cpg1.5.1 alpha - testers wanted
+ 28 July 2009
There has been an alpha release of cpg1.5.1 for a closed group of testers (not available for all users). If you want to participate in testing cpg1.5x, please read the thread cpg1.5.1 alpha: how to become a tester to figure out if you can apply for tester group membership.
Maintenance release cpg1.4.25 - upgrade recommended
+ 22 June 2009
The Coppermine development team is releasing an update for Coppermine in order to fix an issue with the http upload feature for particular versions of PHP.The fix is not security-critical, so if your gallery is running fine with cpg1.4.23 or cpg1.4.24 you don't need to upgrade. If you are running an older version than cpg1.4.23, you must update to this latest version as soon as possible because of the security impact (the past few maintenance releases before cpg1.4.23 all were security-related).

Plugin-Downloads for cpg1.4.x
+ 17 March 2009
Coppermine comes with a plugin API that enables plugin authors to modify coppermine features without hacking the core code, making upgrading easier, as modifications don't have to be re-applied every time you upgrade your coppermine version. It's recommended to use plugins instead of code modifications that require hacking the core code. As a courtesy to end users we have bundled all plugins that we're aware of and added them to the downloads page, into a special plugins download section. It contains all plugins from the cpg1.4 plugin contributions as of today (2009-03-16) except for the plugins that are being hosted and developed on cpg-contrib.org.
