Couple a months ago I had plans for creating new Starscape theme from scratch, with much more features than current Starscape has. But for the past few months I have less free time and much more work, so most of the plans are now abandoned. Most of my free time now goes into GD Star Rating plugin.

But, a week or so ago, I have decided to continue working on Starscape. This will not include completly new theme, but rather cleaned up and partially rewritten version of the current version. This work will end up in releasing Starscape 2.0 in the next few months. Also, if time permits I will also work on two more themes called Starscape 3 and xScape.

This version brings some bugs fixed, updated translation POT file and new advanced pager for front page or archive. New pager is designed for blogs with large number of posts. Translation file is not yet completed, but contains over 95% of all string used by the adminstration panel and blog frontend.

List of all fixes and changes is in changelog file. As for the future versions, there will be an announcement by the end of the week. Since I don’t have enough time to work on new Starscape II as planned before, I will announce new development plans for Starscape 2 and Starscape 3.

I have finally got a little time to update Starscape theme. This new version brings few small bugs fixed, and two new features. I have added direct integration support for GD Star Rating comment review rating, and support for upcoming WordPress 2.7 thread comment model. Also, I have made some changes to CSS and added classes for rendering image captions.

Next version will be released with WordPress 2.7, and will have more GD Star Rating features integrated, and also will improve on comment threading.
