4.2.2 This plugin starts generating errors:

In my case:
Warning: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in ..../includes/class_bootstrap.php(561) : eval()'d code on line 26

Warning: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in ....Bla Bla Bla

Try this fix, (Untested)

Edit the plugin titled, Templating Starting under the group, News & Announcements

Replace everything in there with this:

if($vbulletin->options['enable_lns'] AND in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], explode(',', $vbulletin->options['lns_ug'])))
    {
        $lns=array();

        $lns['title'] = $vbulletin->options['lns_title'];
        $lns['text'] = $vbulletin->options['lns_text'];

        $templater = vB_Template::create('forumhome_lastest_news');
        $templater->register('lns',$lns);
                    
        if($vbulletin->options['enable_lns_place'])
        {            
            $template_hook['forumhome_above_forums'] .= $templater->render();
        }
        else
        {
            $template_hook['news'] .= $templater->render();
        }
    }
