Enkele dagen geleden is versie 8.0 van JAlbum uitgebracht. Met dit programma kunnen op eenvoudige wijze professioneel uitziende html-fotoalbums worden gegenereerd en bewerkt. In een overzichtelijke gebruikersinterface kunnen foto's simpel worden aangepast, kan de volgorde worden gewijzigd, het uiterlijk van de webpagina worden bepaald en kan via de ingebouwde ftp-client het resultaat op een homepage worden geplaatst. De software wordt ontwikkeld in Java en is daardoor verkrijgbaar voor een groot aantal verschillende besturingssystemen. Het changelog van deze release laat de volgende veranderingen zien:
News and updatesBug fixes
