Important Change to Mimbo 2.1
November 04, 2007 ( 2 )
If you downloaded the recent version between Sat Nov 3rd 11:00pm and Sun Nov 4th 8:00am, you will need to download the package again. Or if you want to make the edits manually, change any image path saying…
/wp-content/themes/mimbo2/images/
…to say…
/wp-content/themes/mimbo2.1/images/
There are references in index.php, single.php and header.php. Paths to CSS and javascript have now also been updated.
Sorry for the confusion. It has been a busy few days.

Is there any issue with manually editing it “in reverse”? If I started working with 2.0 and had all the images upload to ‘/wp-content/themes/mimbo2/images/’, wouldn’t I have to keep that path so I don’t have to re-upload images to the /mimbo2.1/images/ directory?
Or I guess in the grand scheme of Mimbo, it may not matter much since the images that it’s pulling theoretically change as posts come and go, and aren’t used anywhere besides the front page.
@Tony: you’re correct that for users already running 2.0, they could keep image paths the same. I haven’t found a perfect system yet to satisfy both existing Mimbo users and new users — ultimately, everyone’s going to be a little different.
In the future I’ll provide more explicit directions for people looking to upgrade. Or maybe I’ll get rid of versioning altogether if it’s confusing. Currently, it’s just a way for me to keep track of changes I’ve made, and a way for users to keep theme versions separate so there’s no overwriting.
