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.
This is most likely last release of GD Star Rating in 2009. Next, 1.8.0 will be released in the first days of 2010. This time, there are only few changes in 1.7.9, more will come in 1.8.0. Also, work has started on the major release of GD Star Rating 2.0.0.
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 days ago, new major version of GD Press Tools is released. GD Press Tools 2.0 is a significant improvement over the previous versions with many new tools, cleaned up code, new design and colors and many changes, improvements and fixes.
There were several bugs reported in the last 6-7 days, and they are all fixed in this version. So, this is bug fixing release, nothing new is added. Other projects occupied my time, so I had no time to add new things to GD Star Rating.
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.
For the past 3-4 days I have been testing GD Star Rating on WPMU with BuddyPress. So, this post will be about this testing and the things I have noticed so far. But let me tell from the start, latest 1.5.7 works just fine with MPMU & BuddyPress.
This wasn’t really planned release, but I felt I need to add few more things before concluding the cycle with 1.6.0. Some of the things I need for the customizations I have been working right now, and you will get to read that in upcoming tutorials.
During the last few days after 1.4.6 is released, several bugs, mostly minor were reported. So, I decided to release new version with all reported bugs fixed, rather to wait for 1.5.0 that’s coming next week. So, here is another minor version.
Since we are now very close to 1.4.0 version of the plugin, I decided to release current development version as a Beta. At this point plugin is 100% ready for complete comment integration for implementing review system.
