A look at Chasr 2

I don�t have a release today, so I thought I�d give a little preview of what I�m working on for the next version of Chasr. Here�s a list of things that I�m currently developing.

Improved caching. The new caching system is really great. It knows what to cache, when to cache it, and more; even when Flickr is not available, Chasr can still work.
A new admin page. The new administrative page allows you to control the database and caching.
More languages. On release, Chasr will ship with US English, British English, and Spanish.
New customization. The language will be customizable, along with the headings for each particular bit of code.
Machine tag support. Machine tags, as recognized by machinetags.org, will be supported.
Favorites. One can add a photo to one�s favorites, and browse one�s favorites of your photos.
Notes. Notes on photos will be viewable (and if I can finish it, one will be able to add notes too).
Improved searching. The search page has been renovated and includes a couple of new options.
RSS feed for recent photos. There will be at least one RSS (and ATOM) feed shipped with Chasr, and that one will be recently uploaded photos.
New archive. The archives page has been renovated as well and includes options such as date posted, date taken, and where a photo was taken.

If you�re interested in playing with pre-release versions, or translating Chasr into your language, contact me.
