Just another regular maintanence release is here. Most important change is exapnding CSS classes to support tags for comments like blockquote and code (thanx goes to Anita for pointing this out). Also, some of the IE6 issues have been also fixed. And one very nasty bug in author module (thanx to Snider for discovering this bug).

Since I am still getting a lot of questions about customization of Starscape:

After you install and activate Starscape, in the Design WordPress menu you will get one more option called Starscape. This will open a new control panel page with a lot of options for customization of Starscape and blog. Also, read the user guide located in user_guide folder to find out what all the options are for. There are more then 15 diffrenen modules available that are built in the theme for DIGG, adjustable sidebars, menus, tags, gravatar… Read this user guide before asking any Starscape related questions to avoid repeating things.

Thank you for using Starscape.

Few hours after I released 1.5.0, I have notices few problems. So, here is the quick fix update. I have fixed few problems with translation strings and error in POT i18n translation file. Few other things are fixed, and I have added some strings to POT files that I missed before.

And as a bonus new Nova preset style in blue, with Star shaped WordPress logo. This new desing is used on wp.gdragon.info.

And here it is, after 5 months of development, this is the last edition of Starscape. No more new features will be added, only one or two more bug fixing releases. This time, edition Scorpius comes with some very interesting features and improvements.

I have updated this blog, and also the demo blog with new versions. Demo blog can be used as a proof of XHTML and CSS validity since, many plugins tend to break that. So, the theme is 100% valid. Demo blog is on: demo.starscapetheme.com.

I have reinstalled blog from scratch. Now blog uses latest WordPress 2.6.1. All plugins are reinstalled, all extra and unneeded files are removed. There are still some problems with Download page, and I will see in the next few days if Lester Chan can provide update to his Download Manager plugin. Widget with downloads is working, so you can use that.

And, new Starscape theme will be availalbe in the middle of the next week.

After few days of (mostly) testing the fixes in different browers (control panel problems), new version of Starscape is now available.

Detailed list of fixes, as always, is on the changelog page. Most important fixes are related to control panel problems in Internet Explorer (both 6 and 7), problems with author module and error in comments block while this module is active. Also, search results page is updated, along with few other things that got tweaked. One new thing is expansion of author module, and now it can show date and number of comments in the recent posts.

So, download this new version, and if you find any more bugs, feel free to drop me a mail, comment or post in the forum.

Next week, few more bugs will be fixed and the new version will be released, with few more new features: Starscape Scorpius 1.5.0.
