Verse-O-Matic 3.0 Beta

Verse-O-Matic 2.1.0

Posted on January 15, 2006 | Filed Under Verse-O-Matic

Following the update of the blog to Wordpress 2.0, I have released an upgrade to the Verse-O-Matic Plugin. The new release, Verse-O-Matic 2.1.0, works with Wordpress 2.0, 1.5, and should work with 1.2.

This update includes a slightly more versatile alternate translation bar.

I am working on a couple of new features that will be released in version 3:

Admin panel management
Database storage instead of txt file
Addtional variables and toggles (stored in db)

Until then, check back for updates.
