This fixed a bug introduced in version 2.0.2886 where javascript can enter an infinite
loop. The fix was simple - replace 'setInterval' with 'setTimeout'
in the script file mediaobjectview.js (located in the script directory). To upgrade
from 2.0.2887, perform the text replacement stated above.

Bug fixes (View
detailed report of bug fixes)
- Javascript can enter infinite loop
Feature enhancements
There were no new features, but some precompiled assemblies in the source code were
moved to their own directory instead of being deployed in the bin directory. This
made preparing the source version for deployment a bit easier.
2.0.2887 - Released November 27, 2007
This fixed two bugs discovered immediately after the 2886 release. There were no
changes to the database structure or the web.config and galleryserverpro.config
files, so upgrading is as simple as copying the files (keep your web.config and
galleryserverpro.config files).

- Synching makes private albums un-private
- Requesting an invalid media object causes an exception
Feature enhancements
No new features
2.0.2886 - Released November 26, 2007
This was primarily a bug fix release, but it did include an overhaul of the Rearrange
media objects page. There were also several other minor usability enhancements.
The database structure did not change but there were some bug fixes to a few stored
procedures and a user-defined function was added, so executing a SQL script is necessary.
(This can be done with the upgrade.aspx page in the installer directory; read the
Admin Guide
for more information.)

New features

2005, and SQL Server 2005 Express
Bug fixes
- Fixed Bug 1001: When using 'Copy entire album' to copy the root album to
itself, the following exception would occur: System.IO.PathTooLongException - The
path is too long after being fully qualified. Make sure path is less than 260 characters.
-
Fixed Bug 1002: An ArgumentOutOfRangeException occurred when moving an album
under the following conditions:
- The source album is at the same level as it will be at the destination. (e.g.
the source album is 3 deep and the album will be 3 deep at the destination)
-
The full path to the destination album has a shorter length than the source path.
- Fixed Bug 1003: Using a colon (:) in an album name would cause a System.NotSupportedException.
-
Fixed Bug 1004: Copying an album where images do not have an optimized version
cause those images to appear twice in the new directory, and would appear as new,
distinct images during the next synchronization.
- .NET 2.0 Compatibility:
Added "WebControls" namespace alias to using statement in createalbum.aspx.cs for
Microsoft.UI.WebControls to avoid namespace collision with TreeNode and TreeNodeCollection
classes in .NET 2.0. Prefixed each TreeNode and TreeNodeCollection variable declaration
with WebControls namespace alias. This change allows the solution to be imported
into a .NET 2.0 solution and compile without error. A similar change was not needed
in transferobject.aspx.cs even though it also uses the Treeview control because
all references to it are qualified with the full namespace.
