Features, Changelog, and Upgrade Notes

Below is a summary of updates since the initial release. If you need more detail, I suggest reading the full commit history. For an idea of the roadmap, please refer to the current open issues.

Version 0.3.0 — April 24, 2014

• Added support for tags and tag pages
• Minor tweaks to be fully compliant with Ghost 0.4.2
• Squished bug with Disqus integration
• Upgrade Note: If you are upgrading from a previous version and find that your comments have disappeared, this is likely due to the change in commit bac117e9a4 which changes the Disqus identifier from the post URL to the post ID. You can either fix this issue by using the Migration Tools provided by Disqus or simply leave the post identifier as the URL.

Version 0.2.1 — April 4, 2014

• Squished bug preventing bold text from rendering on older browsers

Version 0.2.0 — March 17, 2014

• Added post dates to the index page

Version 0.1.0
