= Announcement =
As i stated at one of my articles [Features and Future Development](http://www.code-styling.de/english/wordpress-localization-features-and-future-development) this Version 1.x trunk will be maintained now only.
This is because of complete rewrite and massive feature implementation of version 2.x series. This may also imply, that the new upcomming version (planned for end of February) will run at first release from WP 2.7 and not lower versions.
I will nevertheless support the 1.x trunk, but it would not get more features from now. Please look at the article, it also shows more sneak peak screens of upcomming features.
