 * I updated to the new 2.1.1 version today. When the plugin is activated I can’t
   switch beetwen HTML and Visual in the editor anymore. When I deactivate the plugin
   it works fine again. I use the widget to show the Popular Posts in the sidebar.
   With the new version there is a display problem with some special characters 
   like german “ö” “ü” “ä” oder the symbol for Euro “€”. See sidebar on [http://www.katzeausdemsack.de](http://www.katzeausdemsack.de)(
   post 5 to 10 show the problem – at least on german windows system).

 * Titles with apostrophe is displayed with weird characters. I’ve tried 2.1.3, 
   2.1.2, and 2.1.1 and all three of them are displaying the same issue. Right now
   I’m back to 2.1.0 which seems to be working fine.

 * Hi Ikkki,
 * thanks for you quick response an the new version (2.1.3). The problem with the
   switching between Visual and HTML in the editor is fixed. The problems with the
   special german characters not. The problem appears in the sidebar an also in 
   the dashboard stats.
