I'm just waiting on a couple more translations, and then we'll be back to the same number of translations we had for 1.5.2. So unless anyone finds an issue with 1.5.3.10, it will probably ship in the next week or so as 1.5.4.

A little bit on the third item in the above changelog. As AS has evolved, it has continued to generate more and more cached .nfo files, and I didn't like having them intermingled with the images. So with 1.5.3.010 moving forward you will find (if you look) 2 directories in addon_data/script.artistslideshow. One is the images (ArtistSlideshow). The other will be all the .nfo files (ArtistInformation). The one exception is the image exclusions file. That will continue to reside in the image directory with the name of _exclusions.nfo.

Given all that, I didn't want any of the currently cached info to be lost, so the first time you run 1.5.3.10, it will run some migration code to move and rename all the cached .nfo files. It WILL NOT move any images or any override .nfo files you have created. If you ever need to run the migration again for some reason, just delete the migrationcheck.nfo file in addon_data/script.artistslideshow.

Once AS 1.5.4 ships I will update the wiki with the new features as well as any tips/tricks that have been generated during the beta.
