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.

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

Following feature request from Ben, I added a possibility to select Hebrew labels.
To enable this feature, go to Settings -> Zmanim Widget and select ‘-hebrew’ version.
Translation is done partially, but in most of the places. Translation of other labels is not possible for now due to technical aspects. But hope to make all hebrew labels in nearest future.

Update: thanks to Ben, word Shabbos was translated incorrectly.

In this version, I fixed problem with not registering zmanim.js on Jquery.
Also added verification if Google map api key is applied or not. In case not – no map will be displayed and not error from Google will appear.

Playing with javascripts for Zmanim map, I found that there is a conflict of JQ theme and Ajax comments. Hope will fix it later.

Kosherjava, is it a problem, that WordPress uses jQuery version 1.3.4, but in your code it is said to use 1.4?
I found no issues on this case, maybe I haven’t looked well enough?

As usual,

This release has got another new feature – map direction to Kotel in a widget.
This widget is based on a great map, created by KosherJava. I’ve just edited scripts to suit WordPress widget needs and integrated it to Zmanim Widget.

To enable this Widget follow the steps:
1. Go to Appearance -> Widgets
2. Drag-n-Drop Widget to proper section
3. Setup your location. If you already did it for Zmanim Widget, then all your settings will be displayed in Zmanim map config as well.
4. Go to Settings -> Zmanim Widget and input Google maps API key. You can get it from here for your site.

Here you are, you will see a small widget with direction to Kotel from your location. Link to a larger map, located on KosherJava.com site will show you more features.

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.

KosherJava reported that there appeared a new Plazma widget for observant Jews fond of KDE desktop.

I had no chance to test this widget, but you can have a look on Moshe Wagner‘s and KosherJava‘s screenshots.

I still hope, that Moshe would release something similar of Gnome, otherwise I will need to migrate to KDE

I haven’t heard about updates on HCalendar for a long time.
At last Igor updated this great extension (http://hcalendar.blogspot.com/2010/03/mozilla-extension-hcalendar-version_21.html)
He added a so requested feature – automatic DST changing.

What can I say here?! Great work Igor, keep going on this.
