  that is you can show them by default, the visitors don't need to click the toggle button

- Paypal "View cart" button reported something's wrong with the user's site
- extra 20px gap above thumbnails when there were no folders
- Gray style's gradient was too dark on IE7-8

Changed:
- The minimum width for the Folder name has been set to 100px (70px before) so the skin will automatically switch to the "thumbnail above, text below" mode if less space has left next to the thumbnail (raise the number of columns - Settings / Pages / Columns - to see)

------------------------------------------------------

Version 2.1.11 Jan 9, 2012

New feature:

Fixed:
- Google Maps did not work in some cases
- thumbnail scroller has an extra 40px left margin
- .stop() on undefined element javascript error
- the header's bottom rounding is rough and visible on FireFox

------------------------------------------------------

Version 2.1.9 Dec 5, 2011

Fixed:
- Thumbnails did not show up on the first view but worked fine after a refresh (a timing issue)

(Also click "Show All" to see how to fix "Internal Error 500" if you made an album with Turtle 2.1.7 and hosted on a server not based on Apache)

------------------------------------------------------

Version 2.1.8 Dec 5, 2011

Modified:
- Removed .htaccess file from the skin, because it didn't work with all servers, and possibly could overwrite the user's own, previously added one. Those who experience "Internal Error 500" errors on their server don't need to regenerate the album however, just go into the "Upload / Manage" (Ctrl-M), Connect, click the wrench icon, and remove .htaccess file from the problem folder.

Info: .htaccess file was added in order to define the correct mime types (file handling by type) and to fine tune caching by file type. (E.g. JPG files can remain in the cache for longer times, while HTML files need to skip the cache.)

------------------------------------------------------

Version 2.1.7 Dec 1, 2011

Upgraded:
- jQuery to 1.7.1
- HTML boilerplate to 2.0

Fixed:
- Theme image is now stretched to fit the Title area
- Text color remained black on old Turtle 1.x albums when upgraded to 1.x (you should re-select the Black style to avoid this, but now the skin itself fixes it too)
- No centering on IE7 and 8 when border width was set 0
- Javascript error on IE7 and 8 (in jQuery)

------------------------------------------------------

Version 2.1.6 Oct 29, 2011

Fixed:
- Popups left on by mistake on mobile devices
- Wrong formatted encoded quote characters
- Fixed some validation errors. Now it validates as HTML5 (experimental), besides Meta tags required by Facebook share and Google +1 call code
- Google +1 button did not work in some cases

Updated:
- Italian translation by Giovanni D'Amico

------------------------------------------------------

Version 2.1.5 Oct 25, 2011

New features:
- You can use metadata in Caption templates, e.g. ${Iptc.City}

Fixed:

------------------------------------------------------

Version 2.1.4 Oct 13, 2011

New features:
- You can use jAlbum variables in the header and footer boxes, e.g. ${resPath}
- Download hint (Right click + Save link as...) added for the "Original" button

Fixed:
- Broken album when using apostrophe character in folder names (with URL encoding turned off)
- <b> <strong> <i> and <em> tags did not take effect in the comments

------------------------------------------------------

Version 2.1.3 Oct 11, 2011

New feature:
- Sharing options on the Info panel too. Please note, that not all sharing sites support links with hash, which is used by Turtle skin to link directly to the actual image. Even though Facebook will link to the actual image, it takes its thumbnail from the static page, that is it will use the Theme image, not the actual.

Fixed:
- Albums with "Link to original" used the high resolution images as thumbnail, resulting in slow page loads
- With transition type "Crossfade" the Zoom-in effect took place while in "Fit to screen" mode, causing slower transitions
- Better reference to album thumbnail that Facebook will like more, hopefully

------------------------------------------------------

New feature:
- Better touch control on Android devices

Updated:
- Italian translation by Giovanni D'Amico
- Finnish translation by Pentti Stenman
- French translation by Danamel
(The language updates were missing from the bundled version came with jAlbum 10.1, so install this version if you are using the languages above.)

Fixed:
- Background image is centered instead of stretched in FireFox 3.5 & 3.6
- Some styles had texts hard to read

------------------------------------------------------

Version 2.1.1 Sep 30, 2011

New feature:
- You can use formatting characters in the header and footer content, or leave it as is for HTML or Javascript content.
- Header and footer can be disabled on the sub pages

Fixed:
- Header content got lost after viewing it the first time
- Swipe gestures work now on Android devices

------------------------------------------------------

Version 2.1.0 Sep 29, 2011

New features:
- Added transition type: None (for the purists)
- You can add Header and Footer through the user interface
- Added option for displaying the folder description and image count along the folder thumbnails

Fixed:
- Audio loop didn't work
- Map did not work when the image caption template was empty
- Broken cross-fade transition (temporary blackout) on FireFox 5-7, due to a bug in FireFox's rendering engine
- Text color did not work on some places resulting in hard to read texts

Changed:
- The help button has been moved from the theme image area to the footer. No UI option for hiding it, as it's now hidden enough to bother anybody, I hope.

------------------------------------------------------

Version 2.0.4 Sep 27, 2011

New:
- Control for transition type (Cross fade and Cross fade + zoom currently) and speed on the Advanced panel

Fixed:

- Home and End button on keyboards with no dedicated Home and End buttons (NumPad)

Changed:
- ZoomIn effect between slides is disabled on touch devices for a bit smoother transition

------------------------------------------------------

Version 2.0.1

New feature:
- You can choose to hide the album description and show only on mouse over the album title (like 1.x)
- Added "Legacy Black" and "Legacy White" styles to mimic Turtle 1.x look

Fixed:
- IE7 thumbnail page look is fixed
- IE7-8 the start button is repaired

------------------------------------------------------

Version 2.0.0

- Support for touch interface
- Based on HTML5 / CSS3
- The thumbnail page can be both horizontally or verticaly split between the thumbnails and the theme image. Use portrait sized boundary to see.

UPGRADING FROM TURTLE 1.x ALBUM PROJECTS

Using Black or White stlyes, please re-select the style (not the skin), to allow the new background and text color settings be set. Without this you might end up in unreadable text.

You can also opt for the "Legacy" styles which were made to mimic the old (v 1.x) styles.

The following settings need attention when opening old projects, because they will be reset to their default values (in parentheses):

- Splash size (Image width x Image height * 0.66)
- Reduce Thumbs (2 / 3)
- Facebook Like button (no)
- Show photo data (no)

These changes were necessary because the skin's code has been rewritten to work with other upcoming skins.

Splash image is now referred as Theme image. You can select it by Right-click -> Use as folder image option.

The Location and Shop option data added manually in the Edit mode has changed names too, but you can apply the Tools / External Tools / Rename Slide Variables tool with the following parameters to keep them working in the new version: 
- _location = location
- _shopOptions = shopOptions

This change was necessary because jAlbum app has changed its handling of slide variables.

Besides the above changes the BlackBlue and BlackRed styles were removed, though tons of new styles were added at the same time.

The Shopping cart feature is only available for Premium or Power account holders and those who've bough the Pro license. Jalbum.net's past donators will also receive the Pro licence.
