I have finally gotten around to cleaning up the quickie update I did to help out the Blog for America folks.

So, here is a summary of the changes in this version:

• Bugfixes:
  • Changed time difference checking to look for difference >= 0 instead of just difference > 0. This may have caused some odd behavior when time differences fell on exact boundaries.

• New Attributes:
  • MTCountdown / MTCountup : count_only
    • A list of the specific time periods to check, seperated by a commas (e.g. "years,days,hours")
    • Only periods from the following list will be considered:
      • years
      • weeks
      • days
      • hours
      • minutes
      • seconds
    • Important: The time periods will be counted in the order they are given. If you put 'days' before 'years', the 'days' counter will gobble up all the time before checks for 'years' are performed.

Note: I know I have been asked this before, so I would like to head off the feature requests right now. I currently have no plans to incorporate 'months' into the list of periods checked, as months do not have a fixed length. If somebody else wants to put together the code to do that calculation, I would be happy to integrate it into the plugin, but I do not plan on doing it myself.
