* new functionnality : 
Through The Template Code panel, your template files are scanned and patched if they're writable. If not, informations about where you should paste get_cat_icon() in your files are displayed.

1.7.2
* a bug is resolved

1.7.1
* new feature : you can now display the icons vertically, it's like a 'stack' of icons, thank to a new parameter for the function get_cat_icon() : vertical_display. Set it to true if you want to use that feature. 

Example : 

get_cat_icon('vertical_display=true');

The 'stack' is generated thank to a div tag. That div tag has a class : caticons. So if you want to extend the style of the div tag, you can use css in style.css.

Example of generated code :

<div class="caticons" style="text-align:center;float:left;width: 32px;">[the_icons_are_here]</div>

Example of extending the class in style.css :

.caticons,img {
	border:0 !important;
}

1.7
* A few bugs are resolved.
* Links & images are now W3 compliant.
* New functionnality : you can prioritize the display of icons. 
From the author (Oliver):
You can now assign numeric priorities to categories. The priority is used to select a single category icon for a post with multiple categories.

Example: imagine we have a post with two categories:

- Companies -> ACME Corp. (Icon: ACME.gif, Priority 10)
- Products -> Milk (Icon: Milk.gif, Priority 20)

If you now pass the new boolean parameter Ņuse_priorityÓ to the get_cat_icon() function, it will only render Milk.gif because Products -> Milk has the highest priority of all categories for the post.

* You can display icons in the sidebar. you just have to use the new function : put_cat_icons(). Example of use :
put_cat_icons(wp_list_categories('show_count=1&title_li=<h2>Categories</h2&echo=0'));
You can add any parameters to wp_list_categories(), but you MUST add echo=0.

The function put_cat_icons() accepts 2 parameters : 
	first parameter : the list to process (from the wp_list_categories()),
	second parameter : a string representing the same parameters as get_cat_icons().

* You can define the maximum number of icons to be displayed in front of the posts titles in Options.
* You can translate the plugin into your own language thanks to the .pot file provided with the plugin
If you translate it to another language than french, thank to send it to me in order to put it online and share it with everyone. :-)
* For the frenchies : I've translated the plugin into french. You just have to put the file 'category_icons-fr_FR.mo' in the plugins directory. (Pour avoir la traduction du plugin en fran¨ais, vous devez juste dˇposer le fichier 'category_icons-fr_FR.mo' dans le rˇpertoire des plugins).
