For drop down to work with all taxonomies, an existing function for dropdown for categories was not too flexible, so I added a new function that improves on the original one. Main widget class is also improved to handle some of the new options. And, both Pro and Lite got the same updates.

Next week WordPress 3.0 RC1 will be released, and in about the same time this plugin will get major releases. Pro version 2.0, and Lite version 1.2 will have few more custom post options, various small improvements and code cleanup. But, Pro version will get another widget allowing display of drop down boxes for all taxonomies in a single widget as an ultimate taxonomies navigation for websites that use many taxonomies.

Few small bugs are also fixed. In the next few days there will be more changes added. First, I will add more custom post features added in latest builds of WP 3.0. Next, improvements to widgets will follow. In about same time when WordPress 3.0 is finally released, you will get GD Custom Posts And Taxonomies Tools 2.0 Pro and 1.2 Lite.

This latest version of the plugin needs WP 3.0 nightly builds released after beta 2 to work. Nothing is changed for support for WP 2.8 / 2.9, and that will continue to work as it was before. New changes allow for deeper capabilities support and also more elaborate support for different labels. But, to make things easier, with this plugin, you need to set only to labels (singular and plural), and plugin can generate the rest of the labels automatically. Capabilities are also pre-filled, and you don’t need to change them.

Hopefully, these are the last changes before WP 3.0 is released. In the next two versions of the plugin, I will add few more settings for custom post types and expand terms widget to support drop down list display.
