I'm releasing something new and different today - a PHP library for generating SVG graphs. The full details are on the SVGGraph page, and you can download it from the downloads section. It's a bit rough around the edges at the moment, but it is usable.

JPEG Saver 3.3 is available! This version has a few interesting changes, the most important being a big change to how the caching works. Now folders are checked for modifications when JPEG Saver starts up, and re-scanned for files if they have been modified. The cache is now not cleared when you configure unless you change the list of folders (or click the new button that clears the cache).

The second change is to the "Random" change mode - some people reported that it didn't seem random enough, so I've replaced my hacky random number function with Boost's Mersenne twister algorithm. If you still aren't happy with the way "Random" works, I'd suggest trying "Shuffled" instead.

The final change is to multi-monitor support - I've finally got around to displaying something on the non-primary monitors. Now they will show the previous image when new one is displayed on the primary.
