Recently Popular 0.7 Line Released

0.7 squashes two bugs that have been a thorn in the side of this plugin. First, the post thumbnail implementation works and provides for a default thumbnail to use on posts without a thumbnail. The other nagging bug has been posts in multiple categories showing up in the results twice. This has been corrected by a modification to the grouping clause and by using a group concat in the select statement.

This series also brings full support for network based (MU) installations. It will properly create and clean up after itself if you network (de)active or do so on individual blogs. We’ve also tested on WordPress 3.2 and found no compatibility problems.

There was a bug fix release, 0.7.1, that came out the day after 0.7. That release was done to implement a workaround that was affecting people running eAccelerator on Centos, which has a known bug parsing PHP classes in included files.
