As little easter egg I included the sorting option , which is many times requested. Have a look at Gallery -> options -> Sort thumbnails: “Custom order”. When you select this option you will get the new sort option available at “Manage Gallery”. Enjoy it !

With the release of WordPress 2.5 and the “built-in galleries” feature , I need to look if this plugin reached his EOL. Let’s watch the download rates in the next two month…

If nothing curios happened Version 0.9x is the last release which support WordPress 2.1 – 2.3. Due to the fact that I can’t maintain two admin UI’s I will continue the development only for WordPress 2.5.

It’s a little bit more flexible (you can exclude galleries, and create up to 10 widgets) and a good base for future enhancements.

Let me point out again : Version 0.80 will be the last version for WordPress 2.1 – 2.3. The next major release works only with WordPress 2.5, because there are huge upcoming changes in the Admin UI and this require many rewrites for this plugin. I hope the WordPress Dev team keep enough time for the plugin authors to fit their code to the new admin UI, otherwise…. 

P.S. : The changelog for the upcoming version is already online and the current google trunk contain the last alpha version. ( Test it on your own risk…, no support at this stage )
