History

Latova was publicly released on October 9, 2007 after 2 years of development. Four updates quickly followed the initial release, with Latova 0.2.1 Alpha as the latest release of the software.

Version 0.1.0

Version 0.1.0 was the first public release of Latova. Latova had trouble with transparent PNG signature and posts ignored height restrictions for IE6. The IE6 version was considered "the downgraded version" of Latova during the release. Latova also had minor display issues while on Safari. The initial release also lacked an Administration Control Panel, Search Capabilities, an Installer, and Member Email Capabilities.

Version 0.1.1

Version 0.1.1 was the the first update for the Latova software released on October 11,2007. It included fixes for several problems that had come with the initial release. The BBCode were also reworked along with other miscellaneous things.

Version 0.1.2

Version 0.1.2 is the second update of Latova, which was released on November 12, 2007. The BBtags were reworked again, to make it more flexible and bug-free. Along with fixing forum category links, several more fixes were included from problems with the 0.1.1 release.

Version 0.2.0

Version 0.2.0 is the third major update of Latova, which was released on January 11, 2008. Autoparsing has been added, allowing users to post media content without surrounding them with BBTags. A search has been added for topics and posts. There are a few changes related to post limits along with several bug fixes.

Version 0.2.1

Version 0.2.1 is the latest version of Latova, which was released on January 22, 2008. Aside from some bug fixes, users can now disable automatic image resizing and can now add content statistics in modules. The delete buttons are now red.
