• Restructured directory and now have a directory called "javascript", "skins" and "plugins", for CommentPress specific plugins and javascript

Changes in version 1.2
• Added Widget support! The widget implementation in Wordpress is a great first step in the direction of ease-of-use for non-technical users, but there are some very important things missing (can't duplicate, still need to hit the code to get multiple sidebars). Widget support in CommentPress 1.2 isn't totally nailed down. Widgets are implemented in the sidebar only. Widgets aren't currently supported on the blog index page (but they can be). We also need to do more work on widgetizing sections of the sidebar (one big one that's missing: the "Browse by"). This will be in the next release. See http://automattic.com/code/widgets/ for help with widgets.
• We've added a content license selector on the CommentPress options page. This will let you choose a CreativeCommons license for your own licensing needs.
• We've added internationalization support—we don't yet have any translations of the CommentPress interface, but we could.
• We've incorporated the standard Wordpress content functions [the_title(), the_content(), the_excerpt()], making CommentPress compatible with other plugins that use these functions.
• We have get_template() in place, so that you can rename a theme
• The options page got some flair.
• Skin stylesheet renamed to style.css, so metadata for your theme is automatically detected
• The CommentPress updater function wasn't working. Now it is.
Changes in version 1.3
Please delete your old CommentPress files before installing this version. Old files will mess with this version. This release of CommentPress introduces a new feature in the comment area: the Comment Overview. The Overview shows you a list of all the paragraphs on the page and a count of the comments on that paragraph. Clicking on the title of the paragraph will make it the active paragraph and open its comment stream. Also, the overview replaces the Help instructions; get help by clicking on the link at the top right of the comment area.
• Added a comment overview on each page.
• Detection for required plugins that are already enabled, so CommentPress doesn't overwrite that lovingly tailored plugin of yours. We do need to take over Brian's Threaded Comments though.
• Included the 'Skinner' plugin to change the look of your CommentPress install. This makes switching looks its own menu in the administrative interface, instead of an option on the CommentPress options page.
• Included 404 error page.
• All the titles are linked now.
• Widget sidebar is consolidated and the display changes to accommodate widgets if you're using them.
• New styles for comment streams and comment index pages. Hope you like it!
• Page jumping: active paragraphs align with the top of the comment area when you get to a post using a permalink, or click from the comment index pages. Known bug: We haven't gotten it working when you click from the comment overview. It will highlight and open the right stream, but it will jump the paragraph to the top of the browser window, above the comment area. Oops. We'll get it soon.
• Threading is working again
• call strip_tags on the_excerpt before trimming the paragraph number
• created a proper commentpress_post class
• before, installtion after the front page was loaded, which required a refresh to complete install. now installation is complete in the backend.
• fixed broken links when blog not in same path as install
• comments query fixed
• disabled the disabling of rich_editing
• Links in the table of contents are always black, and links in the Browse Comments box in the sidebar match the rest of the sidebar
