2008-04-29 - Version 0.2.3 Released - Bugfixes/improvements:

• Fixed a regression from 0.2.1: Background image did not get copied to the output directory;
• Rename/annotate on .BMP files caused it being renamed to .jpg;
• "35mm equiv." exif reading was broken on NIKON cameras;
• Under *NIX, agg.cfg is now stored in $HOME/.agg. It was previously stored in the current directory, which usually resulted in placing it in $HOME;
• view.html generated code reduced in size (about half in size for large galleries);
• Better Exif stats

New features added:

• Abilty to view images in full size - see Picture->View full image or just press Enter from the main window;
• Added the Batch Rename tool;
• Added the Batch Resize tool;
• Added the ability to add custom HTML code in generated pages;
• Force-to-lowercase option for file names;
• Additional frame style for thumbnails added.

2007-09-20 - Version 0.2.2 Released - Bugfixes/improvements:

• Fixed a bug, that did very rarely crash AGG on SMP systems;
• The project config is now split into two pages, for both easier access and in order to be able to hold all settings
• Now if you type a nonexistent directory for the Output Path, it will be created

New features added:

• AGG now generates seperate page for image viewing in galleries; it has prev/next buttons for easier navigation, as well as (if desired) EXIF info table (with info per each picture). The viewer requires a browser with JavaScript support enabled. The plain old gallery style is also supported;
• AGG can now enhance your images by pumping up the contrast or correcting the color levels. You may choose to correct per image, or apply autocorrection to all images;
• Added some new image resizing algorithms - you can choose between three of them - for details, see here;
• AGG adds camera flash usage statistics, when "EXIF Stats" is turned on;
• Time offset feature is added in order to be able to synchronize photos from different cameras, when the clock setting of some of the cameras is wrong or not set. The feature is discussed in detail here;
• You can choose the character encoding of the HTML; this is useful, when you want to use non-latin characters (e.g. for gallery name, file names, etc.). Note: it does not work under Linux, since GTK is strictly Unicode (but this will be resolved in a future release)

2007-05-06 - Version 0.2.1 Released - Bugfixes/improvements:

• Better handling of incomplete/broken files. The bogus files are simply reported, instead of crashing the program;
• Background image for the gallery is automatically copied to the output directory;
• Fixed a problem with SMP code, which did lead to some occasional crashes.

New features added:

• Exif metadata is now preserved in output images (but this behaviour can be turned off);
• Exif is also used to determine image orientation, if your camera has an orientation sensor;
• Images can be sorted by Exif date, instead of by file name. This is useful, if, e.g. you compile a bunch of photos from different cameras, from some event. The images will be sorted in chronological order. This is not enabled by default - to use it, go to File->Preferences and say so;
• AGG will compile a statistics page for various shooting settings (namely, Shutter Speed, Aperture, ISO Speed and Focal length). This is selected in the project settings menu - can be turned off.
• AGG will create a .ZIP file with all images from the gallery, if you request it. This makes it a lot easier to download the entire gallery, especially if the number of images is huge; This feature is optional and is enabled in project settings menu;
• You can customize the resizing resolution for a specific image - use the rename/annotate dialog (shortcut: F2). Especially useful if you don't want to rescale some specific image at all;
• You can quickly view Exif data with F3/F4 buttons.

2006-08-28 - Version 0.2.0 Released - Features added:

• Symmetric multiprocessing now supported. AGG will use as much CPUs/Threads as your system has. E.g. if you own AMD X2, you will get near twice speedup in image processing (compared to version 0.1.5). Though not created for that kind of work, AGG may be used to measure how well your SMP system performs. See the benchmark page for details.
• Fixed some small bugs.
• The font for the text in the HTML may now be selected from AGG.
• AGG now remembers last used directories, etc.

2006-03-29 - Version 0.1.5 Released - Features added:

• Speeded up the resizing routines - the expected improvement is about 25% on some machines.
• .BMP file loading and writing is supported.
• .BMPs may be converted to JPEGs if you wish.
• Rollover images for thumbnails are now supported. The following effects on the thumbnail being under the cursor may be used:
  • Hilight
  • More opacity (the other thumbnails will have 80% opacity)
  • Both methods
• AGG now associates the file type .agg, so now you can load a project by just doubleclicking it (WINDOWS ONLY).
• Fixed an issue with uppercase names and UNIX case-sensitive treatment of file names. More specifically, a bug was caused by having UPPERCASED filenames, creating a gallery under Win32 and uploading the gallery to a UNIX machine. The links to the thumbnails were broken. Fixed now.
• The program's version number and link to this site is put in the final HTML.

2005-11-04 - Version 0.1.4 Released - Features added:

• Added "Picture" menu with the Rename/Annotate field. Expected to add features to this window in future version.
• Added Estimated Time Remaining and percentile counter on the progress window.
• Added Option to change the text color of the generated gallery

2005-10-01 - Version 0.1.3 Released - Features added:

• Added mouse and keyboard shortcuts; See the help for details
• Added support for Input Filename != Output file name. Per image file name editing is supported - use F2 shortcut key.

2005-09-27 - Version 0.1.2 Released - Feature added:

• Added "Exclude image from gallery" feature.

2005-09-20 - Version 0.1.1 Released - Improvements/bugfixes:

• AGG now doesn't silently exit when presented with bad/ broken JPEGs;
• Upon new project creation, "Save", "Configure" and "Create preview" are no longer active;
• Shortcuts now look less confusing;
• The Default Input and Output paths are removed; now there are empty ones at startup;
• The HTML multipage galleries' navigation bar now is "Page [1 2 ..." instead of "Gallery [1 2 ...";
• Image count/current number info added at status bar;
• The Next/Prev buttons now cause a warp when at the last/first image;
• Fixed a confusing error message which occurs when trying to save a project and selection "cancel" on the File selection dialog;
• Added a "Title" field in the project configuration; the title is displayed in the final HTML instead of simply the Input Image Dir.

2005-09-19 - Version 0.1.0 Released - first public release.
