Release notes 

Wacs 0.7.0 is now here with lots of new features and many bug fixes. It's been a while coming but hopefully it's been worth the wait - the key new features are:

* New web-based Model Manager application
* New Locations based filtering
* New connections infrastructure

and of course numerous bug fixes. While the 0.6.x series saw massive changes to the retrieval system and menus, the 0.7.x series sees more focus placed on the collection managment tools. The objective is to make much more of the process web based and thus more accessible than the command line and SQL based tools currently required. The first big step on the way to this is the Model Manager application which is introduced here. Still to come are set rating and association tools and set unpacking tools which will appear in the future releases of the 0.7.x series.

Other new innovations are the connections system and the Locations based filtering. The connections system is a new infrastructure which is designed to power our implementation of Galleries - a much more flexible and dynamic version than most of the other systems out there. There's also the location system which allows selection of photo sets based upon the type of location in which the set was shot; again a pretty unique innovation.

Enjoy!
Cheers, Beaky.
