Lots of people use and recommend SimpleGal here—in fact, it was originally created for a user here—which boosts my ego no end.
So, let's all have fun and test the beta of SimpleGal 3.0!
It's a 99% rewrite of the last version; although visually it's fairly similar, under the hood and in terms of administration it's a very different beast. It should be faster, more feature-filled and generally lots better than 2.x was.
If you run SimpleGal 2.x, backup the contents of your galleries dir, delete everything else (including your config.php), upload 3.0 and then copy the old galleries contents into the albums directory. Probably best not to delete the old XML files, as I plan to write an upgrade script sometime before the actual 3.0 release.
Go here and download whatever it says is the latest version
Installation instructions are at the under-construction site here; general usage should be pretty self-explanatory I think. Enjoy! Test! Give feedback! Post feature suggestions! Rant and rave about how it slaughtered your entire family the moment you uploaded it!
Things that are already on my todo list:
(I hope posting this at nearly 4:30 in the morning won't hamper its viewing, and reserve a free bump tomorrow evening accordingly)

Things that are already on my todo list:
- Make cache purging a bit more intuitive, although I'm not quite sure how to do this. As it stands, if you create an album or upload an image manually—that is through any means other than the web interface—you have to manually purge the cache, something which is pretty unintuitive. I can think of a couple of good ways to counter this and will see which works best.
