I am glad to announce that new and improved Zmanim widget is available for download and installation from WordPress repository or via installation manager.

This version has new features and bug fixes, mentioned by KosherJava in comments to previous announcement.

New in this version of Zmanim widget:
1. added Ashkenaz/Sephard selector to widget configuration. Now you can simply select proper accent for your widget display.
2. Ashkenaz/Sephard translations are added. There is still a lot of work to do, but start was done and now basic words are said in Ashkenaz/Sephard accent.

Bugs fixed:
1. I replaced words ‘It remains’ with ‘It will come tomorrow’. I agree with KosherJava, this formula is more suitable for awaiting Shabbos to come.
2. Shabbos awaiting message is now displayed correctly. It is now part of unordered list.

Special note to KosherJava:
I found the source of problem with the widget in your site.
1. Widgets are displayed with H3 tag in header. In KosherDev it is H4 is used. So, I’d like to get a sort of statistics on how often H3 is used for header’ing widgets’ windows.
2. Luach for Lakewood, NJ is broken, because widget’s header have fixed height.
To fix it, you can remove height option from rules in style.css for your theme:

#sidebar h2, #sidebar h3 {
...
height:20px;
...
}

3. You’ve said that “Removing and re-adding the widget results in the loss of the location data. Can it be persisted?”. I have not found it on latest versions. I fixed there some issue with settings not reading from DB. But in general, it should work properly.
