Gallery is a web based software product that lets you manage
your photos on your own website. You must have your own website
with PHP and database support in order to install and use it. With Gallery
you can easily create and maintain albums of photos via an
intuitive interface. Photo management includes automatic
thumbnail creation, image resizing, rotation, ordering,
captioning, searching and more. Albums and photos can have
view, edit, delete and other permissions per individual
authenticated user for an additional level of privacy. It's
great for communities - give accounts to your friends and family
and let them upload and manage their own photos on your website!

In preparation of the Gallery 2.3 release, we retained <b>
<a href="http://www.gdssecurity.com/">Gotham Digital Science</a></b>
(GDS) to a perform security audit on Gallery 2. They are experts in application security, as
this is the primary focus of their business.
</p>
<p>
We recognize that hiring external consultants to perform security audits does not guarantee
that our code is bug-free and by no means un-hackable, but it clearly indicates our
willingness to perform due diligence to make sure our code is reasonably secure.
The combination of an <b>external perspective</b> of security experts and the insight of
internal experts both performing detailed audits is yielding much better results than only
one of the two perspectives alone.
</p>
<p>
Audits of previous releases were done by the following origanzations:

<h2><a name="whats_new">What’s new in this release?</a></h2>
<p class="toc-link"> <a href="#toc">[table of contents]</a> </p>
<p>
Over four years of design and development have gone into making
Gallery 2 the best online photo management product available.
We have made it easy to add new features while keeping them in
separate modules so that you can customize it to only have the
ones that you want. For those of you who like standards, we
have strict XHTML compliance but give plenty of power to our
themes so that you can make it look the way that you want. It's
a powerful application and you're in the driver's seat.
