 * Hey, I’m trying to create a widget that lists additional posts from the author
   of the post that the user is currently on. Is this possible with APL?

 * I was almost about to say yes, but after double checking, and unfortunately APL
   currently does not. However, I did put it on the ToDo list for 0.5.
 * It’s a feature that I also want to use, but with 0.4 (which is in beta), the 
   database had to be migrated to Post Meta Data. So, I held off on a lot of modifications
   to help alleviate the number of conflicts others might have during upgrading.
   The goal is zero conflicts, and there’s even a Beta for ppl to try out ( which
   is MUCH MUCH better IMHO ). I just want to do a couple more production tests 
   before I make it a public release, and hoping someone might find a defunct bug.
 * As you may have noticed though, there are some filters that do have dynamic settings.
   With 0.4, the post_list class object structure was redesigned to specialize in
   filtering, and query handling. So it shouldn’t be too much longer.
 * I also plan on seeing if I can make designs more readily available and diverse.
   Especially to new users, but that’s still in the projects.

 * Hey! I wanted to know if this feature (or some way to do it) made it into the
   0.4 release–or if you had a timeline for 0.5 possibly?

 * It was pushed back to 0.5 possibly. The project hasn’t quite been determined 
   yet unfortunately since there’s still more work with 0.4.
