I’d like to announce the official release of the updated Preserve Code Formatting plugin (v3.0) for WordPress.
Preserve formatting of code for display by preventing its modification by WordPress and other plugins while retaining original whitespace and characters.
The plugin’s official homepage is located at :
coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/preserve-code-formatting/.
Recommended update. Highlights: re-implementation using custom plugin framework; full localization support; misc non-functionality documentation and formatting tweaks; renamed class; verified WP 3.0 compatibility; dropped support for versions of WP older than 2.8.
Comments welcome on this post for this version of the plugin. Comments will be closed once this release has been superseded by another.

Will this work in custom meta boxes added to custom post types, or only for the main post box?
Well, I gave it a try… It does not work on custom meta boxes.
is it possible to exclude some tags
if i want to use a strong tag inside pre?
While it is possible to do so, the plugin does not yet facilitate preserving code outside of the fields handled by the plugin by default. A future release make this much simpler.
The plugin does not support excluding certain tags from code preservation. Any code appearing within the tags handled by the plugin (i.e. ‘code’ and ‘pre’ and any additional ones you may have specified) will have everything contained within it preserved.
