I'll write a blogpost up sometime in the next week to detail how I do it :)
For now, Plugin authors can look at the common-class i use: http://svn.dd32.id.au/wp-plugin-dd32-common-class/class.dd32.php as well as the way i load the latest version of the file available, and how i add the changelog/configure data: http://svn.wp-plugins.org/add-from-server/trunk/add-from-server.php Currently, It parses the details out of the Trunk's readme file's changelog, so it needs to be in the correct format. 2008/12/29 Paul Robinson <[email protected]> > Could you tell me how it is done at the moment?
