Lazyest Gallery 0.1.6.0 release candidate is now ready for download on the WordPress plugin site. I have had a lot of responses on the beta release, helping me to create a stable release. Some users even dared to install the beta version on a live website.
You need to have WordPress 2.9.x for Lazyest Gallery.
The stable 0.16.0 is expected to be released coming week. After that, I am going to start working on version 1.0, which will be ready for WordPress 3.0.

UPDATE:
I have thrown in another release candidate.  The closing div error and the plugin admin page formatting error are tackled. I couldn't find any problems on activating the plugin on my sites.

    Hello,

    After update the slideshow on the picture page is not working anymore.
    I downgrade now to the old version again

    When I display the images from a folder with this version they are always above the post content. Why is this?. In the last version the thumbs in a post were shown wherever I called them, now they’re always shown above the post content when I add the code after the content. How can I fix this?
    Thanks

    Hey, new release looks good, solved some issues I had. A problem I seem to be getting is when I activate the plugin it modifies the admin stylesheet and pushes the plugin descrioptions to the right, here is a screenshot:

    When I de-activate it everything goes back to normal.
    I’m still having some div issues too, In the folder view my layout is messed up, I think from an unwanted extra closing div tag, I’m not sure. When I view the slides or thumbnails though this problems disappears.
    Thanks

      Hey, yes there is indeed an extra closing div. If you install the gallery and validate the directory pages you get the error of a closing tag for a div which is not open. If you validate on a thumbnail or slide page you do not get this error. The extra closing div only applies to directory view, and it causes problems with the layout.

        I was wondering why the extra div didn’t display on my site. It’s probably in the powered by… message.
        What happens if you enable that message on your site? (check credits on Lazyest Gallery settings)

            Hey,
            I have enabled the powered by message but it it still displayed the same (http://drinkingsouls.freewebhostx.com/new/?page_id=2) I have found that in frontend.php if I remove the closing div on line 452 just after the php closing tag, then the directorys are displayed fine, but then the thumbnails and slides are missing the needed closing div.
            I’m trying to find the problem myself, but it’s hard to spot.
            Thanks.

    I really really hope it does solve the following:
    - when uploaded through WP or through a file explorer it installs nice but activation takes forever.

    The error i used to get with the previous beta versions is gone so thanks for that :)

      how many images do you have in your gallery?

        I tested it on my test website. Runs WP 2.9.2. with 18 pictures in total in the lg-gallery folder. Not much compared to my life site which contains 1500+ pictures. On the life site i run the 0.15 branch and i recently reinstalled that one. Without a hitch. Installation and activation went flawlessly. Hope the info helps in figuring out the difference between the two versions.

        My test site runs WP 2.9.2. and has 19 pictures so that does not cause it to activate really slow.

        My live site is publishing around 1500 pictures. LG 0.15 installs and activates smoothly on the live site. I had to reinstall it last week and checked this while i was at it.

        Hopefully you can figure out what the difference is between 0.15 and 0.16 on the activation part.
