I’m pleased to announce the release of Lightbox Plus 1.6.6 for WordPress.  Change log details are below.

1.6.6

• Tested with WordPress 2.9.1
  • Only works with WordPress 2.8+ due to the use of the $in_footer parameter used in the wp_enqueue_script() function.
• Moved all possible JavaScript to the footer to improve load speed
  • Requires theme has the wp_footer() hook
• Cleaned up jQuery call to correctly work in no conflict mode per definition.
  • Updated Colorbox to 1.3.6 which include the following fixes
  • Small change to make Colorbox compatible with jQuery 1.4
  • Fixed a bug introduced in 1.3.4 with IE7′s display of example 2 and example 3, and auto-width in Opera.
  • Fixed a bug introduced in 1.3.4 where colorbox could not be launched by triggering an element’s click event through JavaScript.
  • Minor refinements.
  • Event delegation is now used for elements that ColorBox is assigned to, rather than individual click events.
  • Additional callbacks have been added to represent other stages of ColorBox’s lifecycle. Available callbacks, in order of their execution: onOpen, onLoad, onComplete,onCleanup, onClosed These take place at the same time as the event hooks, but will be better suited than the hooks for targeting specific instances of ColorBox.
  • Ajax content is now immediately added to the DOM to be more compatible if that content contains script tags.
  • Focus is now returned to the calling element on closing.
  • Fixed a bug where maxHeight and maxWidth did not work for non-photo content.
  • Direct calls no longer need 'open:true', it is assumed. Example: $.fn.colorbox({html:"<p>Hi</p>"});
  • Changed $.fn.colorbox.element() to return a jQuery object rather the DOM element.
  • jQuery.colorbox-min.js is compressed with Google’s Closure Compiler rather than YUI Compressor.
  • Added 'innerWidth' and 'innerHeight' options to allow people to easily set the size dimensions for ColorBox, without having to anticipate the size of the borders and buttons.
  • Renamed 'scrollbars' option to 'scrolling' to be in keeping with the existing HTML attribute. The option now also applies to iframes.
  • Bug fix: In Safari, positioning occassionally incorrect when using ’100%’ dimensions.
  • Bug fix: In IE6, the background overlay is briefly not full size when first viewing.
  • Bug fix: In Firefox, opening ColorBox causes a split second shift with a small minority of webpage layouts.
  • Simplified code in a few areas.
• Special thanks for navjotjsingh for the include, excude fix for WordPress built in gallery
