At long last, Wax Poteto 5.7.0 has been released!
This is a very big update and includes most of the things that appeared in Wacintaki 1.3.14 and 1.4.0. It is also the last version of Wax Poteto, save for fixes.
New templates: Old custom templates created with the basic template editor are compatible with 5.7.0 without any modification. However, because of browser strict mode rendering, borders will be thicker by a pixel or two if the templates are not updated. If you wish to update them to the new format, simply import and re-save them in the new template editor. Custom and “advanced” templates may require further updating after being converted. Required and optional variables are identified in the editor. Please make back-ups of your existing custom templates!
Template editor: Wax now uses a completely new CSS template editor, so you don't have to modify the PHP template files by hand. A new preview pane has been included, which looks much nicer and includes class names for most elements. Make sure your template folder and files are writable, as you won't have to FTP custom template files all over the place, anymore.
XHTML: 5.7.0 also now uses XHTML instead of quirks-mode HTML. You may have to update your banner and notice so resolve some layout issues, as web browsers will be more fussy about bad code. For example, instead of using the <center> tag, use <div style="margin: auto;">. This did not always work in earlier versions Wax Poteto, due to the lack of a proper DOCTYPE. You should also convert all your HTML tags to lower case, as XHTML requires it.
As usual, please let me know about problems ASAP. My own BBS uses Wacintaki, so Wax Poteto is not as aggressively tested and may have some issues here and there.
