Version 4.0.2 March 14, 2013 New features: - You can create separate slide pages, which can be separately Liked, Shared, commented and crawled by search bots. To use this mode go to "Settings / Pages" and turn on "Make slide pages". Please note, in this mode there can be no smooth image transitions, continuous background music, the number of thumbnails above the images on the slide page is limited to 20, and this mode also results in more traffic comparing to the "traditional" dynamic mode. - New HTML5/Flash player for both video and audio files (jplayer.org - Happyworm.inc) - Option to not allow the thumbnail scroller and info panels cover the images (fit images between the top and bottom panels) - You can turn off the custom scroller, thus the whole page will be scrolled, not only the thumbnail area - Option to preserve the space for widgets at the bottom (default: no) - Theme image can be blurred - Google Map can be displayed on the index pages too, highlights the actual image - Facebook commenting and Like button on slide pages when "Make slides" is on - The background music retains the play position, volume and play/stopped state after changing folders - Only the visible thumbnails get loaded, which results in more responsive albums, faster page loads and less traffic - New "Allow download" as ZIP option for manually selected originals only - Added option for displaying text labels along the icons on the Info panel - The folder description appears in a box when selected as not visible by default - Selectable font size for folder titles - 5 new styles: Cardboard, Dark fabric, Flower Pattern, Leather Light, Linen (using textures from subtlepatterns.com) - Smooth mouse over effect on thumbnails - Configurable thumbnail rounding, spacing and padding - No size change (jumping) on folder tiles after page load - Modal windows adapt height to content (e.g. search results) - Added Sitemap graphics (compass) - Option to not use Turtle's favicon (use the site's) - Continue shopping URL can be specified to redirect customers to a custom page Changed: - Several styles has changed in order to have the backgrounds more reserved and to put more emphasys on photos - 1.x Legacy styles removed (find all the legacy styles on http://lazaworx.com/turtle-skin-legacy-styles) - Removed next image action on clicking the image on touch devices - Discontinued support for IE7 - New favicon and App icons - Returned back to 2 column mode for folders - Custom pages only show up between the thumbnails is there's no top navigation Fixed: - Text preformatting didn't work with new Java versions - Slow page load with Fotomoto - several other bugfixes... Note: - The "Show map if GPS coordinates found" setting has changed to include the index page option too, therefore if you open an album made previously you need to reselect this option, otherwise no map will be generated - Version 4.0.0 was the testing version, this is why I bumped up the version number
Version 3.5.4 Sept 14, 2012 New feature: - Control bar does not disappear with "Advanced / Auto-hide control bar" = OFF Fixed: - Empty share box below images when only Facebook or Twitter was selected - Up link from the top level page opens in "parent" frame, useful with embedded albums - Empty image caption template triggered a Javascript error Updated: - French translation

Turtle 3.5.2 August 30, 2012 Turtle.jaskin
New features

Fixed

Changed

Please note
- Turtle now can create slide pages too with limited functionality. These are useful
for SEO purposes, because the high resolution images are placed on a separate HTML
page and can be indexed easier. Being this a new feature which changes many things,
can break some of the album functionality. Use with precaution and test. - If you want to play safe, disable the
Make slidesoption onSettings / Pages /– jAlbum might turn it on occasionally
Advanced / Make slides - This update brings a new method for image linking, therefore when you update albums
made previously, make sure to regenerate all sub-folders.
Settings / Advanced / Process subdirectories = ON
Settings / Advanced / Process only updated subdirectories = OFF

Turtle 3.4.0 Jun 20, 2012 Turtle.jaskin
New features
- Facebook Commenting
- Visitors can download the whole album as ZIP
Fixed
- Controls should disappear quicker on touch devices
- Videos did not scale to fit initially, only after clicking the fit/1:1 button
- Thumbnail for sharing was not available when none of the sharing was selected
Please note, due to the fact the ZIP format does not store the Encoding (locale) of the file and folder names you might get broken file names (and albums) after extraction on Widows. Java encodes these names to UTF-8, which is used by OSX and Linux by default. Windows, however, is decoding them using the visitor PC’s locale (never UTF-8). We will create a little applet by which visitors can decode these ZIP files properly, but until then I suggest you to keep with simple ASCII file and folder names, and use the “Title” field in Edit mode to add accented characters. This method is more safe for using the album on the web too.
For the Facebook commenting feature you will need to create a new app on Facebook’s developer center: https://developers.facebook.com/ Copy the App ID in Turtle’s Facebook App ID box. You can use the same App ID on all pages of your site.
