The new release contains only one small change but corrects a big annoyance related to themes.
Right now paths to resources referenced by themes (stylesheets, images, etc.) must be set manually, which means it's almost certain that you'll need to modify the theme to point to the correct locations of these resources to fit the theme to your installation.
This is entirely unnecessary. The script can take care of it for us. It's an oversight on my part that this isn't how it works already. With this new release, as long as Ode can find the theme itself, which should never be a problem, references should just work.
We'll have the reliability of absolute paths and the convenience of relative paths. In other words, we'll be able to drag and drop themes into place and expect them to display properly without any futzing around.
So be on the look up for that update.
I just want to give you a little notice before you spend too much time fiddling with themes today. If that's something you were going to be doing, you may want to hold off. The upgrade will be straightforward. You'll just need to replace the currently installed version of the script with the new one. That's it.
