    Channel Images 3.2 has been released!
    Get it at http://www.devdemon.com/store/detail/channel_images/

    This update includes several bug fixes as well as a complete re-write to the stored images feature. Stored Images now searches all Channel Images fieldtypes respectfully within an ExpressionEngine site for re-use. The new implementation is now built right in the page and no longer uses a popup feature.

    Channel Images 3.2
    * Redesigned the Stored Images feature
    * Linked/Reused images have a seperate “Unlink” icon instead of an Delete icon
    * Fixed a bug where assigned categories could not be removed
    * Fixed a bug where you could not remove the “Cover” status of an image

    We have been deep in the DevDemon dungeon brewing up another big update for Channel Images and it has arrived! Channel Images 5.2 includes many new highly demanded features that will sure to make you smile.

    The big highlight is the new Hybrid Upload for HTML5. If the browser supports HTML5, multi-upload will now process through it instead of flash. If the browser is older it will fall back to Flash.

    Channel Images now also supports multiple fields in the same publish form. You can now have multiple galleries in the same entry!  We have also changed the core to support Better Workflow and ExpressionEngine’s new Rich Text Editor (EE 2.5+).

    Here is the full change log:

      ADDED: Hybrid Upload! If your browser supports HTML5 Upload, the new HTML5 File API will be used, if not Flash based upload will be used. Completely transparent!
      ADDED: Multiple Channel Images fields are now allowed in the same publish form!
      ADDED: Better Workflow Integration
      ADDED: ExpressionEngine Rich Text Editor tool for Channel Images (EE 2.5+ Only)
      ADDED: Native fieldtype parsing. You can now parse channel images by using it’s field name in exp:channel:entries. Example: {my_ci_field cover_only="yes"} ALL CI Variables and Parameters {/my_ci_field}
      ADDED: CDN URI Override option for Rackspace CloudFiles
      ADDED: The Image Actions in the Fieldtype Settings are now more compact
      ADDED: Crossdomain detection warning
      ADDED: Garbage Collection on temp upload dirs
      ADDED: Deleting the Channel Images field will also delete all images on the server associated with that field.
      BUG: If you removed all Actions groups, adding a new action group would not work
      BUG: In IE8 uploading failed if the flash file was loaded from cache
