PennAve, the web gallery application that works in conjunction with F-Spot released version 0.4 today. This newest release brings a slew of new   features including:

• New user interface
• Better support for internationalization
• Improvements to splash intro page
• Use of the much improved CherryPy 3.0
• Option for server side rendering of HTML
• Canvas tag support for intro pages
• A slew of little bug fixes

I haven’t gotten my personal gallery running this newest version yet, but I hope to do so in the next few days. In the mean time, if you use PennAve, I highly recommend checking out this package for sharing your photos online. With it, publishing a nice web gallery is as simple as running rsync. PennAve natively utilizes copies of your F-Spot data files, leaving very little additional work or tools for you. Just create a tag called “Public” and start tagging photos that you want share. All while retaining complete control over the presentation of your photos.
