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.

Last few weeks I was working on some new features for Starscape Cygnus edition, and I have started compiling the list of features I would like to transfer to Starscape II and also a list of new features. Some of the current Starscape things is still in the rough phase, and I don’t expect to polish all of them, not until Starscape II is in development. This is especially the case with Nova rendering engine that has much more potential then the current version you can see in Cygnus edition.

I will start working on Starscape II in august, and I expect to see first public version in september. There will be a test blog available during development period, and I will upload new version of theme at least once a week.

So, if you are interested to read more on Startscape II features, then read on.
