EnterMedia 6.285 September release highlights.

- We have expanded the available options for viewing results sets with the addition of two new views:

• Audio View: This view is designed for use with audio catalogs and includes an mp3 player for each result on the page.
• Download View: This view is primarily designed for use with albums/galleries but can be used for any result set. It allows users to select all/none/some of the results set by clicking checkboxes, and then download those assets in bulk. It also allows for downloading type and size converted versions of assets directly from the results page.

- We have also added a new interface for adding/removing assets from albums. This can be accessed by the actions menu in the icon bar for each asset in a results set. This allows you to add or remove assets from albums without navigating away from the results page.

- Users can now also add an entire page of results to an album through the Results menu.

- On the back-end, we are changing from Prototype to jQuery and have begun changing all of our code to use this new library.

- Previously we used both lightbox and thickbox for pop-up dialog areas. We are now using only Fancybox for displaying preview images and other screens that needed to be in their own pop-up windows.

- Our logging system has been improved to log more types of events including multi-record edits. These improved log reports are now searchable from the Reports tab if you are using the "darktabs" layout in Themes.

- The Themes concept has been expanded to allow custom themes to apply to areas outside of the EnterMedia webapp, and we have added more example themes based from old OpenEdit layouts.

- We have improved and expanded CSS use for many of the pages in EnterMedia. This should make it easier for users designing custom themes to find and alter style properties for their site.

- For those wishing to use a database back-end instead of XML, SQL support has been updated and reimplemented to work with the newest version of our code.

- We found that we needed to include more testing as part of our EM500 certification of our releases, that has already begun and will be implemented in the October 15 release. Thanks to a few EnterMedia community users for helping us with this new and improved test.
