Actually, I was not updating ACE, since I havn’t got ANY problems with it, on the sites I’am using it, on a daily basis.
Thus I can’t do anything with comments that say “it does not work with wp 2.9″. Because it does work. Although if you can’t see any difference for example in widgets, it can be a theme issue. Or if it’s suddenly stop working, it can be an ISP issue, who upgraded PHP wihtout notifying you.
Please, if you really want to help, stop saying “it does not work”, please describe the problem correctly, than I could help ypu work it out.
About the new version
New exclusion sections have been added like 404 error page, Attachment page and so on.
New native Categories widgets support have been added, and there is a new configuration page for Categories Widget. Recent comments and Recent posts configuration is on the way. It will be available in final ACE 1.5.
And also some translations have been submitted in the mean time.
I’ll include them as well.

I suggest you look into errors with php 5.3. I will turn on error reporting and post the errors I am getting.

I’m currently working under 5.3

I’d like to contribute in Bahasa Indonesia translation. Is that possible?
February 11th, 2010 at 10:23
Hi Dhany,
what a question
It’s possible for sure, but a lot of things are changing in ACE 1.5, I guess 1.4.x translations won’t work at all
February 11th, 2010 at 12:36
I hope this is the right place for a bug report:
WordPress: 2.9
Php: 5.3.0
MySql 5.1.41
Language settings – default (all English)
Active plugins: ACE ACE Widgets
Theme: WP classic 1.5
Long category list, no exclusions set yet
Problem: many posts are shown repeatedly, and two lines appear at the top of the blog:
Warning: Parameter 1 to ace_where() expected to be a reference, value given in /Users/mauricenaftalin/Sites/maurice/blog/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 166
Warning: Parameter 1 to ace_join() expected to be a reference, value given in /Users/mauricenaftalin/Sites/maurice/blog/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 166

Maurice, until ACE 1.5 is not released, a solution for PHP 5.3 is here:

I’ll be waiting until the release of ACE 1.5 to work on the translation.

Thanks for your work!
Using WP 2.9.2 and ACE Version 1.4.3, I’ve found that a sticky post will be displayed on my homepage even if its category is excluded..
otherwise, looks great (in the simple way that I use the plugin atm!)
Thanks, Tim

Thanks, Hungary! You are doing an excellent work! WP 2.9.1 ACE 1.43 is working correctly! Thaaaaaanks!

i tried the 1.5alpha version but it’s still impossible to show category posts widget content on the home page while the category is excluded for home.
is there any workaround for this? running wp 2.9.2
thnx.
