Add xxx_installer::upgrade($version) method so that upgrade stanzas are separate from install stanzas. In the old code, to do an upgrade meant that you had to re-evolve everything from the initial install because we'd step through each version's changes. But what we really want is for the initial install to start off in the perfect initial state, and the upgrades to do the work behind the scenes. So now the install() function gets things set up properly the first time, and the upgrade() function does any work to catch you up to the latest code. See gallery_installer.php for a good example.
ABOUT: Gallery 3 is a web based software product that lets you manage your photos on your own website. You must have your own website with PHP and database support in order to install and use it. With Gallery you can easily create and share albums of photos via an intuitive interface. SECURITY (& INTENDED AUDIENCE): This is the first beta release of Gallery 3.0 and while it's not a finished product, it's heading into the home stretch. You can install it on public websites, but remember that until the final release is out, we make no guarantees that it won't do bad things. Note: - We've contracted a professional security audit, received their results and resolved all the really dire issues they found. There are still some issues, but they are more along the lines of "you should ask for the old password as a confirmation when you let users change their password". Ie, they're issues but they're not really bad. We'll take care of them before the final release. - Most of the key features are in, but some of them (notably the "add from server" and "organize album" features) are probably going to be completely rewritten. - Starting with beta 1 we're going to offer an upgrade path so you won't have to reinstall and start all over (yay!) The intended audience of this release is folks who are willing to live a little bit on the edge. We'll do our best to take care of your data and your security, but we might screw it up here or there. We welcome theme and module developers to play with this release and start turning out slick new designs for our happy users. Did you find a security flaw?
