• IDS' preferences are now stored in the "ids.conf" file.
• search capability (filenames and descriptions)
• updated look-and-feel (grayscale for better color reproduction in your photos).
• upgraders beware:
  • only files ending in "_desc.txt" are recognized as description files
  • the format of the news file has changed significantly
  • the HTML templates have changed significantly and include new tags to take advantage of new features

• displays the EXIF data embedded in some JPEG images. Many digital cameras embed information such as the camera type, shutter speed, and aperature. This feature requires the Image::Info Perl module.
• an exclude file (".exclude") can be placed in an album. Any files listed in the exclude file will not be displayed by IDS.
• all of the image comments for a particular album can be placed in a single "album_desc.txt" file within that album. See the README for more information. (IDS is backwards compatible with the old comment scheme.)
• the previous and next thumbnail images' names are displayed as just the image name (no filetype extension or "#xx_")
• endusers can choose the size at which they'd like to view images. Note: this only changes the HTML image size tags, it doesn't create a smaller image.
• fixed some HTML 4 compliance issues in the templates.
• fixed a problem where the prev/next buttons would produce a loop

• allows files and directories to have names that include unusual characters like ampersands, apostrophes, and spaces.
• strips off everything after "ignored tags:" in the comments embedded in images taken with some digital cameras. (ex: Kodak DC240 and Canon Powershot S20.)
• no longer requires the Image::Size module.
• new look for the HTML templates. Better compatibility with browsers that don't support CSS.
• displays the total number of items in each album, rather than just the number of images.
• list orders can be rearranged by prepending "#x_" (where "x" is a number) to an album or image name. The "#x_" won't be displayed.
• made it easier to change preferences like the number of images per row, the thickness of the border around thumbnails, and whether or not a zoom icon is drawn.

• generates a new preview if an image is modified
• allows renaming of the ids script
• news and comment files can be HTML rather than plain text. Tags like <html> and <body> are stripped out.
• IDS' variable tags in the HTML templates use the standard HTML <!-- comment --> format for better compatibility with some HTML editors

• fixed a bug with the display of files with two periods in their names

• added support for subdirectories within albums
• added previous and next image thumbnails on image pages
• if comments have been embedded in an image file (some digital cameras do this), they will be displayed in the image's "Comments:" box.
• changed the HTML templates quite a bit to take advantage of new features (upgraders beware!)
• fixed the incorrect link to my site at the bottom of every page

• first public release of IDS
