Some of the changes and fixes are:

* New shortcode attribute: lbtimeout="t" where t is integer number of seconds.

Maybe i accidentally implemented new bugs, so i, and all other wppa users, would be very pleased if you want to test it before the actual release.

You can test it by downloading the current release candidate:

Install as if it is a new plugin, and answer yes to the question if you want to replace the current version.
