- AVI, MPG/MPEG, WMV file types play in embedded media player instance when available.

- Added username, action, and additional details.
- Expanded logging to all gallery administrative functions.
- Implemented variable management class for future transition from global variables.
- All theme accessible variables will be transitioned to utilize this class. Currently there is a partial adoption. User generated themes will need to reference shipping themes for changes and update their themes as the vars are transitioned.
- Converted action ‘vi’ (View Image) to utilize new loop vars. Legacy support fo previous vi methods dropped. Future actions/states will be progressively updated with legacy support being dropped throughout the next several versions. Reference shipping themes for changes/implementation examples.
- By 4.0 the core will no longer automatically echo’s body content. Themes MUST call function get_content() where they would like to output body content. legacy support will be maintained until 4.0.
- Theme Changes
- Began theme support evolution. The ultimate goal is a streamlined and fully supported way to create themes. 3.5 adds much more flexibility in theme design but creators should be aware that the next version (or two, or three…) will be transition releases where themes are concerned. The final release with the new theme support fully implemented is expected to be version 4.0. Default themes will continue to be supported. These changes will also pave the way for eventual plugin support. The only CSS changes will be those necessary to support new features however at this time feature additions have been frozen. Legacy variables will be available until 4.0 is released. The only immediate changes are the get_head(), get_content(), get_footer(), “gallerydetails.inc.php†changes, and the caption/copyright/download button displays.
- Added call to function get_content() in overall_header.php to populate body content as required for v3.5 themes.
- Updated “gallerydetails.inc.php” to utilize variable manager as required by v3.5.
- Moved caption, copyright, image download code out of core and into themes overall_footer.php providing more flexibility for theme creation. Replaced old variables with new loopvars from new variable management class.
- Added styles for new video support.
- Changed #fallback style to reflect new default behavior.
- Core now requires call to function get_head() to populate core necessary head content. Removed head tag information from themes and added call to function get_head() which now populates the required data for the Panda core. User created themes can still add information after get_head() is called. All themes MUST call get_head().
- Core now requires call to function get_footer() to populate core necessary footer content. Removed footer information from themes and added call to function get_footer which now populates the required data for the panda core. User created themes can still add information before or after get_footer() is called. All themes MUST call get_footer().
- Updated references to viewimage.php to reflect file change to view.php. View.php utilizes php server variable PATH_INFO to pass file and gallery information as opposed to passing variables via get.
- Actions compared using manager compare method. Core variables transitioned to variable manager updated for use in themes. Eventually all legacy variable support will be dropped.
- Moved FancyUpload flash component to flash/fancyupload/ directory.
- Moved FancyUpload javascript components to scripts/fancyupload/ directory.
