For the O-Type the temperature values are not given, so it is unclear.
My candidates:

COLDEST: 41,162.00 K (screenshot above)
HIP 40430 A
HOTTEST: 66,528.00 K

Planets next, but will take a little while to check almost 100 candidate screenshots...

ICE WORLD WITH HIGHEST PRESSURE

With the water worlds the hottest and coldest entries seem to be mixed up.
My candidate:
HOTTEST WATER WORLD
HIP 50279 A 7
488 K
WHOCARES
hip50279a7__hotww.jpg
Outdoor world with indigenous life (not terraformed!)?
Those might need an own category, or are they covered with earth-like planets?!
In case they get an own category, this is my candidate (min/max doesn't make sense with just one representant):
HIP 50279 B 4
0.6974 EARTH MASSES
5,464 KM RADIUS
302 K TEMP
1.71 ATMOSPHERES
hip50279b4__outdoor.jpg

With respect to the metal rich planets, something seems to be wrong. The heaviest entry is the same as the largest such planet, at
15,779km radius
1397,9980 earth masses
With ~2.5x earth radius, at the same density it should have ~15 earth masses. The current value is a factor 100 too high, and you will have a hard time to find a composition to get to that density ;)
My assumption is that it is actually 13.xxxx earth masses.

And here comes my candidate:
HIP 40430 A 5
LARGEST METAL-RICH PLANET: 17,987 KM
HEAVIEST METAL-RICH PLANET: 30.5772 EARTH MASSES

Giants next, stay tuned...

The last for this trip, ~185 systems, ~400Ly max. distance from populated space, earned ~3.5 million credits.
Via galaxy map "revisited" ~30-50 system that paid >20k credits (max. 120k) after arrival at the station, and checked for interesting bodies. May have missed some in those that I looked at, most certainly missed a couple of (current) record canditates in the systems that I didn't check (lower value systems (<20k), or search was not able to find them...).

records have been added

the record for metal; rich planet stands though also didnt add your earth like cause as far as i know its just another earth like ( I might have lost my ships cat their)

People, don't take high metal content planets for metal-rich planets! Metal-rich planets in the current implementation are of 100% metal - it's just their info descriptions are mixed up and I've ticketed it.

Rukmenot, your record is an obvious bug so it shouldn't be included to the book but it should be ticketed, instead. In the same way as you claim this record I could have claimed HIP 38965 as closest to Sol supergiant (its designation and its info description call it supergiant) and at the same time that it's a smallest supergiant ever found because it has only 1.2 solar radius.

it is the information i read and get from the game, so I will keep it in the book.

It is not my record it is credited to cmdr suizida and the information was provided to him by the game.if it gets changed in the game I will change it in the books. on my way back from blie phlue I will go to the system and check it, this can take a few weeks though. if someone else is in the neigbourhood I would apreciate a second look at the data.

looking at the surface pressure the weight of the planet is possible, knowing the magnetism of the core of a planet determents the pressure i think it can be the truth. I will though send a ticket to FD to see if its a bug.

Sorry, you provided the evidence in your post so I assumed it was your record. Would you, please, provide a link to the owner post in the future, instead, as to prevent confusion?

We are in danger here that adding such records the book will soon be the book of bugs, not records. I might be wrong, though, because it's a much less obvious bug than the supergiant one (perhaps not a bug at all, if I miss some explanation). However, if you like to have such records then perhaps you add the supergiant, as well, as to improve its visibility- I ticketed it in Gamma 1.04 but it's not corrected, yet, in Release 1.05, for some reason.
 
Actually, I have an idea: would it be possible in the future to have hyperlinks in your book to posts that provide the evidence of records? I think it would be nice if the link was in the name of a record's author.

yes I was thinking of doing that, especially for the hardest to beat records, the best would be if people created their own threads for their most amazing finds I can than add the link to their entry.
I'm going to be rearranging the records tomorrow, hopefully making it easier to read!
 
Added latest records to book!
@Ender I've linked cmdr gerakis record

LARGEST WOLF-RAYET STAR
HIP 113569 WITH A SOLAR RADIUS OF 9.3853

to pic he provided to test out links, works best when you play the presentation, how does it work for you?

Is it much harder in those google docs to do links to posts than on the forum? Because here it's something like 5 klicks... As you have already seen many times quite a lot of people are somehow unable to search the forum for posts, properly, so such links would have improved everybody's experience.

Edit:
COLDEST ICY PLANET - SYNUEFE RK-W b47-0 6 A AT 20K
If we are to have this category (20K is probably the lowest in-game for non-gas giants and there quite a lot of planets with it) then I believe my COL 285 SECTOR RN-Y B15-7 6 was the first here.
