JungleDragon Alpha revision 2 is now deployed to the staging environment: http://staging.jungledragon.com

This release brings the following changes and fixes:

• When using the "View Sizes" option to view images in their large or original format, part of the image will be cropped when the image is larger than your browser window. This is now fixed.
• JungleDragon now also records and display the FocalLength EXIF parameter if available in your images. This change only works for images you upload as of now
• You now get extra karma for uploading an image that includes EXIF data
• You now get extra karma for uploading high resolution images. For each 1000 pixels on the dominant axis (depending on image orientation) you get 5 extra karma points. There is a maximum to this extra reward so there is no need to upload insane resolutions.
• Fixed a bug in the karma log: It was limited to show only the 200 most recent entries. Now it shows all of them, albeit paginated like before.
• On the homepage, all thumbs are now in a fixed width box that makes the layout more consistent when portrait and landscape images are mixed in one overview
• Typo in FAQ fixed, some other pages updated.
• Firefox now also shows shadows around specific images (such as the main image on the homepage)
• Before, when you had only a very small karma progress bar in the header, it was too small to trigger the tooltip that displays you karma score. This is now fixed, you can hover the entire bar for this tooltip, no matter at what % of the level you are.
• Some images showed "Edited 40 years ago". This happens after editing the license of an image. This is now fixed. You may need to edit and save old images where this is still the case.
• Already fixed in Alpha rev 1 but now confirmed: There are images that do not have a tag yet do not appear in the "Untagged" overview. This too happens when the license of the image is edited. This was fixed in Alpha rev1 but you need to edit and save the old images to see the fix.
• Auto completion is now disabled for certain forms where this is insecure, for example the "Change email" form.
• I was using a hacky plugin to control the styling of the upload control but it has unwanted side effects. For example IE8 has a new security "feature" that shows "fakepath" in the upload control instead of the real path you selected. I decided to drop the styling hack. The upload control now uses the default rendering of your browser/OS combination. It is less consistent with the styling of the rest of the upload form but at least it is more robust.
• I have undone the change of Alpha rev1 where I stopped using tables for tag formatting on the "Tags" page. The tables are back. For the "picture" display mode of the Tags page I switched to 2 columns instead of 3. The image counters are slightly better too. In a next revision I will likely improve the Tags page even further.

Combined with the changes from Alpha revision 1, this solves the majority of the findings so far. Nevertheless, there are things left to do. On to developing Alpha revision 3!
