing-list about BINS has been set up, thanks to Chris Croome.
See http://www.email-lists.org/mailman/listinfo/bins for information.

BINS 1.1.20
-----------

Thanks to Chris Chau <chris @ moodofblue.net>

- es.mo (spanish messages file) was not included in the archive.

BINS 1.1.18
-----------

- joi templates has been updated by Joachim Kohlhammer :
  * The Albumtree works now correctly, even the thumbnail for the
    root-album works, i.e. no more broken images.
  * New icon for the albumtree.
  * Redesign of the image-view. The icons moved to the left border.
  * Leave was renamed to Home; the variable in the template is now called
    HOME_LINK. The icon was changed to a little house. The old icon is
    still included.
  * If the option pathImgNum is set, the image-view shows
    (Image/Imagecount) in the path.
  * The path contains a icon for each level (corresponding to the type of
    the level (albumtree, album, image)) if the variable pathShowIcon is
    set to 1.
  * In the Thumbnailview the bar with the next/prev-buttons shows only if
    there are two or more pages. If the bar shows, it now has a grey
    background.
  * The "cycling" of the thumbnailpages and the imageviews can be disabled
    by setting the options thumbnailPageCycling and imagePageCycling to 1.

- If only one Thumbnailpage exists, the navigation bar shows
"Thumbnail Page" instead of "Thumbnail Page 1".
(from Joachim Kohlhammer's patch)

- select LATIN1 as default encoding on systems lacking the locale
command (like *BSD systems)
(patch from Dan <mcmahill at mtl.mit.edu>).

- added new parameter emptyAlbumDesc to get rid of the "No long/short
description available" message if no description was set.

(templates and patch by Joachim Kohlhammer).

- Russian translation has been updated.
(thanks to Andrei Emeltchenko).

BINS 1.1.16
-----------

- static elements (icons, css, javascript, etc.) can now be used by
the templates, by using a static subdir in the templates directory
(see the joi templates).

- joi templates has been added. It uses icons, css and javascript. See
http://album.sautret.org/300_lieux/500_Paris/index.html for an example
applied on some of the sub-albums of my main album. You can use it
with the templateStyle parameter in the binsrc or album.xml, or with
the -s command line parameter (see bins(1) man page).
(templates and patch by Joachim Kohlhammer).

- new parameter homeURL has been added to link your home page to the
Leave button of the joi template.

- javaScriptPreloadImage parameter has been renamed to
javaScriptPreloadThumbs. New javaScriptPreloadImage parameter can be
used to add some javascript code in image pages to preload the next
image of the same size when current one is loaded, to speed up the
album browsing.
(patch from David Panofsky).

- added Russian translation.
(thanks to Andrei Emeltchenko).

- Mandrake 9.0 and NetBSD packages are now available. Check the
download page.
(mdk rpm by C?dric Thevenet,
NetBSD package by Thomas Klausner <(wiz at netbsd dot org>)

- install.sh script can now install BINS in specified directories. For
example, to install it in /opt/bins, use the following command :
PREFIX=/opt/bins install.sh
	
BINS 1.1.15
-----------

- New parameter linkInsteadOfCopy has been added, to create a link to
the image in the destination directory instead of copying it, when
it's possible.
Patch from Vincent Bernat.

- Correct a bug that crashed bins with Perl 5.8.0
Patch from Marty Leisner

- Include links for movie files (avi, mpeg and mov) in the navigation
bar of albums ("In this album" upper left box).
Patch from Vincent Cautaer.

- Scale method (to created scaled pictures and thumbnails) can now be
chose with the new scaleMethod parameter. It can be either scale or
sample. sample is faster, scale is better.
Idea from Mark W. Eichin.

- Don't perform rotation on files matching the regexp defined by the
new noRotation parameter (default to _Orig suffix). This can be used
in conjunction with scaleIfSameSize=0 and a scaled size of 100%x100%
to keep original pictures in your album.
Patch from Vincent Cautaer.

- Correct a bad behavior with some little pictures when scaled sizes
uses mixed pixels and percentages.
Patch from Vincent Cautaer.

- jpegtran can now be used with image names containing spaces.
Patch from Vincent Bernat.

- Define $verbose earlier to avoid warning.
Patch from Vincent Bernat.

- Chop local encoding to avoid carrier return.
Patch from Vincent Bernat.

- A sample album.xml file is provided in the doc directory. Take a
look at it to see how you can customize a album.

BINS 1.1.14
-----------

- Some image files and directories can now be excluded by setting some
regexp to excludeFiles and excludeDirs new parameters. excludeDirs is
set to ^CVS$ in default config, and thus, CVS subdirs aren't processed
by bins now.

- HTML generation performances have been increased by using the
blind_cache parameter of HTML::Template.
Thanks to Mark Eichin for this one.

- Corrected a bug that wrongly set width and height of thumbnails and
prevented Internet Explorer (at least version 5) to display them.

- Changed the image template so that Internet Explorer can display the
title tooltip on the prev/next thumbnails (when thumbPrevNext is 1).

- bins now process .thm (THuMbnail) files. Accroding to Mark Eichin,
Canon cameras that do movies generate mvi*.thm files which are really
small JPEGs with exif data.

BINS 1.1.13
-----------

- It is now possible to use the <sizes> parameter in picture
description files to have different scaled images number and scaled
sizes for pictures in the same album (for example, one can have three
scaled pictures, small, medium and big, for most of the images of an
album, and a fourth one, huge, for big panoramas). Some other
parameters, such as titleOnThumbnail, defaultSize or
thumbnailBackground, can now also be used on a per image basis.

- A bug introduced in 1.1.10 version that caused scaleIfSameSize
parameter to be always 1 has been corrected.
Thanks to Mark Eichin for pointing out the problem 
and to Dan (mcmahill @ mtl.mit.edu) and Kamil Iskra for the correction path.

- jpegtran can now be used even if it cannot handle the same file in
input and output (this is the case for the jpegtran shipped with most
GNU/Linux distribution, except Debian).
Patch from Kamil Iskra.

- Corrected encoding problem on creation date.
	
BINS 1.1.12
-----------

- Sorting order for directories and/or pictures can now be reversed,
using the -r command line option or the reverseOrder parameter.
Patch from Christian Hoenig for the -r option.

- A bug on automatic rotation of destination image when -o was used
has been corrected (width and height were inversed).

- French translation has been corrected.

BINS 1.1.11
-----------

- Some javascript code is now added in thumbnails pages to preload
thumbnails of the next page when current one is loaded, to speed up
the album browsing. This can be deactivated with the new
javaScriptPreloadImages parameter.

- Generated HTML code is now cleaned up to reduce the size of pages
and thus, speed up browsing. This reduces the size of HTML BINS files
by about 30%. This uses the HTML::Clean(3) library (new
dependency). This can be deactivated with the new compactHTML
parameter.

- Use of the jpegtran program is now deactivated in default config
(some versions fail to perform rotation correctly). A new parameter
rotateWithJpegtran has been added. Set it to 1 in binsrc to continue
to use jpegtran.

- Added some non breakable spaces in HTML code.

- Strip . (dots) in small size names when creating file names (this
caused problem with italian i18n). You may have to delete all your
generated HTML files before running bins on a old italian album to
clean it up.

- Some minor bugs have been corrected.
	
- French translation has been corrected.
	
BINS 1.1.10
-----------

- Most of the formats that ImageMagick can handle are now supported by
BINS. See the @knownImageExtentions variable in the configuration
section in bins.

- Italian i18n has been added. Thanks to Lele Gaifax (lele @ seldati.it).

- added 'ignore' parameter, that works like the -i command line
options.

- added -n command line option and 'hidden' parameter to prevent some
sub-album from being linked, in the same way -i and 'ignore'
works. This can be used to create private albums.

- Remove link to details page if there is no data about the picture.

- new parameter stripDirPrefix to strip numeric prefix in directories,
like the -p command line option.

- Typos corrections (patch from Leo Breebaart).

BINS 1.1.9
----------

- Corrected bug which broke album thumbnails when using
include_images.
Patch from Mark W. Eichin.

- Corrected bug that crashed bins when run on some particular images,
in particular grayscaled JPEG.

- Corrected bug that crashed bins when run on some particular exif
structures images.
Patch from Klaus Ethgen.

- Corrected problem with -v option that appeared in 1.1.8 version.

- New 0.7 version of Mark W. Eichin's bins-edit-gui which corrects
some miscellaneous bugs. See RELEASE.gui file for more details.

BINS 1.1.8
----------

- Use of color styles to choose a set of colors via the colorStyle
parameter in the config/desc files or using the new -c command line
option. Color styles provided in the binsrc are blue (default one),
green, ivory and pink.
	
- Get charset encoding from the system's locales, instead of the
ISO-8859-1 hardcoded value.

- new -f command line option to use an alternate configuration file
instead of ~/.bins/binsrc.
(patch from Bill Carlson).
	
- Correct a bug with read only images and scaleIfSameSize=0 (set write
permission on destination image after copying it).
Thanks to Mark W. Eichin for the bug report.

- Correct some bugs with the -e option (editable albums).
(patch from Christian Hoenig).

- Correct bugs with command lines parameters (command line options now
override config file parameters).

- Use of verbose functions to display command line messages
(patch from Christian Hoenig).

- Updated man page, thanks to Mark W. Eichin.

- New 0.6 version of Mark W. Eichin's bins-edit-gui which adds
user-specified rotation to interface plus some other
improvements. See RELEASE.gui file for more details.


BINS 1.1.7
----------

- Use of HTML:Template to manage HTML creation from template
files. Thus, the HTML code is totally separated from the Perl code.

- new version 0.5 of bins-edit-gui by Mark W. Eichin, supporting i18n
via gettext (French translation is provided). See RELEASE.gui file
for more details.

	
BINS 1.1.6
----------

- rotation can now be performed on destination images, thus, original
images can be preserved. This is controlled by the rotateImages
parameter. See the comment on it in the binsrc for more
information. Note that you may have to manually add this attribute in
the desc file of picture if the original image was already rotated by
previous version of BINS (or else, the original image will be rotated
each time you run BINS).

- the priority attribute is added in the exif tag in XML desc files to
use value from desc file instead of exif data from image file
(normally, data from image file takes precedence on values from XML
desc file). In particular, this is used to not read the Orientation
tag in image file when the original is already rotated.

- use of the title HTML attribute to show tooltips on prev
and next links (display title of picture), sizes (display long
names and resolution) and other links (misc help).

- display the current album thumbnail in sub-albums page if it has
pictures, with links to the first thumbnail page. This is controlled
by the albumThumbInSubAlbumPage parameter (see binsrc file).
	
- a bug on sample images with special characters in the file name has
been corrected.

- man pages have been added. Thanks to Mark W. Eichin for writing
them.

- new version 0.4 of bins-edit-gui by Mark W. Eichin, see RELEASE.gui
file for more details.
	
BINS 1.1.5
----------
	
- new bins-edit-gui program to set or edit description fields using a
GTK+ graphical interface. Thanks to Mark W. Eichin who wrote this
program.

- an "ignore" directive for the album.xml has been added with a new -i
command line option, so that entire albums can be ignored (not indexed
and published) (patch from Rene Weber)

- new -e option to add link to .xml description files in HTML album,
to ease the edition of description fields. (patch from Christian
Hoenig)
	
- number, sizes and size names of scaled images can now be
personalized in config files and desc files (see comment in binsrc).

- the default scaled image size (which is displayed when user clicks
directly on the thumbnail in the thumbnails page instead of one of the
size name) is configurable in the config files using the defaultSize
parameter.

- check explicitly for -t directory existing (catches typos) (patch
from Mark W. Eichin).

- clearer -h explanation of what -t does, and clarification of what -p
does.  (patch from Mark W. Eichin)
	
- use of generic exif tag "Software" and "Owner" instead of Canon
specific ones. (patch from Christian Hoenig)
	
- transform the Apex Value to the exposure time in seconds for
ShutterSpeedValue. (patch from Christian Hoenig)

- add empty description fields in the <description> section when the
image description file is created to ease later edition with an text
editor (this controlled by the createEmptyDescFields parameter in the
configuration files). (patch from Christian Hoenig)

- corrected a bug with the "-o copied" command line option. (patch
from Rene Weber)

- the addition of "all thumbnails" pages for the parent directory and
sub-directories that have thumbnails that take more than page for
off-line browsing.  This is controlled by the allThumbnailsPage
parameter and is an alpha feature and doesn't seems to works
properly. It is deactivated in the default config. (patch from Rene
Weber)
	

BINS 1.1.4
----------

- strip control code characters in Exif tag name. Some DigiCam (at
least Kodak ones) puts some 0 code in their Exif tag names, which
crashed bins or bin_edit during the XML parsing.


BINS 1.1.3
----------
	
- add a parameter to display thumbnails close to the previous and next
link at the bottom of the image page.  Thanks to Rene Weber for the
patch.

- new parameter templateStyle and command line switch -s to choose a
style of template. The only style provided for now is "default".  If
anyone want to make some new ones, don't hesitate to contact me, I'm
so bad at HTML design...

- new template footer.html to add a footer on all generated pages.
Thanks to Rene Weber for the patch.
	
- add a parameter thumbnailBackground that allow to add a background
colour to the thumbnail's cell in the thumbnails page so that if the
top and bottom borders are wider than the image (for example, if it is
in portrait mode), instead of spilling over, there is a border around
the whole picture. Thanks to Rene Weber for the patch.
	
- center the list of image size names under thumbnail. Thanks to Rene
Weber for the patch.

	
BINS 1.1.2
----------

- use of configuration files /etc/bins/binsrc and ~/.bins/binsrc to
personalize BINS.

- personalization parameters can be used in album or image description
files too.

- new Exif tags for ISO, Exposure Program, Original Image Width and
Length, and Compression Quality (tested with Olympus camera).  Thanks
to Rene Weber for the patch.
	
- new install script.

- BINS is now in Sid (Debian unstable version), thanks to Mark
W. Eichin.

- some typos corrections (thanks to Mark W. Eichin and Rene Weber).
	

BINS 1.1.1
----------

- automatically rotate picture if the Orientation EXIF tag is found
and the orientation isn't correct. This tag is set when you rotate
pictures on the DigiCam. For JPEG files, BINS use jpegtran if found,
otherwise use mogrify (form ImageMagick).

- corrected bug in reading EXIF fields from picture file.

- corrected bug on date format (gettext doesn't seems to work with
perl string containing backslash, if anyone has an idea...). For now,
default date format is set to French. You have to set it manually if
you want to change it : just edit the Transform field of the date
record in the %fields hash in the configuration of bins file (near the
beginning, read comment).

- removed forgotten debug output.
	

BINS 1.1.0
----------

- new details pages which displays all information available on file
and DigiCam settings for each picture, with tooltip explaining the
meaning of some fields. Additional information for Canon DigiCams are
provided.

- customizable charset encoding, including full support for UTF-8
(Unicode), with Generation of the Apache .htaccess file for correct
encoding charset in HTTP headers.
	
- use XML as desc file format (with a utility to convert old .txt
format to new .xml format called bins_txt2xml).

- all Exif information is now saved in the XML description file,
preventing they disappear when the image is modified.
	
- ability to change background color (thanks to Christian Hoenig).
	
- center links under thumbnails.
	
- don't center decription fields under picture.

- corrected bug on URL that wasn't correctly escaped in tree page and
for album thumbnails (thanks for Andrew Ruthven for this last one).


BINS 1.0.4
----------

- use of the <abbr> tags to show tooltips on short size names.
	
- added a sample album.txt and album_fr.txt in the templates
directory.
	
- complete the doc with use of album.txt.
	
- complete the doc with names of the mandrake 8.1 & 8.2 packages to
install.  (thanks to C?dric Thevenet)
	
- display BINS version at bottom of each page.
	
BINS 1.0.3
----------

- Correct a bug with path of thumbnails in album page when an
album.txt is used

- new command line option -d to control addition of EXIF tags in
description files
	
- New parameter $defaultSize to turn thumbnails into a link

- Use more appropriate alt on thumbnails

- Work around for corrupt images that return a zero size (thanks to
Bill Carlson)
	
BINS 1.0.2
----------

- Correctly escape space and other odd characters in directory & file
names using URI:Escape.
	
- correct a random bug that caused problems in HTML generation when
I18N is used.

- added date of generation in HTML

- added BINS version and CVS Id tag in generated HTML

- some tables where empty when no description field exists (this is
not allowed by HTML 4.0)
	
- fix some minor problems
	
- some code clean up
	
BINS 1.0.1
----------

- added German (thanks to Colin Marquardt <colin @ marquardt-home.de>
and Polish translations (thanks to Grzegorz Borek
<grzebo?@?poczta.onet.pl>).
	
BINS 1.0.0 (differences with SWIGS 0.1.1)
----------

- Possibility to display the title of each image on top of its
thumbnail.  (see the $titleOnThumbnail parameter at the beginning of
the bins file)
	
- Possibility to display the thumbnails in the image list page, if
$thumbnailInImageList parameter is set. Be warned that this may
produce a really loaded page if the album contains lots of pictures.
(see the $thumbnailInImageList parameter at the beginning of the bins
file)

- Template modified & some little bugs corrected to produce some valid
HTML 4.0 Transitional pages, as checked by the WDG HTML Validator
(http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/source.html).

- I18N, using Locale::gettext, to produce fully translated album
(French translation is provided). If Locale::gettext is not installed
on the running system, album will be generated in English.
	
- Verbose command line option, with different levels, to see work
progression.

- Use of a generic parameter to define the list of fields describing a
picture, with the possibility of reading the EXIF data structure (see
below). See the @fields structures in the bins file for details.

- Possibility of reading the EXIF data structure found on some images
(usually, those produced by digital cameras) to fill automatically the
desired fields (date and time, for example). See the @fields
structures in the bins file for details.

- bins_edit utility: it can be used to set or edit description fields
on several pictures in one command.
	
- Size of scaled pictures can now be expressed in percentage of the
original picture, i.e. you can write
  my @scaledWidths = ("640", "66%","100%"); 
  my @scaledHeights = ("480", "66%", "100%");
and SWIGS generate 640 x 480, 1024 x 768 and 1600 x 1200 scaled
pictures from an 1600 x 1200 original picture.  It is useful if your
pictures are not all of the same size.

- Don't convert an image if it has already the right size, if
$scaleIfSameSize parameter is 0. In this case, the original picture is
just copied, instead of being rescaled to the same size with a new
JPEG quality. Thus, you can keep the original picture in the album
(otherwise, you loose conpression level for jpeg).

- Don't generate scaled and thumbnails images if they already exists
and the original is older. This speed up regeneration of albums.

- Use Image::Size insteed of loading an image to get its size.  This
speed up regeneration of albums.
