JoshSalvaging the SexyBookmarks v2.6.0 Disaster

This blog post was originally posted on the SexyBookmarks’ blog. Shareaholic has since taken over the responsibility for the continued development and improvement of SexyBookmark publisher plugins!

salvaging

It seems as though there are some underlying problems which were completely overlooked in the latest release of SexyBookmarks. Problems which were causing fatal failures in many blogs, and annoying issues in others. So to help reduce the magnitude of these problems, I have officially reverted the plugin back to v2.5.5.1 for now until I can find and eliminate them.

If you already upgraded to v2.6.0 and you’re noticing any of the following problems (or other problems not mentioned here) please accept my humblest apologies and know that I am working furiously to fix the issues as quickly as possible. You can download the earlier version of the plugin until I get things worked out if you’d like.

Unresolved Issues in v2.6.0

  1. Short URLs not working

  2. Admin page not being displayed (blank)

  3. Footers & Sidebars Disappearing

For those of you who already updated to v2.6.0, Norman is planning to release another update soon which will rollback your plugin to v2.5.5.1 status, which *should* fix the problems you were having with v2.6.0 until we can find the major issues that are causing this disaster and get them fixed.

Thanks mate. This is a great plugin. I was using the Sociable till now, but the icons are too small and the Digg icon nearly blends itself into the white background and becomes invisible. I am glad i found this, however I would to have the name of the site somehow either below or beside the icon, not everyone knows the various icons.

There shouldn't be a need for a link to the previous version... We released a "rollback" update which is basically just the old version with a newer version number... This way anyone who happened to update to the non-working version would get the update available message so that it would be easier for them to update to a working version effectively rolling back the plugin to 2.5.5.1, but with the version number of 2.6.0.1

Ummm... no worries! I love the plug-in.

But how about a link to download the previous, working version....
