Release Notes
Please see the
WPG2 Release Notes for a detailed list of changes.
Known Issues
Changes made to the way Wordpress hashes it's passwords in 2.5 are not compatible with Gallery2 2.2 (Will be fixed in Gallery2 2.3) WPG2 can only make the Wordpress password compatible with Gallery2 after you have logged off the wordpress user and logged back in.
HTML Tags in Gallery Album Descriptions and Titles can cause Lightbox to break and or the ALT tag to incorrectly display. Try to avoid HTML tags until WPG2 3.1
