Gallery or Menalto Gallery is an open-source project enabling management and publication of digital photographs and other media through a PHP-enabled web server. Photo manipulation includes automatic thumbnails, resizing, rotation, and flipping, among other things. Albums can be organized hierarchically and individually controlled by administrators or privileged users.[1]
History
[edit]Gallery 3 is the current release of Gallery. It is a complete rewrite of Gallery 2 intended to be small, intuitive, fast, and easily customizable. Gallery 3.0 was released on October 5, 2010.[2] Gallery 3.0.9 was released on June 28, 2013.[3] Since 2017, Gallery 3 development has continued on GitHub.[4] Support was transferred to the Gallery 3 Users Forum.[5] On November 14, 2021, Gallery 3 version 3.1.5 was released to include support for PHP 8.[6]
Gallery 2 was publicly released on September 13, 2005.[7] Gallery 2.3.1 included support for PHP 5.3 and was released on December 17, 2009.[8] Development of Gallery 2 ceased in 2012.
Gallery 1 was released in April 2001[9] and was developed for seven years, the last release being version 1.5.10 on November 21, 2008.[10]
Gallery participated in the Google Summer of Code in 2006,[11] 2007,[12] and 2008.[13] Gallery also participated in OpenUsability's Season of Usability in 2008[14] and 2009.[15]
In 2003, Gallery was SourceForge's October Project of the Month.[16]

Controversy
[edit]In 2010, Gallery announced the use of some proprietary Adobe tools to build some components of Gallery 3 in Adobe Flash. Several users expressed great concern that proprietary software was being used in an open-source project and that Flash components were being included in an open-source package. A rebuttal to the controversy included a disclosure that Adobe Flash objects had previously been used for file uploading functionality in Gallery only seemed to further ignite the controversy.[18] In 2019 Gallery 3.1.0 was released which replaced the Flash-based uploader with modern open source code.[6]
Revival
[edit]In June 2013 the developers of Gallery 3 released version 3.0.9 code-named "Chartres" and in June 2014 announced that they would suspend further development of Gallery 3.[19] The GPL license allowed for continued development by others or the creation of a fork of Gallery based on the existing code. In 2019 a group of long-time Gallery 3 users developed and released Gallery 3.1.1 to keep the program viable on servers running PHP 7 and 8 which also included additional technical and feature improvements.[6] Version 3.1.5 of Gallery 3 was released on November 14, 2021.
