[+] Javascript Pagination, at last! Select how many articles to display per page, where to show the navigation buttons and more. Please remember it's non AJAX, so all articles get loaded with the page;
[+] CSS Field has been replaced with CSS FieldS: their behaviour is the same as the old AiDaNews"1" fields;
[+] AiDaQuick: use more lighter queries. Designed for sites with a lot of articles, tell me if it makes your site faster!

[>] If you use a gallery plugin with non-default base gallery settings, now there's a field that allows you to make everything work without hacking the module;

Version 2.0.7 - The result of 30 days of coding
[+] Frontpage Offset: you can now exclude the first X frontpaged articles. It can be combined with the normal offset, but Offset will be used first!
[+] Override Itemid - this allows to change the itemid to a custom one chosen from the menu items. Warning: only works on article urls ATM. Let me know if you need something more complicated!
[+] Each article now gets a CSS class with the catid of the category it's in;
[+] Using the '[st]' tag in the date output field will make the module automagically show 'st', 'nd', 'rd' or 'th' depending on the number of the day (%d[st] gets changed to 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th...);

[+] You can now choose wheter to display Trashed articles or not (just like frontpage articles);

[*] Added margin below tables CSS and removed font-size: 80% from date in default.css;
[*] Category URLs are now correct
