Author Image(s) v3.6

I’d like to announce the official release of the updated Author Image(s) plugin (v3.6) for WordPress.

Display image (if present) and/or name for the author of a post, or for all authors on the blog.

For more details, instructions, screenshots, and the download link, visit the plugin’s official homepage at :
coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/author-images/.

Recommended update. Highlights: fixed bug in which ‘show_fullname’ was ignored; support ‘show_fullname’ with setting and widget setting; noted compatibility with WP 3.3+; updated plugin framework; and more.

Comments welcome on this post for this version of the plugin. Comments will be closed once this release has been superseded by another.
