GD Star Rating 1.7.1
Previous version of GD Star Rating, 1.7.0 was released a week ago, and unfortunately there where few bugs in it. Most of the users were not affected, but if you were using multi reviews and partially ratings and multi caching, there were number of problems.
GD Star Rating 1.6.9
Well, few more loose ends needed to be tied up, so one more version before 1.7.0 is released. This version adds few more minor new features for widgets and results filters, upgrades the database installation and fixes several bugs and PHP warnings.
New plugin: GD Taxonomies Tools
My new plugin for WordPress is intended to be used to expand on custom taxonomies features that have great potential, but are not much supported in current version of WordPress. Plugin is under a lot of development and is far from completed.
New Website Design
So, after almost ten months with the old design that was using Woothemes Fresh News theme, here is the new look for GD Star Rating home. Now, I have modified the eNews theme from ElegantThemes. It still needs few tweaks, but nothing major.
GD Star Rating 1.6.4
Another week and another version of GD Star Rating. Again, mostly updates and fixes, but this time there are few new things added. Unfortunately, I still have very little free time, so development of this plugin will be slow for the next few weeks.
Coming soon…
There are many new things coming very soon related to GD Star Rating and my other WordPress related work. This includes TVScape.NET website to go live on sunday evening, new major plugins releases and this website fully redesigned.
GD Star Rating 1.6.1
Minor update this time. I have fixed few bugs from 1.6.0, updated several access options, readme and info files and as announced before I removed support for WordPress 2.5.x. So, from now WordPress 2.6.x is required for plugin to work.
GD Star Rating 1.5.8
For the past two weeks I have been caught up with a lot of work, and I didn’t had much time for GD Star Rating. This is another minor release, since I haven’t completed all that I wanted for 1.6.0. Still, this version is well worth the upgrade.
GD Star Rating 1.5.6
This will be most likely last release in the 1.5.x series. Mostly this is bug fixing and improving deletion of different types of votes, fixing Safari/Firefox problems with tabs on the admin panels and improving RSS integration for multis and thumbs.
