New plugin API to allow for greater customization. With this, I (and others) can create one-off customizations of the plugin without [...]
There’s a new tutorial up at my development site about translating Gigs Calendar (or other WordPress plugins). If you’ve been wanting to translate Gigs Calendar and I hadn’t gotten back to you, check it out.

Last night, I wrapped up all of the features that I think will be making it into 0.4.

Squashed a bug that gave you a [...]
Dougal Campbell, a developer of WordPress, posts about the importance of upgrading. Hackers are actively exploiting security problems on versions of WordPress older than 2.3.3 (the latest release was 2.5).

If you’ve sent me a feedback email from the plugin in the last 12 hours or so, I haven’t gotten it. The problem with my email has been fixed, so you may need to resend your feedback.
