The main editor change affects how a gallery is inserted. Previously, selecting a gallery in the modal window placed a shortcode such as {gallery ID} in the article text. Version 1.2.0 instead displays all thumbnails from the selected gallery, making the gallery location and its contents visible while editing.
The release also adds an additional check when files are uploaded. The announcement does not specify the exact validation performed or describe the change as a security fix.
New display layouts
Two additional layouts have been added following a contribution from Joomla community member Dmitry K. (@kit2m2). These layouts display images without using a slider, giving site builders alternatives to the existing gallery presentation.
Finally, version 1.2.0 fixes gallery output in category blog views. The extension is intended for managing gallery files, image descriptions, and effects within each gallery, and can be used in Joomla articles or modules containing HTML.
