For Lazyest Gallery 0.16.5, I made some small changes in the way (cached) thumbnails are created. In previous versions, all thumbnails were being created at the server while computing the code for this page. On galleries with many new images, this could mean long download times or even blank pages because of  a PHP time out. Now, all images cached or uncached will be created asynchronously after the page has loaded in your browser. This will improve the total loading time of your gallery dramatically.

Version 0.16.5 als contains bug fixes to display folder and image captions in the broswer title bar. Thanks to davidddn.

When you experience a “white screen of death” like discussed below, you need to update to version 0.16.6.

Many users found a bug in the Lazyest Gallery comment system. After a user posted a comment on a folder or an image, Lazyest Gallery didn’t come back to the originating page. This bug has been fixed in version 0.16.4
The Lazyest Gallery edit screen has been tweaked so it now also shows the number of images in sub folders.

In WordPress 3.0,  the thumbnail gallery paging fails. Please download version 0.16.3 when your blog is running on WordPress 3.0.
In 0.16.3, it is also possible to have HTML code like links in the folder and image captions. The caption no longer links to the image (slide) page.

Lazyest Gallery is NOT compatible with WordPress 3.0 Multisite

A bug in the Lazyest Gallery Admin screen prevented the Gallery edit permissions to be updated correctly. Only after refreshing the page, you could open the Folder screen to manage your images. Another bug intervered with the Images table sorting capability. Clicking on the table header did not sort the images.

Update
Version 0.16.2.1 fixes another sorting bug for subfolders.
Downlaod 0.16.2.1

Version 0.16.1 fixes a lot of bugs users have reported for Lazyest Gallery 0.16.0.

• Bug fix for Slideshow stops working
• Bug fix for Filemanager tab is not visible
• Bug fix for Incorrect image count when you have folder icons
• Bug fix for Error messages for opendir()
• Bug fix for incorrect Slide Show link

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.
