Release notes
Footnotes module can be used to easily create automatically numbered footnote references into an article or post (such as a reference to a URL). It now supports also TinyMCE. This release also includes "Better URL filter", which can be used to replace the (incomplete) URL filter available in Drupal core.
Beginning with version 2.4, Footnotes will highlight the footnote text if you click on the footnote reference link. (This was inspired by wikipedia, see #728658: Highlight footnote when clicking the link). The highlight color is light gray. If this clashes with your site's colors, or you just want to set a nicer color (or unset the feature altogether) you need to override the default color in your own theme. (See below).
As part of this feature, CSS class names have moved tags. While unlikely, if you have used these in your own themes, please change your CSS accordingly:
- The "footnote" class used to be the A or SPAN element that is the footnote number/label in the list of footnotes. This class is now the LI element containing the entire footnote.
- The A or SPAN element now has the class "footnote_label"
Due to changes in HTML and CSS, you need to clear the Drupal cache after upgrading to version 2.4 or later.
Version 2.4 introduces an optional feature that identical footnotes are collapsed into one, as if they had the same value="" attribute. This must be enabled from admin/settings/filters by choosing the relevant "Input format" and then the "Configure" tab. By default, footnotes are separate unless you specify them to have the same value="" attribute.
The erroneously named "footnotes-aternative_layout.css" file had been kept for backward compatibility but is now removed in 2.4. The correct file is "footnotes-alternative_layout.css". This file was updated to reflect changes in the default css file.

Smaller fixes
- Bug #761390: Two small improper CSS names
Two small improper CSS names
...was fixed by changing underscores to dashes in css selectors/classes.
- Deprecate Better URL filter as it is committed to Drupal 7 now. #296208: add "Better URL filter" component to Footnotes project
- Bug #761664: Footnotes are double numbered when CSS is not used, such as in RSS feeds. (Due to using OL list)
Footnotes are double numbered when CSS is not used, such as in RSS feeds.
(Due to using OL list)
...was fixed by migrating to UL list. This is also appropriate since after
introduction of the value="" parameter the footnotes needn't comprise an
ordered list.
