Next week, Breadcrumb NavXT 3.3.0 will be released. This release contains several under-the-hood changes, and a few general changes that will affect everyone.
First off, there will only be one plugin distributed with Breadcrumb NavXT 3.3.0. The core plugin was removed, and the administrative interface plugin was renamed to just “Breadcrumb NavXT”. For most users, this change will only require that the user verifies the WordPress plugin updater reactivates the correct plugin. For those manually accessing the bcn_breadcrumb_trail class, you may continue to do so, just keep in mind that you just activate the “Breadcrumb NavXT” plugin rather than the core plugin. The other notable change that affects everyone is the “Breadcrumb Max Title Length” setting now affects the length of all breadcrumb titles, not just the current post’s title.
Those who are manually accessing the bcn_breadcrumb_trail class there are several changes to the bcn_breadcrumb_trail and bcn_breadcrumb classes. These changes are part of a code refactoring effort that reduced much of the duplicate code within the plugin and standardize the code style within the plugin. Previously, the core classes did not explicitly need PHP5, however, beginning with Breadcrumb NavXT 3.3.0 they require PHP5.
In the next week, the documentation for Breadcrumb NavXT will be updated to reflect the changes in 3.3.0, and a new set of tutorials will be written during August.

Hi there,
Can you tell me when the Breadcrumb NavXT 3.3.0 plugin will be released ?

Nightvision,
Due to a bug discovered by one of the translators, the release has been delayed until Monday, August 3rd. The bug was fixed late last night so everything is about ready to go.

Ok, thnx for the info. I’m looking forward to use the new version of the plugin.
Dear Mtekk,
I try to activate it but the following error appear:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/content/e/p/r/epropertypk/html/lahoreproperty.com.pk/wp-content/plugins/breadcrumb-navxt/breadcrumb_navxt_admin.php on line 46
Atif,
Check your PHP version, this error is caused by trying to run PHP5 code in a PHP4 environment (exact topic is covered in the Breadcrumb NavXT FAQ). As the post states, Breadcrumb NavXT requires PHP5.
