Use of deprecated argument

Hi there,

i had some error notice on a single page:

get_the_author was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.1 with no alternative available. in /wp-content/plugins/wp-post-comment-rating/common/class-wp-post-comment-rating-common.php:325

You where using the post ID here to get the authors display name. This seems to not work anymore.

I researched and found the solution here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3188901/wordpress-get-author-info-from-post-id

so i changed line 325:

removed
$author = get_the_author($post->ID);

added
$author = get_the_author_meta('display_name', $post->post_author);

and now the notice is gone.
