What's new in Shashin 3

- New, easier to read shortcode format (the old format is still supported)

- Cool jQuery based display of album photos and photo paging
- Easier to use widget
- Display photo and album thumbnails in any size

What's removed in Shashin 3
- Support for private Picasa albums. There are simply too many variations in web host PHP configurations and security settings for me to continue supporting this feature
- The [salbumlist] tag is deprecated - it will now render as a regular album thumbnail display (I intend to include a proper list layout in a future version)
- The "c" option for captions is deprecated (it is now treated as an "n")
- The Shashin 2 PHP functions you could call directly have been removed, and replace with a new one
- The previous widgets have been replaced with a new one
Overview
Shashin has many features for displaying photos and videos from Picasa, Youtube, and Twitpic in your WordPress posts and pages:
- Show a gallery of all your albums, photos, and videos, with multiple options for organizing them
- Use a jQuery based WYSIWYG media browser for easily adding photos, videos, and albums to your posts
- Show your photos and vidoes with your favorite image viewer. Highslide is included with Shashin, but you can use a different viewer of your choice
- Pick individual photos or videos to display, in any size, including captions and EXIF data
- Pick photos and videos from any combination of Picasa, Youtube, and Twitpic to display in groups of thumbnails
- Show thumbnails of your newest photos and videos, from one or more albums
- Display album thumbnails for albums you choose, or all your albums, sorted however you like. Includes links to Google Maps
- Display any number of random photos and videos. You can also choose to exclude certain photos or albums from random display
- Use a widget to display Shashin photos in your sidebar
- Customize the Shashin and Highslide stylesheets to suit the theme of your site.
- Internationalization: Shashin supports translations into other languages (please contribute a translation if you're bilingual!)
