This is a bug fix release. It includes fixes for problems many people have encountered and contacted me about since version 1.0's release, primarily PHP Strict Standards messages causing JavaScript syntax errors. There aren't any new features, as not even version 2.0 is focused on new features.
This release should not have had to happen. The initial plan was to "[skip] 1.x releases all together", as I foresaw version 2.0 being released before any major problems could surface, and before too many people were using it. While technically this is a 1.0.x release, the fact is that 2.0 is still a ways away from being where I want it to be for release. So, I am now accepting code for more 1.0.x releases.
