As SourceForge is absolutelly incompetente regarding support requests about their CVS, I decided to move the CVS to my own server.

Pixlr's CVS repository is now hosted on: cvs.pixlr.com

Yeah! Pixlr has it's own SourceForge project now. You can access the project here. Please submit feature requests and bug reports only in the appropriate SourceForge trackers. The Web-CVS tree is avail. here.

Yay! Another big step into "Pixlr goes Multiplatform" has been done. I just finished my first tests with the Ipernity API and I was already able to authenticate Pixlr with my Ipernity account.



The Ipernity API isn't that big yet, and most of the methods I need for Pixlr, aren't avail. yet - but according to the Iperntiy-Team, it will be expanded soon!

The biggest step for Pixlr to be usable for many different platform has been finished by me yesterday. I completelly wrote my own interface to the Flickr API. This means that Pixlr doesn't depend on the 3rd party module Flickr::API anymore but uses Pixlr::API::Flickr now. But that's not the big news... instead of calling Pixlr::API::Flickr, it now calls Pixlr::API( 'service' => 'flickr' ); this makes Pixlr easily extendable to other platforms (like Iperntiy or Zooomr). I also just finished the first beta of Pixlr::API::Ipernity and did some tests - which all worked fine. I'm curisous to test out all the other functions/methos with Ipernity - looking forward to it

On this way, a big thanks to Christophe from the Ipernity-Team for being so kind to offer me an API key for Pixlr

This was fast, huh? I just released the first official development version of Pixlr. Pixlr 0.1.6-dev has a great new feature which I didn't want to keep back - Tags Your flickr tags are now imported into the database, so that you can search for photos by tags.

The database layout changed a bit as well. Photos are now avail. by an internal ID which is stored in the database. This will make things much easier for new features You are now able to decide wether the description should be HTML escaped or not. Find a live version of the new features in my personal photoblog.

The download can be found here.
The changelog is avail. here.

Yay! I did a bunch of work on Pixlr today. Actually a comple rewrite of the main parts of the code. There are not much new features, but the code has been cleaned up and optimized massivly. Pixlr now also has a - yet simple, but working - installation script. The KML-Google Maps feature has been added to this release as well.

Find the latest download here.
The changelog can be found here.

I've found some time today, to add a new feature to Pixlr. The URL to Google Maps now loads a dynamically generated KML file, which Google Maps can use to add so called "placemarks" to the map. This placemark will show the exact position of your geolocation together with the image title, the description and the thumbnail of the photo.

I've added the feature to my photoblog (check out the google maps link) already and will be also avail. in the next Pixlr release.
