This weekend we pushed out MaxGalleria 1.6, which is notable because it adds support for featured images for your galleries. This essentially lets you define a thumbnail that you can use to represent your gallery, and along with this, we added a new shortcode named that you can use to put gallery thumbnails wherever you want.

We updated MaxGalleria this weekend to v1.5.4 which had a host of fixes that we’d been working on for a while.

Since we launched MaxGalleria two weeks ago one of the more commonly asked questions we’ve received has been, “This looks great, but how does it fare with the new media changes in WordPress 3.5?”.

Over on our Max Foundry blog we wrote about how supporting localization is a must when releasing WordPress themes and plugins to the world.
