[eluser]Developer13[/eluser]
FINALLY!!! I've been trying to get this update out for quite a while now. Balancing a day job, paid work on the side, various open source projects, my wife and two dogs can be a little tricky... hehe. Anyway, here it is! Download InkType by visiting the link in my signature.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS! I need the input. Good, bad, I don't care. If you find bugs, LET ME KNOW! If you have suggestions, LET ME KNOW!

There are a LOT of structural changes to the code with this release. You will need to replace ALL of your files if you have a current InkType installation. Also note that this update will break any custom templates you may have! Please see the new template files (views) regarding the new view / model interaction.

This update includes two SQL files. Use inktype.sql if you do not currently have InkType installed. If you do have InkType installed, use inktype_upgrade.sql. This file includes the differences between the 2008.01.13.3 release and the 2008.04.03.0 release.
