Introduced "administer better messages" permission
bug #[607086]: fixed template overriding.
bug #[664856] fixed heap overflow detected by removing skin scanning.
bug #[738334] skins are no longer in better_messages, instead you can override the CSS and .tpl files
bug #[605678] added scroll when overflow in the message popup
- Now Better Messages alters Drupal's theme_status_messages() function. This insure that any module or theme that calls theme_status_messages() will be handled by Better Messages. That fixes #527594: sending messages back by AHAH
- Removed element ID from settings. It was confusing.
bug report #528852 by Noddy: Fixed graceful degradation with tags.
support request #528548 by kyutums: Added page visibility settings. Now you can specify to activate Better Messages only at certain pages. This means that if Better Messages are not active at pages 'admin/*', you will keep seeing the default Drupal messages!
Now Better Messages CSS and JS files are loaded only required.
