15. October 2008

It's been a long time since last update, but as you can see from the list below, we have been busy! The main reason for the delay in updates, is because we have re-worked the entire configuration/theme structure. In short, this means that after update, you will be able to upgrade to any future releases without having to worry about your customizations! Changes to config, themes and passwords are now stored separately in your gallery, and you will always keep your changes after upgrading. Read more about the new theme/configuration structure:
www.imagevuex.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=11716

Furthermore, this means we will be able to proceed to official public release with next update!

Important! When upgrading from an earlier version, this time please delete your entire "imagevue" folder before you upload the new files. There has been a few changes that require some old files to be deleted. Simply overwriting won't delete old files.
