Photopress 0.9.4

Sorry this release took so long. I should probably call it 1.0 RC1 or something, but it seems way too buggy for that right now.

New features and fixes:

• The main change in this version is a new categories table, which required a bunch of changes all over the place.
• Uses buttonsnap to add a pretty button to the RTE’s toolbar. This can be disabled if desired.
• A watermarking function contributed by Marcus. It worked in my quick test, but more testing is likely in order.
• The album layout now uses a styled unordered list instead of a table, ala Plogger. If you’ve customized your template you’ll need to do it again, but it should be much easier now.

Unfixed bug: My uncle, a regular source of odd test cases, found a bug in the resizing function. A large but well-compressed JPEG can cause a fatal error in the resizing function due to excessive memory usage. A fatal error leaves no way (as far as I can tell) to display a message or delete the offending image. This is very lame. I’m working on a way to check how much memory an image will use before attempting to resize it, and cancel the upload gracefully.
