0.7.1 (Apr. 11, 2012)

• Allow users to save post subscriptions the first time they save the post. This also fixes the bug where a user wouldn’t be subscribed until they saved the post twice

0.7 (Jan. 9, 2012)

• Entire plugin was rewritten into a modular architecture (e.g. each feature is broken into a module you can enable or disable). One point of the modular architecture is to make it much easier for others to contribute new features. For the end user, there’s a brand new settings page where you can manage your modules. Each module then registers a configuration view for module settings. Most have options to choose which post types you’d like it activated for, along with other configuration options.
• Calendar is far more functional. Content is viewed in a six week view by default, and number of weeks is configurable in screen options. Posts can be dragged and dropped between dates. Click on a post title to get the details about the post, including editorial metadata.
• Custom statuses can be drag and drop ordered with AJAX. All statuses (including core ‘draft’ and ‘pending’) can be edited or deleted.
• Editorial Metadata terms can be ordered with AJAX. Terms can be made “viewable” and then will be displayed on the manage posts view and calendar if enabled.
• Story Budget shows “viewable” editorial metadata and fixes a few bugs, including not showing posts in a subcategory of a parent category.
• Notifications/subscriptions are filtered so you can disable the auto-subscribing of authors or editorial commenters.
• Important note: If upgrading from pre-v0.6, please upgrade to v0.6.5 first to ensure all of your data remains intact.
• Read the full release post

0.6.5 (Sept. 19, 2011)

• Bug fix: Workaround for a bug in core where the timestamp is set when a post is saved with a custom status. Instead, we update the timestamp on publish to current time if a custom post date hasn’t been set. Thanks saomay for help tracking the bug down.

0.6.4 (Jul. 22, 2011)

• Display unpublished custom statuses inline with the post title, per WordPress standard UI
• New number type for editorial metadata, so you can have fields like “Word Count”
• Dropped the admin option for disabling custom statuses on posts. It didn’t work, and this is handled by post_type_supports()
• Add a ‘Clear’ link to editorial metadata date fields to allow user to easily clear the input
• Bug fix: Proper support for bulk editing custom statuses
• Bug fix: Contributor saving a new post respects the default custom status, instead of reverting to ‘draft’ as the post status
• Bug fix: Better respect for user roles and capabilities in Story Budget
• Bug fix: Custom statuses in Quick Edit now work as you’d expect them
• Bug fix: Show all taxonomy terms (most likely categories) on the Story Budget, regardless of whether they include published content

0.6 (Nov. 9, 2010)

We’ve expanded this functionality to be completely customizable; admins can add any number of editorial metadata with the following types: checkbox, date, location, paragraph, text, or user dropdown.
• New feature: Story Budget. View all of your upcoming posts in a more traditional story budget view. Posts are grouped by category, and view can be filtered by post status, category, user, or limited to a date range. Hit the print button to take it on the go.
