Woensdag is er met versienummer 8.2 een nieuwe versie van JAlbum verschenen. 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 webpagina worden geplaatst. Omdat de software in Java wordt ontwikkeld, is deze verkrijgbaar voor een groot aantal besturingssystemen. Het changelog van deze release laat de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen zien:
News and updatesBug fixes
- Improved plugin architecture. Plugins and skins can now add their own custom UI tab to the tabs of Jalbum's edit panel.
- This release includes a JCameraInfo plugin that displays camera metadata in its own tab on Jalbum's edit panel.
- The "Smooth" scaling mode is now of even higher quality, (but slower and requires more RAM memory)
- Jalbum's text editor plugin that was introduced with Jalbum 8.1 has been improved. It now has a new wizard to create new skins and delete skins. The text editor also has improved variable completion and documentation. It now also recognizes skin variables
