As per revision 513, once you've started digging into the archives on a site using rolling archives, and you scroll down, the rolling archives navigation strip attaches itself to the top of the page (try it here). This should remove the frustration of skimming through the archive pages and constantly having to go back to the top when you wanted to flip to the next page.
It might be interesting for those of you who plan to style to know just how this works. Well, it's quite simple; when you scroll, a piece of javascript checks if the top of the '#dynamic-content' container--which is where the content of your blog is kept--is being scrolled out of view. If it is, the class 'fixraposition' is added to BODY. The rest is CSS in css/rollingarchives.css.
I haven't tested this in IE yet, but in all likelihood it doesn't work. But then, what does?
A slew of minor updates have trickled into SVN lately (changelog), though I felt it was worth highlighting one in particular, which Steve just checked in. Namely the fix to the longstanding Issue 11. To make font-sizes larger for certain languages. If you're up for lending us a hand and you use Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Hindi, Cambodian, Korean, Japanese, Thai or Chinese character sets, grab the latest copy of K2 off of SVN and let us know if it looks alright (as usual, do not use this in a 'production environment').
This is the latest and probably nearly last version of the K2 options page. It took me long enough to finally get around to cleaning up our options page, which quite frankly had just been added to since we started out.
K2 users will note the absence of the 'K2 Header' tab. It's gone. Dead. Along with most of the options that page contained. Instead there is now a Custom Header section on the main options page, which contains only the most vital header options. I decided, in the light of all discarded options being possible purely through CSS, to cut to the bone.

After having talked to Scott, I have ported Sandbox's semantic classes functions to K2. What this means is a hell of a lot more options for everyone to control their site via CSS and some changes in K2's CSS.
The reason for these changes is an agreement I made with Scott to try and keep our class names as close as possible, hopefully paving the way for other people to adopt the same class naming convention. That, and Sandbox's naming convention was better than ours in most respects.
