My questions are....
1- What are the updates from  1.7.6 too 1.8.2?
2- I have made a couple of the changes listed PIMP YOUR GALLERY TUT!!. Will I need to to use a package parser to update my gallery?
3- How would I change the category index from a single column index too having 3 columns?
4- Is it possible to add passwords to the categories?

Thanks all I an think of at the moment.. Thanks to anyone that can answer any of these questions.
