SecurityImages 5.2.0 in active development

Following the Preview of SecurityImages 5.2.0, I am currently developing a proof of concept using the Ajax library JQUERY
jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.
I want to allow generated captcha to be checked asynchronously without needing submit of whole page. This is a major complain since the beginning of SecurityImages, as currently users lost their entries in the form in case the captcha challenge get refused.
A lot more check are also done NOW in the Diagnostics page:
- Checking existence of system plugin,
- Ability to display the error message if any of each plugin in one click
- Reload count configured will be displayed,
- A way to create automated error reporting (cut and paste) for better support in my forums
AND
A new API inspired from recaptcha.net that will allow me to integrate new system in future without being limited to an image (why not having a flash or video in future?). This API fully use the Joomla! event system so less code to write for all 3rd party developers and less dependencies.
Stay tuned!

We lost, Colin (http://espresso.ts.uvic.ca/ from Canada) and I nearly one week on securityimages....
The package was installing fine on windows powered machine, but refuse to install fully on Linux kernel. I made it work by simply removing all space character in the XML deployment descriptor of Joomla/Mambo. I will give me more time to find a better solution...

The new version of com_securityimages is now working locally in my developer environment.
- Multi core enable (code developed to authorize many external core and versions). Today "core 1.1" and "freecap 1.4" are available...
- Reload button which allow the user to ask a new pictures if he is not able to recognize the characters in the pictures
- Possibility to generate different capctha size by adding a http parameter when asking for URL, ideal for a login component integration ;-) (I am also on it)
- Refactored code with a lot of tricks ;-) -> interesting to read for all people wanting to try PHP
- Sound support has been started...it is on the good way
What's open before delivery...
- The installer is not up to date, I have at least 400% more files than in release 1.1.X ... :-)
- The database schema has changed (one column more in DB) -> a migration path will be provided for all 1.1.X users
- I've broke an interface, or better said: if you do not change your code (understand install new version of akobook, akocomment, contact etc...), the reload function will not work, if you use the latest check() method, it will (I will provide new version for all components I am responsible)
This time I will test installation of component in my TEST and PROD Joomla environment...
Code already checked into CVS
Expect a release without sound support (depends if I have enough time) to beta tester at the end of the week end...

A captcha (an acronym for "completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart") is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to determine whether or not the user is human. The term was coined in 2000 by Luis von Ahn, Manuel Blum, and Nicholas J. Hopper of Carnegie Mellon University, and John Langford of IBM. A common type of captcha requires that the user type the letters of a distorted and/or obscured sequence of letters or digits that appears on the screen. Because the test is administered by a computer, in contrast to the standard Turing test that is administered by a human, a captcha is sometimes described as a reverse Turing test.

Hashcash is a proof-of-work system designed to limit email spam and denial of service attacks. It was proposed in March 1997 by Adam Back From Wikipedia read more here and here

I am proud to announce You that security images is now multi CAPTCHA core enable!
You can now choose in the admin panel between the core engine (I develop) and Freecap (a very nice GPL engine from Howard Yeend)
Advantages: You can run multiple core engine, or from various provider (it took me more time to do the Jooma admin panel than integrate the code).
| Plugins | versions | Admin panel | Results |
| core | 1.1 |  |    |
| Freecap | 1.4 |  | 
|
Code is already commited to CVS at Joomla
It wont be release before I finished the reload function and do some test. (below a screenshot of akocommentPlus)
-> I will need YOU soon dear beta tester :-)

I've made change in com_securityimages in order to scale the resulting picture (which is in login 75% smaller than in normal case).

Securityimages 5.1.1

 | This is an intermediate release before the new version 5.2.0 It solved the following major issues in version 5.1.0 |
BUG: logs table were not properly deleted after removing the component
BUG: securityimages was not installing at all in Joomla! 1.5.8 but properly in previous version.
The error has been found, it was my fault, I was incorrectly having 2 xml installer with the same name!
- File A in {ziproot}/securityimages.xml for installing the main component
- File B in {ziproot}/plugin/securityimages.xml for the system plugin configuration/install
So it seems that Joomla! previous to 1.5.8 was searching or ordering zip file entries differently...
In previous versions (before 1.5.8), Joomla! found the file A, and install was a success, while in Joomla! 1.5.8 it just found file B and failed to install the main component part.
Now my solution has been to zip the system plugin in an additional zip file plugin.zip that will get unpacked at install time in /plugins/system/
I've tested the install with the following version of Joomla! 1.5.5, 1.5.6, 1.5.7 and 1.5.8
