Hi I noticed that the nivo js version shipped with the module is 2.0

I found on the nivo slider site that the most recent version is v2.5.1

Is there a problem you know of in swapping the module version with the most recent v2.5.1?

I did this because I built an add-on module that adds HTML captions into the view object's attachment_after, allowing html captions to work. Doing this requried changing the nivo source to v2.5.1.

If you are aware of issues with that let me know, i'll post if i find any myself

I'd like to see this myself, this module adds a great deal of utility to Nivo by integrating it with views.

My thinking on this topic - but i wouldn't know how to do it exactly - would be to make the nivo slider JS library rather be housed within /sites/all/libraries like many other modules do, such as WYSIWYG - that was we can upload the latest version of the nivo slider and take advantage of the new transition effects and so forth. I tried updating it manually and it did seem to work fine, the only hitch is that within the Views settings, the drop-down menu seems to be hard coded with the options for the transition effects, so this somehow needs to be pulled from the Nivo JS files instead.

I'm sure you guys already knew this, and seen as though I can't offer HOW to do this, i'm guessing this post is meaningless, but I thought i'd add my 2 cents worth.

The module needs to comply with Drupal.org requirements, because it can't provide non-GPL code and the nivo library is not GPL. Then this issue will be automatically fixed. See #1028638: Module contains code that is not GPL2 licence
