The most significant changes in this version are a greatly improved image processor that should provide better quality resized images and fix some known image processing bugs, and Streams now have a Description field.
Updates
* Added: There is now a Description field for Streams. Previously members were using the password field on streams to add additional notes/description.
* Changed: Improved the appearance of stream listings on the userpage, front page and Latest Streams page.
* Changed: The "Edit" and "Delete" buttons are now visible on a stream wherever it is displayed, if you are the stream owner or a moderator.
* Changed: A better method for creating resized images is being used that should give a higher quality result.
* Changed: Now using the latest version of ImageMagick from source. This helps fix a few bugs that are known to exist in the old ImageMagick version supplied in the stable Debian package. This includes image size bugs (some images were being resized bigger than can fit horizontally on a page) and color correction issues (such as line weight or brightness of some images being affected).
* Change/Added: Now using an improved PNG optimiser.
* Changed: List of users who faved a submission now only visible to submission owner and moderators (applied as a hot fix shortly after the faving users list feature was added in the last version).
* Fixed: A bug introduced in the last version caused Suggested Submissions feature to fail when sorting by username or date (applied as a hot fix shortly after the release of the previous version).
* Fixed: Formatting issues on the new Gallery Stats page.
* Changed/Fixed: A whole bunch of little improvements to various moderator tools.
* Added: Improved protection against unauthorised role escalation.
* Added/Changed: Improvements to the deployment documentation.
* Removed: Some obsolete code and links in the moderator tools menu.

Lol woops I misread that and didn't see the word "image" xD I don't know what plans there are for the maintenance image! :D If it's no longer me doing the maintenance then maybe it's fair for it to change. :3

Actually we were offline for 51 minutes. Most of that was just the database scrub that we run every month or so. The site update tends to take around 15 minutes to complete.

has been handling ongoing development tasks while I manage staff, user moderation and social communication and get up to speed on the code. There is a lot of "running the site" that doesn't involve writing code, especially with all the new users we've added in the last few weeks; the idea is to get that off his back first, as it's easiest to shift.
We're still in a transition period - I don't want to take credit for that just yet. :-) starling (
What are you using for PNG optimization? I currently use "pngcrush" followed by "pngout" on each image. I average around 11 percent lossless reduction in size for my PNG files. I also use "jpegtran -op -co n", for my JPG files, that averages a 9 percent lossless reduction for those. It's not much, but every little bit helps.

Are there any plans to implement responsive CSS / the ability to activate responsive CSS? If not, is that something perhaps I could write for you / help with? =)
