Although this is a maintenance release, there are quite a few changes in the code:

• Moved the configuration page under the Plugins sub-menu
• Added the Shadowbox picture engine, which works like a charm for both photos and videos.
• The album summary, location, published date, and number of photos can now be shown or hidden on an individual basis
• Added the possibility to play a slideshow when using Highslide
• Made the plugin ready to be translated (using _e() and __() functions)
• Thickbox can now play videos, although it’s a bit buggy under IE. It was clearly not made for this, it needed a little hack to even work. There’s not much more I can do.
• Including SWFObject and all the CSS files with the proper WordPress functions (cleaner that way)
• Fixed a HTML validation problem (minor)
• Fixed a bug where Thickbox was always called on my server

I’d like to hear what picture engine you’re using. Lightbox and Slimbox 2 can’t display videos. Video playback is buggy with Thickbox as it was not made for this, it only works after a bit of hacking. I wonder how many of you are using them.
