Here is a new Beta revision for you to tests. And there are few very interesting things added, and still under development. Also, several reported problems are fixed. Eventually, this is a half way to official 1.6.2 release coming in the next few days.
First you will notice are several new panels. Some of them are under heavy development and still not available for public. But one of them is nearly completed, and will be mostly functional for 1.6.2. This new panel is called ‘My Ratings’ and all info on this panel will be based on data for current logged user. This panel is available for all user levels. There are 4 areas there: General (still in works), My Last 100 Votes (displays last 100 user votes), Votes for my posts (100 votes users posts received), Votes for my comments (100 votes users comments received).
Templates panel is changed and new tab is added where you can change templates dependencies. Before this you needed to create new versions of every default template to change dependencies, and this is not very straightforward. So, that’s now fixed. Also, when you edit templates, you can set some additional options that will cause setting template as default and to set template as dependent (if supported by template) to all other that depend on that same type. This will be covered in tutorial next week.
Many small bugs are fixed, so check out and try to find more of them. Download this revision here.

Do you think 1.6.2 will have a query_posts filter to let you select, for example, from votes cast in the past X days?
I’m using this right now:
query_posts("gdsr_sort=votes&gdsr_order=desc")But that gives the result for all time. I would love for just the most recent 7 days.
Thanks,
Erika

Query filters will be added in some of the next versions, not 1.6.2.

Data is available on user basis from the earliest versions last year, but this is first time to get the panel with this data.

Great! Really I love your job, and now spent time to read the CVS to spot the changes! As I think this is closely related, it will be also great to be able to get a function to display the vote of a certain user.
I’m currently trying Alkivia plugin, and I think it would be great to be able to add in the profile page of the user the last vote the user cast, and it will be nice way to do it, rather than duplicating part of your code.

There will be many functions for that, maybe not in 1.6.2, but over next few releases.

MillaN, could you implement the ability to mass remove settings across all blogs for WPMU users? In the mean time is there a query I could run to achieve this?

I still don’t have enough time for WPMU version. But, I plan to add centralized settings, but that’s still weeks away. Unfortunately I have very little free time, so things are not moving as fast as I would like.

in standard_render.php, function rating_wait(), on line 28 you have to insert “px” after $rater_length. Otherwise it causes CSS validation problem.
the line should be like:
$rater_length = $rater_length > 0 ? ” width: “.$rater_length.”px;” : “”;
