[ANN] Pixory beta-3.10

[joseph panico <jo...@panmachine.biz>]

This release fixes a bunch of major bugs.

Pixory is a freeware "personal image server" based on Tapestry.

The application can be found -> http://www.pixory.org

>From the included WHATSNEW file
------------------------------------------
Pixory Beta.3.9 -> Pixory Beta.3.10 (9/9/04)
Fixed bugs:

* Attempting the intial configuration using a hostname other than
127.0.0.1 results in hang/stack overflow. Yes, this should really be
fixed now.
* Bug in "Configuration->Advanced->Indexing->rebuild now" that
causes shares with listed contacts to disappear.
* After deleting Pixory database, popping out the contact selector
for "share with listed contacts" selection causes Exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: XXX is not a valid album path...
* Using the 'download' button in the zip archive Album download
dialog (from the Album Index page) results in error message.
* Mark album as "share with public", then delete album on
filesystem. The album entry is still visible on the viewer home page
(though the thumbnail doesn't show up). When viewer selects the
deleted album they used to get a nasty exception message. Now they get
a message that says the album is no longer available.
* Send invitation to an album that uses the share method "with
listed contacts". When the recipient clicks on the URL in the
invitation they get message: "You do not have privilege to access this
album"
* Share album with listed contact. Then (re)move album on
filesystem. When that listed contact logs in, he gets an exception
message the prevents further action.
* Navigate to the Photo Info Editor (metadata page). Then remove
image file from file system, click on the last path element in the
navigation path bar, and get an exception message.

Other changes:

* There is a new Java property that allows Pixory to be
initialized (configured for the first time) from outside the LAN:
-Dwan.initialization.enabled=true.

Known issues:

* Pictures that have filenames containing non-ASCII characters
will not show up properly in Albums or the Lightbox.
* One or two people have reported that, on Win XP, some pictures
that were thumbnailed properly under Pixory 3.8 no longer work in 3.9.
All of the pictures that I tested on Win XP worked properly in 3.9.
Until someone provides me with reproducible test cases, I have to
assume that there is no bug here.
