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.

There hasn’t been an update to Chasr in well over a month, let alone an update with new features. What gives?
I’ve been working on the next version of Chasr for many, many months now and I thought I would have it finished by this month; that’s not happening. The new version, with all of its improvements and new features, has taken a tremendous amount of time to develop.
I’ve determined that the next version of Chasr will be released on June 5th of this year (I’m not that slow!). I might cut back on one feature or two that I have stated before, but I don’t think that I will need to.
When the next version of Chasr is released, it will be the best way to put your Flickr photos on your own website. If you’d like to test an alpha version of Chasr 2, get in contact with me and I’d love to share it with you.

Chasr 1.3.4 is now available for download. Notes on this release:
- A character encoding issue on the sets page has been fixed.
Releases of Chasr 1 (such as this one) are only maintenance updates that are published as bugs are found and resolved. Chasr 2 will be a substantial upgrade and will be released in either this month or next month.

Chasr 1.3.3 is now available for download. Notes on this release:
- The htmlspecialchars_decode bug has been fixed; Chasr would throw errors in PHP versions less than 5.2
The 1.3 series of releases are the last of Chasr 1. The next version of Chasr will debut in a few weeks, with a release expected sometime in March or April.
The website is now functioning as it is supposed to; while moving hosts, I had a minor .htaccess issue that I didn’t figure out until today. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Chasr 1.3.2 is now available for download. Notes on this release:
- If your Flickr username is in UTF-8, the preferences file should be able to handle it. However, if you’re having problems right now, re-save your file as UTF-8 and it should work.
- Minor styling and code improvements included.
This series of releases marks the end of Chasr 1. The next few releases will be minor bug fix releases; no new development will show up until Chasr 2. One can expect Chasr 2 to debut in a couple of weeks, with a release sometime in March or April.

Finally, after many weeks of delay, Chasr 1.3 is now available for download. Notes on this release:
- Huge change in how themes are made. Be sure to read the documentation and if you have any questions contact me.
- Lots of general code improvements.
I’m looking for people who want to translate Chasr into their native language; I’m particularly interested in someone to check my Spanish localization and for someone to localize English as spoken in the United Kingdom. I’m expecting to release Chasr with localizations as early as March, so if you’d like your language to be one of the first to be released with Chasr, contact me and we’ll make sure your language is included.
