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.
Unfortunately, 1.7.1 was released with several bugs, and two of them were major caused by some changes I added just before releasing the plugin. So, I spend most of the day testing and fixing bugs, and here is the new version with many fixes.
Still lacking free time for new plugin features, but still enough time to improve existing features, plugin speed up and optimizations. This time changes are in installation, plugin loading, database tables collation and lower memory usage.
Here is new release of GD Star Rating with some very important changes that were needed for improved customization potential. Most of the changes are with the T2 templates and rendering to allow adding filters for all rendering methods.
For the past week I have been working on few more features from the roadmap. And, almost half of it is done by now. Most important new feature is support for integration of the rating blocks (both standard and multi) into comment form.
