I remember when i was promted to switch but (somehow quite luckily) i actually read the fine print somewhere along the way that said this would likely break any site using their remote APIs so I backed off.. the amazing thing was that i declined the switch even before i had my site up and running (much less the flickr plugin). PS, whats this about the hacks that you made to the plugin to make it validate and bugfixes? do you have a changelist of stuff you improved? I'm guessing you modified Flickr Gallery 0.7, right?

It's basically Flickr Gallery 0.7 with some minor tweaks to make it validate and render properly. I took the liberty of dubbing it "0.7.1" and added a changelog entry to avoid confusion. Glad you haven't upgraded your Flickr account yet, but pretty soon the merge will be mandatory. I think it's only a couple of months before they make you switch, meaning Flickr Gallery will be broken for everyone.

Like i said earlier, too bad the plugin already doesnt work for you, but the positive thing would be that perhaps the Flickr Gallery owners will be pressured by the masses to fix and update the plugin soon after the API change. Did you say you were already looking into the new handshake API? argh! i didnt realize the merge would be mandatory.
