In this release I added some features, recomended by KosherJava.
1. Notable changed in date/time display. Now date/time format can be set manually or used default of the WordPress blog.
Now, you can either specify your own view of Date/time ouput, or use default WordPress’s one.
2. Advanced configuration page got options to change date/time formatting manually.
3. fixed hebrew wording

Known issue: just after installation, there are no dates and time in widget.
Workaround: Go to Settings -> Zmanim Widget and set date and time format. Then save and Widget will display dates and time in your selected format.

I had a task to research possibilities to post from WordPress to Facebook wall.

It turned out to be a pretty difficult task. First, I tries a pretty big number of various plugins to WordPress. None of them worked for me properly due to carious reasons.
Then I researched the possibilities proposed by Facebook applications.
And now I have what to suggest:
RSS Graffitti on Facebook.
It goves a possibility to post to your own wall and to walls of your subscribed groups.
In my case KosherDev.com is posting to the wall of KosherDev.com group.

New bugfixes are available in this version:
1. A lot of Notice messages were removed from reporting.
2. End of Shabbat was set according to Rabbeinu Tam opinion (72 minutes after sunset for any latitude)
This is political decision for now. In future I plan to add proper selector to Advanced options page in order to select an opinion for time of Motzey Shabbat.
3. I found that every week custom settings were reset to default. I fixed this issue

At last Mike “Mikeage” Miller shared his wonderful improved plugin for displaying Hebrew dates in WordPress.
It is my greatest pleasure to announce such event on Kosherdev.com.
When I started Kosherdev.com, I was looking for a plugin, which might display Hebrew dates instead or with Gregorian ones. Short surf over Google brought me to KosherJava.com site with preliminary version of this plugin. I installed this version, and then found that it doesn’t suit to my theme jQ. I changed some lines and only then found that Mike already done some improvements. I was too lazy to migrate to Mike’s version and I stayed with old on.

And at last new and improved version of Hebrew dates was released. KosherJava.com already announced it here.
I’d like to thank Mike for a wonderful work. Keep on going!
Say some words to Mike here.

This release has got a brand new feature – Advanced administration page.
Following the requests of some users, I implemented a possibility to choose the type of Alos haShachar, praying time and tallis time customs in your community.
This is a beginning of the development, so any ideas and bugs are welcome.

To change custom settings go to Settings -> Zmanim Widget page and make your selections. Then save settings and they will be used in Widget.

Special thanks to the site Tichun.de for a wonderful explanation on the types of zmanim.

I upgraded KosherDev WordPress engine to version 2.9.
I tested in on testing site, but haven’t checked everything.
As a result, RSS feed seems to be broken due to some mystical first line insertion before

People in treads on this issue recommend to wait for Wordress 2.9.1, which seems to fix the issue. But i am not sure, that that is exact issue, I have here.

I installed fix Rss feed plugin. It found a lot of files with blank lines and fixed them, but that didn’t help me.

Have anybody met such issue and successfully resolved it?

If you cannot read KosherDev feed in your favorite reader, I’d suggest Google reader. It reads everything that can be read.
