   New code for fetching the data:</br>
   1. Instead of one expensive database query we now use two or more cheap queries. Thanks to mirra, who reported the problem. And again thank you to the people mentioned in changlog 1.4, where the cache was introduced for the same (performance-) problems on big blogs.</br>
   2. This also fixed a bug, which lead to too less than requested comments in lists, ordered by post. Thanks to <a href="http://comicsworthreading.com/">Johanna</a> and <a href="http://comicsworthreading.com/">Frédéric</a> for reporting and documenting this.
   </br>
Changed the css in the admin gui, to work around a display issue with Tiger Admin. Thank you, <a href="http://gantenbein.ws/">Andi</a>, for finding this.
   </br>
   Added %time_since macro, which displays the time since the comment was posted. Thanks to <a href="http://www.iamalik.com/">Imran</a> and <a href="http://dcdl.org/">Keith</a> for sugesting (something like) this (very long ago).
   </br>Admin interface: Added switch fpr turning on and off smileys. Thank you, panos, for requesting this feature.
   </br>
   Support for Custom Smileys Plugin. Thanks to Henry for suggesting this.
   </br>
   Fix: Username was not displayed as "Anonymous", if commentor left no name. Thanks to <a href="http://pixcapacitor.com/">Pixelation</a> for reporting this.   </br>
   Added support for WordPress 2.3. It will drop the post2cat table. Changed plugin to new taxonomy scheme. A *great* thank you goes to <a href="http://djz.hu">Lakatos Zsolt</a>, who provided a complete patch for get-recent-comments-1.5.6, which made it very easy for me to understand how 2.0-beta10 had to be changed. Thank you also to xelios, Ville and <a href="http://diekretzschmars.de/">Kretzschmar</a> who warned me, that WordPress 2.3 will break the old plugin code.

 Added %author_url_href macros, which allows to generate inactive links, if the
 commentator did not leave an url. This was wished (in part long ago) by <a href="http://somegirlwitha.com/">beej</a>, 
 <a href="http://revivalblog.com/">carl</a>, <a href="http://www.schiesty.org/">FilSchiesty</a> and SwB.<br>
