 * Hi,
 * On activating version 1.6.1 I get the following errors:
 * >  Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget is deprecated since version
   > 4.3.0! Use __construct() instead. in /var/www/wp-includes/functions.php on 
   > line 3624
   > Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version
   > 2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and
   > capabilities instead. in /var/www/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3737

 * Sorry, actually I’m still getting this error (I checked on a different host before,
   where errors were turned off).

 * There is a new release (2.0.0) that is a total re-write of the plugin that should
   settle this for you.
