I am pleased to announce, on behalf of the Zenphoto team, the release of Zenphoto 1.1.
It's been a long time coming, but at last it's here. We hope you enjoy it! Please feel free to add comments here, or submit any issues you experience on the bugtracker.
I'd like to congratulate all those who contributed to the release, especially Stephen (sbillard), Mark (aitf311) and Malte (acryllian). You guys did an excellent job and the final product is superb.
Enjoy! Thanks, everyone, for your patience.
Now, I point you to my blog post, where I wrote more about the release:

Yes! It looks great! Zenphoto just got better! Very useful new features. Thx Trisweb & friends.
Thanks Team for keeping zenphoto alive and kicking!
and blogged...
aitf311: I think I worded that poorly, as someone else called it out to me as well. What I was really talking about is desire to have a way to override the automatically generated thumbnail (which I carelessly called "random" but is really the center point of the image...and is rarely a good representation of the image...at least as far as my gallery displays).
sbillard & aitf311: I think you both still get robbo wrong. I think he means that he wants the possibility to set thumbnails squares for every single image manually, so that for example the thumbnail of image one uses the upper left corner and the thumbnail of image 2 the bottom right corner while he can set the size of this square manually, too.
I encountered the need for this by a client, too, and think that we should set this as a To Do for 1.2
I use Pixelpost too, this has exactly this feature. You can crop any thumb in any cropsize you want on the admin-tab.
I checked and they use 12cropimage.js for this.

Thanks guys - ZP is an amazing piece of software that worked almost exactly as I needed out of the box - and it was very easy to hack in the new functionality that I required.
Hats off to the developers - you've done a brilliant job!
