GD Star Rating 1.8.5
New GD Star Rating, version 1.8.5 has just been released. This version has many improvements and changes, updates to T2 templates system, new tags, actions and filters. Thumbs voting rules are finally implemented properly. Also several bugs have been fixed.
GD Star Rating 1.8.4
Another minor, mostly maintenance release. Tool for bulk change of vote roles is improved to better reflect current rules usability. Several minor (or not so minor) bugs are fixed and new pre-render filter added to control some of the data displayed by the plugin.
New baseScape theme now active
I liked the previous eNews theme, but it had too many problems, it wasn’t really optimized and it caused too many problems over the past few months. So, website got new design yesterday with my own baseScape theme with brand new xScape theme framework.
GD Star Rating 1.8.3
I am working on GDSR 2.0, and many things will be changed there. But, one of those improvements is now part of this 1.8.x branch. Main javascript file for ratings is now completely rewritten and is no longer loaded as dynamic. Few more changes are part of this release.
GD Star Rating 1.8.2
It was almost a month since previous update, and almost no new problems reported. Few bugs reported (and confirmed) are now fixed. Also few more things are improved and changed, while I was working in integrating plugin in my upcoming theme framework.
xScape Theme Framework
For some time I am developing the new theme framework called xScape. This framework is now in the beta stages and very soon will be ready to go public. Two themes are now in development, and one is already functional (to a point), and will soon be used on this website.
Dev4Press Affiliates Program
Finally, Affiliate program is now open. Most important thing to know is the commission. For individual plugins and themes is 20% and for bundles is 25%. Also, you earn commission for recurring payments for all subscription, membership based purchases.
GD Star Rating 1.8.1
New maintenance release is here. It addresses several WordPress 2.9 issues and post edit panel, caused by datepicker control, several minor bugs and also a problem with percentage value for thumbs when no votes are recorded. Some translations are updated.
Website hacking issues
For some time now, every few days, this website is subject of some kind of injection attack. I made some changes to improve security, and I have installed Firewall plugin, upgraded and reinstalled the blog and all plugins but, attacks continue.
