The new photo galleries have come out today, a few hours late, but it was totally worth the wait! I've been personally waiting for some of these updates a while now, like:

• User Uploads
• Categories

But to quote from Haroon's blog, here is the new feature list:

• Social Publishing - your members can now add photos to the gallery.  Photos and albums display who posted them, and members can quickly navigate to their photos with the dropdown menu.
• Most Commented and Recent Photos - Two quick links for viewing photos across the gallery
• Comment View Count - Photos with comments now show the number of comments on their thumbnail images.  A quick way for browsers to find which photos are interesting and generating comments
• Categories - You can now arrange your albums into categories.  This extra level is great for sites with LOTS of albums.  As a hint, you can use this feature to create what looks like multiple galleries.  Simply add a specific category to your navbar and it will be a direct link to the albums within that category.  Categories also show in the sidebar of the photos app (like blogs and videos)
• Search - you can now search for photos within the gallery
• Paging on your gallery.  For those with a LOT of albums, the main gallery page used to be crazy because it didnt have pages.  Now, it does.

It's great stuff! Your galleries should automatically be updated and usable right away.
