 * I have just update the plug-in and all looked well until I noticed some permalinks
   were not working.
    I use the simple url’s plug-in which rewrites selected url’s
   via …/go/etc and the links all suddenly started returning a 404 not found error.
   This issue has been replicated on a number of sites and the recent update of 
   the xml sitemap plug-in is the only common factor. The resolution is very simple–
   just go to the permalinks settings and press ‘save’.

 * Thanks for the note. The plugin “flushes” the rewrite rules during the init phase.
   Maybe the Simple-URL plugin didn’t register the permalinks at that stage yet.
   I will change the behavior to flush them later.

 * Fixed in the current version, I didn’t change the version number. Now the rules
   are flushed in “wp_loaded”, so all the plugins should be finished with their 
   init phase.
