V6.5

New Features (Mostly from J.J. Frister -- THANKS!)
[*]Multiple "viewing" levels. Based on authentication type, but generally can specify "Anyone," "Member," or "Owner" at upload time. Only the specified users will be able to see the image.
[*]Moving/Deleting links only moves/deletes the link, not the actual photo.
[*]Views are now moved with the object
[*]The following slideshow changes:
[*]Will go into slideshow mode even if popups are blocked via Mozilla, Firefox or ZoneAlarm settings -- if popups are blocked, the browser window is still the regular one, rather than the borderless one.
[*]Returns you to the regular view of last photo seen in the slide show when you close the slideshow.
[*]Degrades nicely if Java is disabled - same result as when popups are blocked.
[*]Fits vertical photos into the screen height if you have ImageMagick installed
[*]Uses the Photo_album.css settings for back-ground of the slideshow
[*]Behaves the same way wether you start from album.pl?photo=... or from album.pl?slideshow=5;photo=...
[*]Fullscreen slideshows no longer have a body margin.

[*]Added the ability to rename the (system) file or directory when moving.
[*]Base script has been chopped into multiple modules.
[*]Added module path configuration variable.
[*]Can now handle JPEG 2000 (jp2) files.
[*]If you view from a Windows platform, the site will ask you to install the Lurawave jp2 plugins.
