Kaleidoscope 0.7.8
I’ve been thoroughly neglectful about updating this blog over the last few month.
And though I earlier said I didn’t want to post about every release, I feel people might actually want to know that I have released a new version of Kaleidoscope at the WordPress.org Theme Directory.
It supports both threaded comments and pagination. I actually forgot about the existence of “sticky posts” until after I uploaded it, so I have no idea what, if anything, needs to be done to support those.
It’s not the polished version I’ve been hoping to make, but it functions well for most purposes. And it offers support for the most anticipated features of WordPress 2.7, so I’ve no doubt that despite its shortcomings it’s worth releasing.
Just a note for those looking for threaded comments: you need to enable them (In Settings>Discussion) before you’ll see them. They’re turned off by default for the sake of backwards compatibility.
UPDATE (19 Jan 09) — In a heretofore unprecedented move, I actually dropped an even newer version yesterday, and it’s available. Major highlights: basic sticky post support, and lots of styles for obscure situations that no blog but the example at the theme directory is very likely to try.
