One week to go
Lazyest Gallery 1.0 release candidate has been tested extensively. We can no longer find bugs.
The release date for version 1.0 has been set for September 24th.
The coming week is for you to report the bugs we couldn't find.
The latest release is 1.0-rc4 1.0-rc5 1.0-RTM. Download it from the WordPress plugin directory.
Faster galleries
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.
Redirect Comments
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.
Running Lazyest Gallery on WordPress 3.0
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
