I was long under the impression that images (media files) had a history --now it seems that media files in history are erased after a while -- when a new one is loader over? Isnt this a vandalism or security (to the end user) risk?
They're only removed if someone deletes a version explicitly (which should be disabled atm) or there's some dreadful bug (which is possible).
I checked the logs. There's no mystery here, the person who uploaded the new photos simply deleted the old revisions with the handing "del" button. It seems this was not disabled, only complete deletion of images.
Until this portion of the code is rewritten (which it desperately needs), I've set it to only allow sysops to delete image revisions.
