# Vistered Little Release Notes

## 1.7.5

- Dates on posts now use the format specifed via the general options page.
- Made some changes for the styling of `code` and `pre` block. Inline code should be placed in a `code` element. Prefommated code should be placed in just a `pre` element.
- Added support for old WordPress 2.0 installations
- Moved the NEWS to ReleaseNotes.html
- More work on localisation. Partial translations are available for Spanish and German. Thanks go to Pi and Frank Haensel for their work on this.
- Text widgets no longer have a space for the title if the title is empty
- Increased the padding around post titles.
- Increaded the padding below the sociable plugins tag line.
- The comments link/count is no longer displayed if commenting has been disabled for the post/page.
- Preliminary wpg2 plugin support. So far only the Siriux theme seams to fit well with Vistered Little. I've tested it using the default skin in wide mode, setting Siriux's page width to 646px and using an image target size of 600x600px. Anything larger and you are going to start to run into problems with the images overflowing beyond the post frames. I've also testing using g2 images in posts and its seams fine except for the image frames. It seams like the Gallery2 developers have a fettish for tables, which don't play well with Vistered Little. Rather then proving corrected styles for all the frames, I'm happy to accept patches, which I'll add the vistered little. Just send me the CSS and I'll whack it in the wpg2.css file. I couldn't find a way of getting the titles from the wpg2 plugin, so I've created some code to fetch them directly from Gallery2. If you notice any problem with the titles or the information in the post into widget let me know and I'll try to sort it out. Please be aware though, that the WordPress and Gallery2 integration is unfortuanly a rather limited beast IMHO.
