Big thanx to all the people who reported bugs in Starscape. No matter how I try to write code without errors, we all know that’s impossible. So when people started using the theme, well, bugs have shown themselves.

Just to let you all know, that I am currently working on solving all bugs reported so far. You can expect update (1.4.4) most likely in the next day or two. Don’t hesitate to contact me through forum, send me an email or leave a comment. Report a bug, give me suggestion, whatever you want.

Thanx for using Starscape.

Some people noticed few problems that are as far as I can tell only Firefox3 related. Problem was caused by setting theme to fluid mode. There is an bug in PHP that generates CSS, and Firefox3 refuses to use CSS file that is not completly valid. Now, this bug and few other is fixed.

Also, I went a little ahead of roadmap, and added Related posts module. This will be last Draco update. Next release will Scorpius. If no bugs are reported, next release will be available by the end of august or begining of september.

This is mainly bug fixing release. But also, this version adds new Authors template, and add changes to template layout so they now look like any other page. There was a bug with footer and missing wp_footer() function call that is used by some of the plugins. Also, user guide has been updated.

Some of the fixes are related to the requirements for new Theme Directory on official WordPress webiste. Becasue of this, new options are added for displaying tags on front page and in the archives.

Update: Theme is now available at WordPress Theme Directory: Starscape.

New version of Starscape is available. And again, long changelog. This is most likelty the most important edition of Starscape so far. Mainly becasue I have planned for this to be last edition of Starscape theme, but I have decided to add some more things. So, the next edition will be called Scorpius, and it will be available in the next two or three weeks. Before that, you can expect one or two minor revisions of Draco.

I have also started working on Starscape 2, with first preview version hopefully ready for the end of september.

As for the Draco, there are a lot of new things here. If you want to know more, please continue reading this post.
