Change Log

v0.7.4 [2009-04-23]
- FEATURE: Rudimentary print stylesheet.
- FEATURE: “by” is now translatable.
- CHANGE: Added a right side margin to the section edit buttons for scenes.
- CHANGE: Act heading syntax has changed to accomodate any number of '=' characters, the only requirement is that the number of '=' are balanced on either side of the act heading.
- CHANGE: Removed unncessary log function.
- CHANGE: Characters a-z now permitted in character names and scene titles.
- CHANGE: Moved license information to separate file.
- FIX: htmlentities() is not multibyte character safe which causes problems with internationalization. Switched to DokuWiki's _xmlEntities().
- FIX: Master regular expression was too greedy, prevented multiple screenplays sections from being used on a single page.
