1) All templates are now in the DB and editable from the admin panel then cached to prevent any extra resource usage all while making things easier

2) The templates/pages/ directory is now in the DB and cached just like the templates. There will also be a tool written soon to allow you to quickly add custom pages.

3) VIDEO ADS! There will now be an option to have what is called pre-roll video ads. Upload the ad to your /ads directory and then go into the ads admin panel. Default is to display one of the ads 20% of all video loads. You can modify this in playlist.php and find the part that has rand(1,5) think of this at an ad showing 1 out of every 5 times. Only modify this 5. If you want 1 in 10 loads to get the add simply change the 5 to a 10.

4) Performance analysis tool that can tell you how many queries were on that pageload and how long it took for the page to load and will look like this in the footer: MySQL Queries: 4 Execution time: 0.0568780899048

5) link to RSS feeds in the footer (page.php?page=rss) this page exists in 1.5.5 and even earlier versions but the link simply got lost

6) An export_adult.php for your sites! This will only work with .flv files which YOU are hosting. What it does is it creates a special feed for other ES users to be able to quickly import your embed codes. The tool for importing other peoples embed codes did NOT make it out yet. There will be a mod available in a few days for anybody who wants to use this.

7) User submitted EMBED codes

8) Video duration/length support. Any video hosted by you if you have ffmpeg-php support your DB will update the second you try to add a movie. Anybody using my feeds I will have a tool ready soon that will update your currently imported vids with the length.

9) New box where the "featured" media is displayed. This has been supported in the DB for quite a while so some of you have already been selecting which movies you want to feature. This is the first time the stock release has included a place for this. there are some sites out there that used a template mod to display these previously.

The forum works again but did NOT gain any functionality, this has simply been fixed.
The news page did NOT make it back yet either.

I will be building an ES site search engine that will be an opt-in system and will be making SEO archives to build extra links for all of you so that all these footer links coming into ES will be able to funnel some links back to you guys.

Everybody asking about embed codes from some of the big tube sites I am getting an ADDON together which will support this. I'm not sure exactly which sites will be supported when I release this and I'm not sure when exactly I'll be releasing it but you can expect me to put it out and then add support for even more sites as I find the time.

I'm glad to hear it I think the site is great as it is I think once this is out of beta it will be a perfect script.

I'm wanting to work in a bunch of community type tools like basic user blogging and various tools specific to the registered members. Obviously these tools won't be used by most people but building those kind of tools will be a focus once I finish making parts of the site just easier to use and administrate.

As far as improving performance even more I'm finding that there really aren't many more queries that make sense to cache but there are at least 2 that I can think of that could be cached but will be quite a bit of work to do so.

I'm looking around for a pre-made function for BBCODE handling but I'm not really sure how many improvements are going to come to the built in forum this time around.

At this point I'm not positive what other features will make the cut for this release and what won't but if you guys come up with some ideas for features let me know, I've done alot of coding this week and the feature cutoff for V1.6 will probably be Wednesday. After that I am going to just clean up any bugs for features currently included and get this out as a beta for you guys by the end of next week.

I was shooting for having beta 1 available tonight but sadly it doesn't look like I'm going to make it. I got stuck with some support tickets and other work that distracted me from getting this update together as quickly as I was hoping to.

I have been spending more time simply restructuring code than I was planning on. What I'm doing right now is trying to get together every DB mod I believe I'm going to want/need for the life of the 1.6x so that even when 1.6.1 comes around I'll be able to slide in some various features that couldn't get fit into V1.6

I'm planning on Friday night sometime for a release to beta testers, get on my ICQ list if you want in on this beta! I won't be around much tomorrow(thursday) so that is why this will happen on friday.
