If you want to display text in exposé from Central and Eastern European languages you might want to download this font pack.

P.S. "Cyrillic-based languages" is probably a misnomer, but you get the drift.
Those of you whose web site uses a dark background may be interested in downloading the newly released configuration pack that adapts exposé for exactly such a scenario. Before installing the pack you might to back up your existing exposé files, but the update should be easy and painless (all you have to do is replace your existing files with the ones in the ZIP download).

You can download the pack here.

More packs coming soon...
As some users found out, the latest release of exposé had an issue with the playback of videos. The problem lies in the value of the baseVideoURL parameter in expose.html. It was originally set to img/ when it should have been expose/img/. The new download includes this fix (if you have already downloaded the original, you can easily fix the problem by editing your copy of expose.html).
The major new feature in ver 1.02 is support for localization (including CJK characters).

This version also includes a few bugfixes.

Download this release from the trinkets page.
The new version implements many of the feature requests I've received in the mail or in the forums. Some of the more prominent new functions:
  • Auto-launching albums, photos, and slide shows
  • Setting root collections
  • Support for CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) characters via system fonts
  • Linking images to URLs
  • Setting a background image


Download the new version from the trinkets page.
Because embedding CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) fonts isn't practical (the resultant fonts file ends up several megabytes large), I've added support for system fonts to the upcoming exposé 4.6. This will make it possible to display CJK text without a bandwidth penalty; on the other hand, it also means that text which uses system fonts will appear aliased (it won't appear smooth).

You can see how it will look here. Please, excuse the gibberish -- I used Google's language tools to translate some of the interface text.

Moreover, I've made the new Album Manager for PHP fully localizable as well (this includes CJK text).
Exposé 4.6 is almost ready for release.

Among the new features are the following:
  • auto-launching specific albums or photos, and starting slide shows
  • specifying top-level collections making it possible for different pages to use different album sets, but managing all of the albums from the same instance of Album Manager for PHP
  • loading background+foreground images
  • even more look&feel customizations
  • a configuration+artwork set for black/dark backgrounds

Currently, only an all-encompasing RSS feed is available, but I will be adding new ones limited to different tags shortly.

I've decided to release the Time Tracker source code under GPL. You can download it here.

Since I don't have a Mac at the moment, further development of this application is in question. I hope someone can still make use of it, though.
Seeing as how the number of exposé users has increased over the last year I thought everyone involved might appreciate me coming back with online posts and discussions.

With that in mind, allow me to present the new home-brewed blogging and message board system made with all my love and care.

It's still a bit rough around the edges, although I will be regularly improving it. Heck, one day the platform may become worthy of an open-source release.

I hope you will find useful the yap tagging feature; keyword searches might also come in handy.

If you'd like to become a regular poster, you will want to sign up for an account (this will require that you submit a valid email address used to activate your account).

What say you?
