Several people have asked about Carrington’s compatibility with WordPress 2.7. The answer is that we won’t know until 2.7 is final, but all features currently seem to work fine.
We’ll look at supporting new features in WP 2.7 (threaded comments, etc.) in a new version of Carrington once WP 2.7 has been officially released.

Carrington has always been Open Source (GPL), and now it is more transparent as it is hosted on Google Code.
http://code.google.com/p/carrington/
The project has been reorganized so that the core framework can be an svn:external for the themes hosted there. Unfortunately Google makes you choose between https (accessible by project members) and http (public) for svn:externals, so that’s less than ideal. But it’s better than hosting it internally at Crowd Favorite.
With public hosting everyone has access in incremental enhancements and fixes as they happen.

Version 1.3 of Carrington Blog is now available for download.
Upgrading is strongly recommended due to a security patch in this release.
This version has a couple of changes - both bug fixes and new features:
- Added an image.php file for displaying media. This is not yet abstracted into the framework, but will be in the future.
- Added a field to the settings page for adding in analytics code.
- Fixed a problem with IE7 and the dropdown menus.
- Explicitly send headers with AJAX responses, hopefully fixes some issues reported by Safari users.
- Added a Log In link to the header.
- Added code to load in translations.
- Updated documentation.
Enjoy! Let us know in the forums if you run into trouble.

The README files in 1.2 have a typo that lists Category templates as using the following template name:
category-{slug}.php
This is incorrect. The correct template name is:
cat-{slug}.php
I’ve updated the online documentation accordingly.

Version 1.2 of Carrington Blog is now available for download.
It’s been great seeing developers picking up the Carrington theme framework and using it. We wanted to get these fixes and features out ASAP as a result.
This version has a couple of changes - both bug fixes and new features:
- Added support for meta-{key}.php content templates (previously supported only meta-{key}-{value}.php templates) as requested.
- Added a field for entering the About text that is shown in the sidebar. If this is present, the /about page content is not used. The content of this field is passed through regular WordPress filters for formatting, etc.
- Fixed a layout bug with comment links.
- Adjusted some header tag spacing.
- Abstracted all general templates (header, sidebar, etc.) - this was not working completely in 1.1.
- Updated documentation.
Enjoy! Let us know in the forums if you run into trouble.

I talk a bit about Carrington in episode 4 of LoDo Conversations - about 23 minutes in. it’s basically a 5 minute overview of the Carrington engine and how it works.

The .1 release is inevitable. Unfortunately some bugs snuck into the 1.1 release - we didn’t test well enough after refactoring some code.
Version 1.1.11.2 should be out shortly. We’ve installed it here for testing so if you see anything that doesn’t look right, let us know in the comments.
Thanks for your help.

Version 1.1 is now available.
This contains some nice new features and some bug fixes from the 1.0 release:
- There is now a setting to allow you to set how many posts should appear on the archives pages (seperately from the home page).
- Added parent-{page-slug}.php support to enable custom content display for sub-pages.
- Support cat-{slug}.php, etc. template support throughout all top level directories (header, footer, sidebar, etc.).
- Some IDs were converted to CLASSes to remove in-page ID conflicts (due to AJAX loading of templates).
- Improved ShareThis compatibility with AJAX archives loading.
- Firefox 2 compatibility for drop-down menus.

This is the default Carrington Blog theme.
Carrington is much more than a theme, it’s a full theme framework.
