Pixaria 2.3 Coming This Week

I'm pleased to report that Pixaria Gallery version 2.3 is almost ready for release and that I'll be offering it from Monday June 9th.

The reason for the delay in getting this one out is primarily due to the many minor changes and improvements included in the update, all of which have meant a lot more testing than normal as so many small things have changed.

In particular, my main focus for this release has been to further improve on the speed and performance of the software particularly in searching and browsing results. In this effort, I'm indebted to three Pixaria users who kindly gave me access to their servers in order to carry out in situ testing of the performance tweaks I've been making.

After this update is released, my attention will be turning to version 2.5 and looking further still, the important process of deciding what features to target for version 3.0 which I'm hoping to release early in 2009. Stay tuned for more on this as I'm planning to publish an (experimental) roadmap for Pixaria for the next 12 months on which feedback is more than welcome..!
