Good news guys and gals...

There's a new beta going to appear here tomorrow or so, with the following features...

+ Categories
can now have inheritable settings defining the appearance of categories/links (i.e. you can change the appearance setting per category), including having different new/not new display icons
+ Email notifications to moderator when link submitted/to user when accepted
+ "Featured Sites" (=selected users' favourites)
+ Final tweaks to User Profile integration
+ Linkbits
New linkbit available (intended for photolibraries)
Option to display multiple columns across some linkbits
General tidying up of linkbit templates (icons, layout)
+ Thumbnail images generated whenever possible during link creation/edit, rather than on the fly.
'thumbs_dir' indicates where these thumbnails are stored
Images generated using 'resample' algorithm rather than resize algorithm to obtain better image quality
+ Admin settings page restructured into groups and new admin settings and permissions added:
'default_style' - style to use for whole LDM board
'moderate_email_submit' and 'moderate_email_accept' - enables confirmation emails
'cat_icon' and 'cat_icon_new' - alternative category icons
'cat_cols_display' and 'link_cols_display' - vary columns of categories/links
'can_link_files' - usergroups has permission to add urls (sister to can_upload_files)
'featured_user_faves' and 'featured_sites' - controls over featured sites

Bugs fixed
> 'Report bad link' works correctly
> Phrased the admin xml file
> LDM checks for some valid mimetype information for Jukebox files
> Improved image quality of thumbnails
> 'Scan' code re-written to behave more consistently

Hope you're happy.
