== Changelog ==

= 2.2 =
* Code optimizations. www.google.com/jsapi and kncm.js are now properly enqueued only on single posts/pages if the comments are opened.
* Moved inline JavaScript to kncm.js
* Using switch() instead of if .. elseif ... else .. to show transliteration controller

= 2.1 =
* Bug fixes
* The options stored in the database will be retained even after deactivating the plugin. This is to prevent the removal of plugin options upon plugin update/reactivation. If you want to clear the database entries upon plugin deactivation, select **Restore defaults upon plugin deactivation/reactivation** in plugin options.

= 2.0 =
* Added option to change the position of Transliteration Controller
* Added option to change the title of Transliteration Controller. You can now tell your blog readers how to use transliteration in Kannada script!

For devs,

Removed `var Text_Area=document.getElementsByTagName("textarea")[0].id;`. will be just using `var ids = ["comment"];` to enable transliteration on comment form. Hope it doesn't break on hard coded comment form!.

= 1.1 =
* Added an option to set default language.
If user has selected no default language, Kannada will be set as default language upon activation.

= 1.0 =

* Initial public release.

== Upgrade Notice ==
This version requires WordPress version 3.5 or newer. If you're using an older version of WordPress, it is better to stick with Kannada Comment 2.1.
