10/26/2005 Build Update

The 5.21 build has been updated with minor bug fixes and one performance enhancement.

If you need to disable your cache for performance reasons, you will need this update to ensure that the caching system is entirely turned off.

Other minor changes:

- Fix for the gallery layout when using Index Thumbnails
- comshow updated to reduce queries used to generate page
- all bug fixes posted in forums to date

If you are like me, you want to make sure you have the most current software possible and over the past 6 weeks we've made some minor updates to the build to incorporate bug fixes reported by customers. The fixes may or may not effect you, but we include them in the build so that new customers will benefit by having the most up-to-date software available. (Unfortunately, we do not have an exact list of fixes made, although there have been no security reported issues requiring any changes.)

As such, I've update the build to todays date and documented the list of files that have changed since the 10/26 build along with dates the files were last modified:

adm-cats.php - 11/2
adm-misc.php - 10/28
bulkupload.php - 12/9
comments.php - 12/1
editphoto.php - 12/9
pp-inc.php - 11/16
showfull.php - 11/16
showgallery.php - 10/28
showmembers.php - 11/2
showphoto.php - 12/1
uploadphoto.php - 12/9
useralbums.php - 11/2

forums/ikon.php - 11/14

templates/editphoto.tmpl - 12/9
templates/uploadphoto.tmpl - 12/9
templates/vb3enhanced/editphoto.tmpl - 12/9
templates/vb3enhanced/uploadphoto.tmpl - 12/9

If you have modified your files, you can use a utility like Beyond Compare 2 to highlight the minor changes to each file; otherwise you can simply upload the changed files and you will be current - there are no database changes.

If the date on your files is subsequent to the dates on the files above, you are already running a current copy of the file and do not need to update yours.
