Chasr 2.0.1 is now available for download. Notes on this release:
- Fixed description code.
- Minor default theme changes.
- Minor language changes.
- An improved caching system. Simply put, it makes the cache faster and smaller.
- The admin page has a new option to clear the entire cache. This is particularly useful if you’ve made a lot of changes on Flickr and want Chasr to show those new changes.

After a really, really, really long wait (sorry!) and some keyboard struggles (my keyboard broke on Tuesday; figures), Chasr 2 is finally here! You can download it now. While not even half of what I wanted it to be, it’s a pretty decent version. Here are some of the new features:
- Improved caching. The new caching system is really great. It knows what to cache and when to cache it.
- The new admin page. The new administrative page is where you set almost every preference (except the initial database preferences).
- More languages. Chasr ships with US English, British English, and Spanish. Please contact me if you’d like to translate Chasr into your language.
- New customization. A lot of the code in the theme is customizable.
- Favorites. A person browsing your site can add a photo to their favorites, and browse their favorites of your photos.
- Improved searching. The search page has been renovated and includes a couple of new options.
- New archive. The archives page has been renovated as well and includes options such as date posted and taken.
Despite all of the work that has gone into this version, there are a lot of things to be improved upon. Here are some things you’ll see in the coming months:
- Machine tags, as recognized by machinetags.org, will be supported in the future. Right now there aren’t really any applicable machine tags to be included with Chasr, so when useful tags are recognized by machinetags.org I’ll be sure to include support in Chasr.
- I have more work to do on displaying notes and adding new ones. This will probably come in the next few months.
- There aren’t any RSS feeds in this version; they will probably come in the next six months or so.
- The location archive was not finished in time for this release. This feature is a lot of work, but I’ll eventually finish it within the next six months.
- I discovered a better way to cache things a couple of days ago, and I’ll be sure to implement it within the next few weeks.
Overall, Chasr 2 is a big step up from the first version of Chasr, but it’s a bit disappointing because I had such high expectations. Regardless, I suggest that you enjoy Chasr. Feedback is always welcome as well.
