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 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.

Dear theme developers, your themes are really a beautiful piece of art. It is also wonderful to see how a web site can be improved by installing a new theme. However, please do not forget that your theme is also part of a larger piece of software called WordPress. So do not forget to use the WordPress template tags. Too often users complain that Lazyest Gallery does not work, simply because one or more template tags do not exist. So before you publish a theme, please check if

• <?php wp_head(); ?> is present just before the </head> tag;
• <?php wp_footer(); ?> is present just before the </body> tag;
• <?php comments_template(); ?> is present preferably in single.php and page.php;
• <?php comment_id_fields(); ?> is present in comments.php
• <?php do_action('comment_form', $post->ID); ?> is present in comments.php

It is not too difficult to include these template tags, but it would make life much easier for us and other plugin developers.

I have replaced deprecated functions in the lazyest-gallery php code by the right functions to avoid error messages in PHP 5.3. If you run into problems after installing PHP 5.3 or higher, please install Lazyest Gallery 0.15.2
