To which one are you referring?
The original one is updated to cvs.

I was thinking of asking the same as Adrian, it's just that following
drupal-dev one gets the impression that a lot has been going on with
image.module. At least with threads like this anyway:
<http://drupal.org/node/view/5007>


Yes, there is a lot going on. But unfortunately, it is not well organized.

There is now the "official" version, which got updated to use file.inc.
There is a version in Gordon's sandbox, which does some image resizing on
upload, and there is the version in jayajero's sandbox which is split up
in several files (which is a good idea).

I agree with you, it is not organized at all.
The version in my sandbox is an experiment, that I will be maintaining for the moment, but I'd like to see it merged with the "official version". Otherwise, I could create a different module -if I see more people interested- or eventually drop it. I'm not sure about it.


I'm about to roll out a couple of sites using it too, I was a little
worried about breakage if major changes are made to the module.
But it looks like thats not the case?


I'd stick with the official version. it may have some less features but it
is maintained and I believe the development can still be re-united.


This is a good advice. Anyway, my version is intended to be database-level compatible with the original image module, so It will be a drop-in replacement.
