The 6th generation of this product, includes a lot of major enhancements such as flash uploader, ajax style management, 4 new presentations, Geotag & Google Maps support ...

An important difference between version 5 and version 6 is, in UMG 5, we sell 9 additional presentations in a bundled offer called “Generic Presentation Pack”, which is an add-on that requires you to install separately, in UMG 6, we no longer offer Generic Presentation Pack, instead there are 2 editions of UMG: Standard Edition and Professional Edition, the professional edition includes all extra presentations while the standard edition includes UMG Classic, Headline and SmoothGallery.

Below are major enhancements in UMG 6, the minor changes are not documented.

    The UMG-FreeContentList module is used to replace the UMG-TopPhotos module in prior versions, this module integrated numerous 3rd party javascript libraries like jQuery Cycle, Highslide, jQuery scrollable, Space gallery, actually you can use them as extra html presentations for your galleries.
