Requirements
Controversy
In 2010, Gallery announced the use of some proprietary Adobe tools to build some components of Gallery 3 in Adobe Flash. Several users expressed great concern that proprietary software was being used in an open-source project and that Flash components were being included in an open-source package. A rebuttal to the controversy included a disclosure that Adobe Flash objects had previously been used for file uploading functionality in Gallery only seemed to further ignite the controversy.[http://gallery.menalto.com/thanks_adobe_flash_builder Thanks Adobe!] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101126022631/http://gallery.menalto.com/thanks_adobe_flash_builder |date=November 26, 2010 }} Retrieved on November 29, 2010. In 2019 Gallery 3.1.0 was released which replaced the Flash-based uploader with modern open source code.
Revival
In June 2013 the developers of Gallery 3 released version 3.0.9 code-named "Chartres" and in June 2014 announced that they would suspend further development of Gallery 3.{{cite web|url=http://galleryproject.org/time-to-hibernate|title=Gallery is going into hibernation|website=galleryproject.org|access-date=June 30, 2014|archive-date=June 25, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140625114838/http://galleryproject.org/time-to-hibernate|url-status=live}} The GPL license allowed for continued development by others or the creation of a fork of Gallery based on the existing code. In 2019 a group of long-time Gallery 3 users developed and released Gallery 3.1.1 to keep the program viable on servers running PHP 7 and 8 which also included additional technical and feature improvements. Version 3.1.5 of Gallery 3 was released on November 14, 2021.
