This release contains user interface and documentation improvements, and an optional new public demo/playground page for seeing the effect of different imaging operations.

  • Added a new application overview page, which is also available from the Help menu
  • Added new help text in the administration area
  • Various user interface improvements, use a larger font in form elements
  • Added a password confirmation field to detect typos during password changes
  • Passwords must now be between 8 and 120 characters

Bug fixes:

  • Intermittent startup error (database locking race condition)
  • Fixed SELinux policy on CentOS/Red Hat, which was not allowing log file rotation

Playground page:

There is a new public-facing demo/playground page that allows various imaging operations to be tried out against a sample image (or a folder of images). This feature is disabled by default. To enable it, add the following settings to your local_settings.py file:

  • DEMO_IMAGE_PATH - the path to either a single image or a folder of images
  • DEMO_OVERLAY_IMAGE_PATH - the path to a single image to use as an overlay/watermark

E.g.

# Enable the demo page at http://images.example.com/demo/
DEMO_IMAGE_PATH = "/test_images/cathedral.jpg"
DEMO_OVERLAY_IMAGE_PATH = "/test_images/quru470.png"
