After a lot of coding and some testing, I decided to release a new version of Picasagallery plugin for Nucleus CMS. Plenty of new features in this one, especially the ability to show a random picture from your (or anyone's for that matter) picasaweb gallery on your site.

I am happy with the way this plugin is maturing. As a matter of fact, the only major feature that is still missing in my opinion is the ability to view and add comments. This will be included in the next release, one way or another. (although I have no idea how to go about that yet..)

A last note: This plugin has only been tested on my linux server with php5, so feedback from users with other configurations is very welcome.
