Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.
Very important: Author Pane 2.x and Advanced Forum 1.1 (and lower) are not compatible. AF 1.2 and above will work with both AP 1.x and AP 2.x. Advanced Forum 2.x requires Author Pane 2.x.
Important note: As of this writing, Advanced Forum 2.x has not been updated to the changed parameters in the theme function. If you upgrade before that is done, you may have problems with Author Pane's CSS overwriting your AF styling of the pane.

This is the initial release of the new branch of Author Pane. The theme function takes different variables, now, so it is not compatable with the older method. It has been tested with Advanced Forum 2.x and the block on its own. It has not been tested with APK recently. APK users should continute to use 1.x for the moment. It is not compatable with Advanced Forum 1.x!
Author Pane is fairly stable now that 2.0 is out. There should only be bug fixes in this snapshot. Occasionally I will need to make a change to accommodate changes to Advanced Forum, though, so test on a dev site before deploying live. AP doesn't store any data. If you find an update to a new dev snapshot breaks something, you can safely restore your backup.
This release is just formalizing the dev version that's been around for a month because I need to branch to 2.x for some larger changes. The only "gotcha" with upgrading from 1.0 is that Panels 2 is no longer supported. Make sure you delete the old directory before untarring the new one.
If you are upgrading from an older version and experience any weirdness, especially with things not showing up in the Author Pane, try clearing your cache.
