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.

Another small update. This one is focused on fixing the problem with WordPress 2.6 in case the wp-content folder is not in regular place in wordpress installation folder. The only solution I have found so far instead of loading wordpress wp-config is to sent all settings needed by external file through query string in url. It could be a long string, but that’s the only solution right now.

If anybody has better way of sending settings in external CSS or JS files, please send me a message about it, or leava comment. Also, if you notice some problems with Starscape and Wordpress 2.6, leave a comment here or in the forum: Starscape Support Forum.

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.
