PhotoQ 1.7 makes managing your WordPress photoblog easier than ever. With this major update of the PhotoQ WordPress Photoblog Plugin, several long-awaited features finally see the light of the day. Here is a list of the highlights:

• PhotoQ learns your language – it now supports internationalization

PhotoQ 1.6.6 is a small update that makes PhotoQ compatible with WordPress 2.8.

You only need to update if you use WordPress 2.8, the compatibility issue is the only issue fixed in this release. A bigger update fixing other things and bringing new features is in progress but still needs some more time.

For more information on PhotoQ please visit its main page and for support questions the forum.

This post describes PhotoQ 1.6.5, an update for PhotoQ 1.6. For a full description of PhotoQ please see the main post.

What if you decide one day to add a watermark to all your published photos? What if your site design changes and you have to resize all your published photos? If your blog only contains a handful of photos, no big deal. But what if you were really creative and published hundreds or even thousands of photos? In this case, having a future-proof solution is vital as adapting things by hand is no longer an option.

Here it finally is, the long-awaited update of Photoq. PhotoQ 1.6.3 should make the nasty bugs with WordPress 2.7.1 and disappearing photo data a thing of the past.

Here is the complete list of changes for PhotoQ 1.6.3:

• Makes PhotoQ compatible with WordPress 2.7.1.
• PhotoQ should now also work on IIS Servers.
• Large parts of the option handling were refactored.

At the same time I also made a small compatibility update to iQ2. If you use PhotoQ and iQ2, please update both.
