Yikes! Stockphoto on Django status update!

The last couple of days I have been seeing a renewed interest in Stockphoto, my basic, minimalist photo gallery application for Django. At the time, I wondered why, since I haven’t updated Stockphoto in the last year, nor made any announcements associated with it. Then, I saw that it had been mentioned in the Django status update on July 22.

This is just a little notice on stockphoto’s status. Stockphoto 0.2 has quite a few known bugs. I have to-do items for all of them in my personal organization system, most of them with contributed patches. I’ve just been too busy in my life to integrate all of these fixes and package them into a release. I want to do better and get two releases out the door soonish.

So here’s the release plan:

1. Stockphoto 0.2.1, soonish. Will fix all outstanding bugs that I know about.
2. Stockphoto 0.3, later. Will include changes to the models to allow slug-based rather than id-based URLs, and some conveniences for template designers.

Please bear with me – if you are in desperate need of a full-featured Django photogallery in the very near future, you will probably want to write it yourself, possibly looking at stockphoto’s code for examples if you are not familiar with Django’s file/image upload handling or with PIL.

Thanks for your patience.
