## FAQ

  I updated a caption on my Phanfare album, but WP-Phanfare is still showing the
old caption.

WP-Phanfare uses SimplePie (http://simplepie.org/) to retrieve feeds.
 The default
duration is 3600 seconds, or 60 minutes. Adjust the Cache duration in the Admin 
Settings, WP-Phanfare panel

#### 1.3.2

#### 1.3.1

 * Make sure readme file is also updated

#### 1.3.0

 * Upgraded plugin for new WordPress Plugin support model.

#### 1.2.18

 * Wow, embarrassing, I am still learning the proper use of svn

#### 1.2.17

 * Undo, last change, fixup order in readme.txt, trying to get new version to showup
   on wordpress plugin site

#### 1.2.16

 * PanelClass.php was not in the release, fixed.

#### 1.2.15

 * Still struggling to create a proper stable version w/o fprintf

#### 1.2.14

 * Bug Fix release: syntax error in PanelClass.php

#### 1.2.13

 * No release, superstitious

#### 1.2.12

 * Bug Fix release: fixed problem with no fprintf() function in php4. replaced with
   fwrite()

#### 1.2.11

 * Not released, working on new features, need more testing before releasing

#### 1.2.10

 * Another oops! (Teaches me to do updates just before dinner!) Didn’t handle older
   thumbsize option values properly

#### 1.2.9

 * Ooops! forgot to include the new OptionsClass.php file!

#### 1.2.8

 * Properly fixed problem with creation of cache directory. Now relative to wordpress
   installation, should more gracefully handle not being able to create or write
   to the directory.
 * Removed imagename caption, in Lightbox display (now shows untitled)
 * Created a new thumbnail size L (179×119), the choices are Tiny, Small, Large
 * Cleaned up the original code to NOT create multiple wp-phanfare options in wordpress
   DB. Instead create a single multi-value option record. This makes the code cleaner,
   removes database clutter, allows for easier expansion in the future.

#### 1.2.7

 * Fixed a problem reporting cache directory creation errors (on the actual display
   page)
 * Noticed that the RSS feed was being sorted (by date of each entry “image”). Removed
   any sorting, so images will appear in “album” order.
 * The Phanfare RSS feed seems to use the image filename “IMG_1234.jpg” when there
   is no other caption. This clutters the display, so for now, when captions are
   desired, the plugin only displays non-image-filename captions. (Meaning: If the
   caption matches “IMG_n+.jpg” or just ends with “.jpg” it is assumed to be a filename,
   and not displayed as a caption).
 * Thanks to Jeff for letting me know about these problems
 * I plan to roll out a version (in the future) with an updated Settings panel to
   allow more control of cache location, sorting of RSS feeds, and display of Image
   filenames in captions.

#### 1.2.6

 * Fixed reported bug with wp-phanfare_cleanup line 268 (Thank you Jeff.)

#### 1.2.5

 * Fixed footer “View album at Phanfare” to be correct url!
 * Cleaned up cache duration field validation.

#### 1.2.0

   at Activation with proper error message
 * Updated screenshot for Admin Settings Panel (shows Cache Duration)

#### 1.1.0
