Plugin / RSSPhoto

Changelog

v0.8.1

• Improved display of Slideshow v2 in IE; known issue with opacity but there are no black or white bars any more

v0.8

• Introduction of Slideshow v2: principal improvement is the ability to fade in and out image titles when the user moves the cursor over the image.
• Simplified method for specifying dimensions: set the width and height directly, and RSSPhoto will automatically general thumbnails without distortion from incorrect aspect ratio.
