  • Now uses htmlspecialchars() to clean titles instead of htmlentities(), the latter of which was causing excessive translation of German characters. Thanks Stefan Geens, for pointing this out.
  • Form now generates valid XHTML 1.0 strict.
  • Now can use image thumbnails instead of camera icons. Thanks for the idea Nicolas Hoizey.
