Current Media Gallery Development Branch Documentation

This page will temporarily house all the changes / fixes and improvements to the current development branch. Once each development branch moves to production, the documentation will be moved to the main Media Gallery wiki pages.

Media Gallery v1.6.1 is currently in development. Version 1.6.1 will be a bug fix release only, with the possibility of a few minor feature enhancements.

As the development continues, I will keep this page updated.
