Here is my July 2008 WordPress plugins update containing all my 15 WordPress plugins. All of them should work on WordPress 2.5 as well as WordPress 2.6. It is not tested for any version below that.
In general, most of the updates are bug fixes. These updates in theory should be able to work till WordPress 2.7 when it comes out end of this year.
My new semester will begin on 2nd week August 2008, and hence I will be busy with my school work. So no updates to my plugins will be out till the end of this year unless it is a critical bug or a security issue.

WordPress 2.6 has been released.
Here are some new features of WordPress 2.6:
2.6 is pretty much identical to 2.5 from a plugin and theme compatibility point of view, so upgrades from 2.5 should be pretty painless. The 2.5 branch will no longer be maintain so everyone is encouraged to upgrade.
PS: The current version of my plugins should work well with WordPress 2.6 except WP-DownloadManager. Nevertheless, I will release updates to all of them tomorrow.
I spoke about Developing Plugins For WordPress on Wednesday, 18th June 2008 at the Singapore PHP User Group, June 2008 meetup.
This is the second time I am speaking at the user group. The first time was in December 2007 meetup where I spoke about the same topic WorPress Plugin Development With PHP.
I think this time my pace was slightly better.

Powerpoint Slides and Source Code can be downloaded here.
I have brought forward the launch of lesterchan.net a few days in advanced as I may not be free on the 9th June 2008 which is the original intended date of launch.
After more than 4 years of using the same layout, the old layout (version 2.0) has been finally replaced with this newer (version 3.0) layout. I think some of you may find this layout a little dull as compared to the previous layout because of the colors used. I am trying to come out with a variety of color schemes if possible because of the colors are controlled by CSS, the only limitation is choose the color. Do note that I am not a designer but a programmer. Most programmers are poor designers and most designers are poor programmers.

Feel free to browse through the whole site if you have not been doing so for a very long time as most of the pages has been updated.
All the old URLs should be redirected properly to the new URLs, I have spent quite a lot of effort to ensure that.
You can report bugs in the comments =)
Here is the second and final wave of my June 2008 plugins update containing the remaining 4 plugins. All of them should work only on WordPress 2.5. It is not tested for any version below that.
The most general noticeable change would be the path to the plugin is now fixed. Previously it was nested in another folder and I got several hate mails because of that. Since the path problem has been solved, the Automatic Plugin Upgrade should work in theory.

As you are might know by now that WordPress 2.5 has been released. Many people have upgrade issues, plugins issues, theme issues, permission issues and what not.
If you are having problem with any of my plugins with WordPress 2.5, check out this 3 links below:
I just want to add that ALL my plugins - except WP-Wap (not tested) should be working with WordPress 2.5. My WordPress Blog is one good live example of it.
If it does not work for you:
To isolate these problems, I would always advise my users to install a FRESH copy of WordPress in another folder and then test the plugins on it.
Please post all support questions in the Support Forums. Thanks.
WordPress 2.5 has been released and WordPress.org has a refreshed look based on WordPress 2.5 new redesigned administration backend.
New User Features in WordPress 2.5
New Developer Features in WordPress 2.5

Thanks =D
Amazon estimated shipping arrival date is quite accurate. After my book is shipped, it listed on the site that it will arrived on the 18th December 2007 and it really did, in fact it came early in the morning at about 10am. Here are some pictures:



In fact, I have already browse/read through the entire book and I find it quite useful especially the WordPress MU part as I am not familiar with it. I always wonder what is the difference between /wp-content/mu-plugins/ and /wp-content/plugins/ when I extracted the zip, but after reading the book, I got my answer.
Kudos to Lisa for a job well done on the book (now I know you visit my site) =D
