Play movies
For some time creating online galleries with movies was already possible. New is that the Arles Image Explorer now supports playing movies. To make movies stand out from normal images they are now shown with a special Movie icon in the lower right corner:
To play a movie open the image viewer and click the "Play Movie" button in the center of the screen:
If you are having problems playing movies (you usually get a warning where it says to make sure the correct codecs are installed) try installing the K-Lite Standard package:

A codec is the piece of software required to play a movie in the Windows Media Player or Arles. The K-Lite standard package is a collection of codecs which will allow you to play most movie formats on your computer.
Crop to fit options window
Arles has had a crop to fit option on the Thumbnails tab of the Web Page Creator window for some time. It will make the image fit exactly the specified thumbnail height and width by cropping off edges that don't fit. New is that you can now specify the crop position. Set the both horizontal and vertical positions to 50% if you want the center of the image to remain. If the important areas of your images are located at the top, set the vertical position to 0%.
