This is officially last version of the old 1.9 branch of GD Star Rating plugin. This version is improving plugin security with additional filtering of all AJAX received voting and rendering requests. GDSR 2.0 development is well under way, with public alpha expected in about 3 weeks.
New GD Star Rating, version 1.8.6 has just been released. This is minor update only that fixes the problem with jQuery 1.4 that is part of the WordPress 3.0, and more strict parsing of the JSON that is returned after voting. Also, minor thumbs loader problem is fixed.
There a hundreds and even thousands plugins for WordPress available for free, and that’s one of the truly great things about WordPress. But, only a fraction of that number is actually supported by the authors. And there is a good reason why is that.
As promised, I have began work on new type of ratings, called recommendations or thumbs up/down or like it/not like it. There are many names for it, but they all point to the same thing. But to make this even better I will need help from you.
The number of websites using GD Star Rating is growing everyday and not all of them are using default templates, or star sets or visual concepts. So, I would like to include some of the websites here, on the new Showcase page I have set.
