== Changelog ==

2.38
=
* Added: new options for borders and drop-shadow on map
* Changed: MapPress now requires WordPress 3.2 or higher (3.2 uses modern PHP and MySQL versions)
* Fixed: the wrong URL was provided for updating MapPress
* Fixed: screen was jumping to top when selecting custom icon
* Fixed: clicking the 'save' map button while editing a marker now saves the marker edits before the map is saved

2.37
=
* Removed: the "did you mean...?" address prompt.  Google changed the geocoder again and it is now returning multiple results even for a corrected input address.
* Removed: the "custom CSS" options was redundant and confusing to many users.  If you have custom CSS settings, please move them to your theme's style.css file instead.
* Added: border settings in options screen
* Added: clicking 'enter' in the map editor now correctly adds a location rather than publishing the post/page
* Changed: if you choose the option to link mashup title with the source post, clicking the title in the marker list will go directly to the post (previously, it opened that marker on the map)
* Changed: the container <div> is now sized to exactly the size of the map <div> (previously it was the default, usually 100% width)
* Changed: the cursor no longer jumps to the directions panel when it's opened - this was causing annoying scrolling on some pages
* Fixed: when setting the map to open the first marker, initially the map wasn't centering correctly
* Fixed: HTML error in settings screen for the map sizes
* Fixed: loading spinner centered
