Premium tutorials on Dev4Press
Ever since I started with premium support on Dev4Press for GD Star Rating plugin, many tutorials are published there. Most of them are video tutorials with lenght from 7 to 15 minutes covering many different subjects, requested by the premium subscribers.
Add ratings to RSS feed
Even before 1.0.0 version of the plugin was released I have added a feature allowing integration of rating results into RSS feed. But for a long time this only worked with standard rating results. Now, with release of 1.5.6 this is finally expanded.
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.
GD Star Rating 1.4.5
I am sorry for the bug that managed to sneak into the code in the previous version. Bug only affected those that tried to install plugin for the first time. Problem was with installing default templates, so the rendering failed without them.
GD Star Rating 1.4.4
I was working on a customization project recently, and few things were missing in the plugin for comment integration for better control. So, this release features few improvements for the integration. Also, T2 system is reorganized and updated.
WordPress 2.8 Released
As you have noticed today, your blog is offering to upgrade to new WordPress 2.8. I have been working with WP2.8 for some two months now, and I think it’s a great update. But upgrading to WP 2.8 at this point may prove to be a problem.
GD Star Rating 1.4.3
This is bug fixing maintenance release. There were few reported bugs last week, all fixed now. I have also discovered one problem with using active rating blocks integration functions and setting star sizes different from global settings.
GD Star Rating 1.4.2
This version has one new very, very unique feature called Builder. The reason for adding this builder are countless questions about using simple plugins PHP functions used for integration into theme or other plugins. Interested? Read on.

In the last week I was very busy working on my 3 main plugins: GD Star Rating, GD Press Tools and the latest one GD Simple Widgets. Both Press and Widget plugins have seen a major release in the last two days. Here is a little more about them.
GD Star Rating 1.4.0
Plugin has reached yet another major release in the short period. Last week was used mostly for testing but there are some new features added after the beta release. I will try to cover all changes from last official release and few more things.
