Mimbo Pro updates to version 1.1
Today we sent out the first update for Mimbo Pro. We were hoping to stick to only updating to fix bugs but we had some ideas for new features and couldn’t resist adding them.
An abbreviated version of the changes is…
- new control panel options for carousel count and page/ categories in top navigation
- full gif and png support for timthumb
- fixing timthumb bugs
- fixing wp-head plugin hook issues ad author image problem
- a couple of other small fixes
The new features are the ability to adjust the number of items visible in the carousel, and the ability to swap between displaying categories (the default) and pages in the top navigation. Both small changes but welcome too.
The other big fix is Timthumb. For those who don’t know Timthumb is the script that crops and resizes images on the site. As well as some bug fixes Timthumb now supports pngs and gifs properly. Also, as mentioned yesterday, Timthumb will soon be made open source and released for free on Google code. We’re just trying to decide what license to use and then it will be released.
The forum has also seen huge growth, with people both looking for help, and giving it.
Note: the updates and accompanying newsletter will be sent out Thursday, March 20th. Anybody hasn’t received a copy after that day should contact us through our brand new support ticketing system.

It looks like there are some delays in the newsletter going out. I have no idea why it’s happened and am talking to the Plimus support in the hope that we can get a solution soon. Thanks for your patience (again
