Better Related Posts WordPress Plugin
Do you use custom post types and taxonomies? Do you want to list any related content, not just posts?

But there is a problem. There is no plugin that lists related posts that are from a custom post type. After looking through the sourcecode of a few plugins I decided to implement my own related content plugin.
