[NEW] Exported HTML template now detects if you are loading content from SlideShowPro Director, and if so publishes player embed code that is compatible with Director 1.5's new mobile player fallback functionality.
[NEW] 8 new color style templates (bringing total to 12).
[NEW] Added a "Dynamically update with current view" option for the Header. When enabled, the header title/description updates with the album currently in view, and displays the gallery info when the gallery is viewed.
[UPDATED] Important changes to how the "Header" and "Wet Floor" effects are rendered. Now, they render inside the SWF area, and thus affect the height of the slideshow itself. The "Slideshow width" / "Slideshow height" settings are now labeled "Display width" / "Display height", and are the values used for the entire area (header plus slideshow plus wet floor) instead of only being applied to the slideshow itself.
[UPDATED] Default export template no longer uses the swffit.js library, nor does it use 100% for the SWF width/height. It is now fixed to the size entered for "Display width" / "Display height" as explained above.
[UPDATED] Exported slideshows now use a single SWF file ("slideshowpro.swf"). The former parent SWF ("loader.swf") is no longer necessary. This should make it easier to migrate slideshows as well as cuts down on requests / file size for faster loading.
[UPDATED] Player templates have been simplified to four, without all the additional ratio/sizing options (which don't really work anymore considering the sizing changes explained above).
[UPDATED] Lightroom 3 deprecated its HTML Background parameter, so it has been replaced with "Player Background" which now does the same thing.
[UPDATED] Handful of parameters have had their default settings altered for improved sizing and appearance.
[UPDATED] Plugin version numbering now matches the SlideShowPro player version.

[FIXED] Image rotation problem when exiting full screen mode resolved.

[UPDATED] Gallery updated to the latest component version (1.9.5). The Content Area / Action parameter has been updated with an "Open Gallery" option as part of this update.
[UPDATED] Various panel layout changes for better organization. The content scale / alignment / watermark options have been moved from the "Images" section to their own "Content" panel, while the transition options (also from "Images") have been moved to their own "Transition" panel. Should make them easier to find / edit for newer users.
[UPDATED] Gallery updated to the latest component version (1.9.4). Parameters added for AUDIO/Auto Start and FEEDBACK/Text Size (latter controls the point size of the text inside the Beam preloader).
[UPDATED] Gallery updated to the latest component version (1.9.3). Parameters added for CAPTIONS/Header Background Alpha, "Fixed" and "Fixed (if Available)" added as CAPTIONS/Appearance options, and "None" brought back as an option for IMAGES/Scale.
