GD Star Rating 1.5.2
Another minor revision after 1.5.1 is here. And again, I am proven to be bad in testing my own code, since I missed few errors. Also, there were many problems with importing data from other rating plugins, and that is also fixed in this release.
The Road Ahead
With GD Star Rating 1.5.0 week away, this post will outline the features this plugin will get in the future. Most of the things I wanted do do is already done, but still there are many things that you can expect. List of features is split into two parts.

GD Star Rating 1.4.6 is released. This release is mainly intended for bug fixing, but there are some new things also. This release is most likely last one in 1.4.x line. And GD Star Rating 1.5.0 will be released next week. Before that lets focus on this one.
Optimization Guide #1
I know, GD Star Rating has a lot (or maybe too many) settings. But that’s what it takes to make a plugin that can be customized to the extent this plugins does. But, all that will require some tweaking and optimizations for better performance.
Settings Explained Part 5.
Last few versions of the plugin have introduced many changes, and settings have changed as well. Most important are two fully new features used for setting spider bot’s and stars sizes and sets that will be added to main active rating CSS file.
Settings Explained Part 1.
Plugin has so many settings that I understand that sometimes it can be difficult to see what each of the settings is exactly doing. So, this is the first post in which I will try to explain all settings. Most of the settings are self explanatory.
GD Star Rating 1.5.1
And now for something completely different. New version of GD Star Rating. I have finally completed very difficult task on optimizing the plugin and number of SQL queries executed. I wanted to include this in 1.5.0, but I needed few more days.
