Beta Update: Profile, Album and Photo Privacy

We’ve been hard at work not only fixing bugs, but also trying to add what people have been asking for.

We knew Privacy was important, but hearing your feedback helped us to prioritize - so now, we’ve got a great start for profile, album and photo privacy in place on the beta website.  Numerous fixes and optimizations have been added in as well, including:

• Xcache: prevents unnecessary ‘compilation’ of PHP scripts
• Memcached: prevents redundant hits to our database
• mod_deflate: reduces page size by compressing web page content

Fun stuff!
