If you are using any custom fields, you will need to re-order your fields. The comment textarea field is now content-managed, but added to the top of your form, instead of the bottom as is currently the case. Simply re-order your form fields in Settings > Comments Form after the update.

If you are using custom templates, consider reading the new Custom Templates documentation.

• Some serious spelling mistakes for voting functions :)
• Added back voteCount.

• Seperated plugin settings to its own 'real' tab. Bad UX being directed off to plugin settings, then being redirected to plugins screen.
• Added Permissions to control elements (and element types) comments are allowed to be made on. More convenient/centralised that custom field for each element.

• Preserve comment formatting. Changed comment field to textarea in templates.
• Comments have access to objects for flags and votes. Removed flagCount and votesCount in favour of using length Twig filter.

• Added support for comments to be made on any element type (entries, users, assets, etc).

• Added support for voting on comments.
• Added support for flagging inappropriate comments.
• After set amount of flags made against a comment, the 'isFlagged' property on the comment is true. Configurable through settings.

• Initial beta release.
