What is the difference with the default Recent Post widget: All WordPress installs come with a default widget for showing recent posts. The advantage of using the Recent Posts Widget Plus plugin, is that you cannot only show the post titles but also an excerpt from the post and define how many characters of the excerpt are displayed. This plugin also allows you to display recent posts from a custom post type.

While trying to add 'Latest Posts' for custom post type with thumbnails, I found out, there was no plugin available for CPT, so I authored this small plugin widget, using another plugin, and added required missing features, and cleaned some code. Hope that helps.
