I hate when the bug is found only hours after release, and I hate the fact that I missed the obvious problem. But, things like that happen occasionally, and I have already fixed the problem, and the new GD Star Rating 1.7.7 is released.
After two weeks from previous release, here is brand new 1.7.6. I finally managed to make changes to charting code, and replaced (very, very) slow pChart PHP charts with jQuery powered Flot charts. This and more is part of this latest release.
Few days ago, a new WordPress book has been released. Book is written by Chris Coyier and Jeff Starr and is available in PDF format, but the print version is expected soon. I have written book review, and you can win the free copy at Dev4Press website.
Few weeks ago, Lars Koudal from MyWordPress.com, contacted me about doing an interview with me on GD Star Rating, my other plugins and WordPress in general. So, we both finally found time to do that, and today Lars published the interview.
Last week I was very busy with other projects, so for this new release of GD Star Rating, you will get any fixed bugs. There were several bugs reported, and all now fixed. Few issues are still in works, so after I confirm the problems, they will be also fixed.
This is very important release for both new features and for several bugs fixed. I have fixed all reported issues since the previous release along with few bugs I noticed mostly with admin panels rarely used. And yeah, famous exceprt problem is now solved.
Back in may, Google announced the new feature for the search engine, called Rich Snippets. Using microformat or RDF you can add pieces of code that will Google find and use with search results. So, I decided to add support for rich snippets for both reviews and ratings.
Couple a days ago I started new website under the name res4WP that will be used to collect various WordPress related resources from all over the Internet. All posts will be categories and will have short description with url to the resource.
