Initial release of Fivestar for Drupal 6! This is a direct port of 1.11 beta 3 for Drupal 5. We should be seeing 1.11 official released shortly. This version of Fivestar depends on VotingAPI 2.x for Drupal 6, which now takes control of several pieces of functionality:

Now handled by VotingAPI 2.0
- Tracking of votes by anonymous voters
- All SQL queries now handled by VotingAPI
- Updating of votes now supported natively
- Improved efficiency, reducing the number of SQL queries per node request

Continuing to clean up problems introduced in the 1.11 version, this version corrects the following problems since beta2:
- Correcting "field is required" errors when leaving required comment ratings or required Fivestar CCK fields - http://drupal.org/node/204792
- Votes seemingly not saved when leaving comments - http://drupal.org/node/203626
- Added star-first and star-last classes to star sets for increased themeability.

This minor release updates 1.11 beta1 to be compatible with jQuery 1.0.4 (Drupal 5 default).

The 1.11 version of Fivestar includes three primary new features:

- Configurable rollover text is now displayed for each star. Thanks to KentBye for his help on this request. - http://drupal.org/node/137193
- The title of the voting widget is now updated after casting or canceling a vote. It now accurately reads "Your rating" or "Average" depending on the current star display. - http://drupal.org/node/202057
- A static version of the Fivestar widget can now be displayed on teasers/full node view in addition to the rating widget and hiding entirely. - http://drupal.org/node/198189

Bug Fixes:
- When using Dual display of stars, the average star display is now updated without a page refresh. - http://drupal.org/node/135377

The 1.10 release fixes a critical bug found in 1.9 where IE and Firefox users without Firebug would not see the Fivestar widgets. - http://drupal.org/node/173575

If you missed the feature enhancements included in 1.9, please take a look at the release notes for 1.9.

This is predominantly a feature release with tons of great new capabilities!

Fixes a number of issues and exposes two new display styles for ratings: the current 'simple' style, a 'default' style that shows the current average rating more obviously, and a side-by-side rating style that shows one set of stars for the user's vote and another for the average vote.

This version fixes the byte order mark that had been included in fivestar.module, crashing browsers left and right. Darn you, byte order mark.

Version 1.2 fixes several bugs and adds per-nodetype configuration options.

The latest and greatest version of Fivestar module, designed for Drupal 5.
