SmugMug releases - Sept, Oct, Nov 2006
We’ve been so swamped with a certain big, massive, new feature I haven’t been keeping this blog up-to-date. I’m very sorry about that.
We’ve had probably 6-8 small releases in the last 2.5 months, many of which were extensive updates to the help sections, but here’s a short list of some of the bigger changes:
- Pros who use the “proof-delay” feature can now modify certain settings, such as cropping and color correction, before the order is sent out.
- Ending your free trial and paying for your account got much easier. You can do so from your homepage or your control panel billing section. Sorry about the confusion before!
- New image uploading backend that’s significantly more reliable and less error-prone.
- Notification emails on uploads that are CMYK or use non-sRGB color profiles, like ProPhoto and Adobe98.
- Fixed some cases where “replace photo” wasn’t working properly. This is especially useful for Pros using the “proof-delay” feature.
- Added a new Google Custom Search Engine to our help sections, which searches our new Wiki, relevant dgrin posts, our blogs, and the help sections at the same time.
- Created and worked on the SmugMug Wiki. Go participate!
- Created Andy’s FAST Start for Pros
- Released some important new updates to the API.
- Lots of datacenter goodies to speed up your access and increase reliability. We’re now over 6Gbps in aggregate bandwidth available, with more coming soon.
There were plenty of other, smaller changes, lots of new videos and help pages added, and other polished things. I may have to turn this blog over to Ben, instead, since I’m clearly dropping the ball with keeping everyone up-to-date. Apologies!
Oh, and if you want a sneak peek at our big new feature, you’ll have to keep an eye on the Beta page at our Wiki.
