This has been two months in the making, but it's finally finished!

Mirage, our most popular theme ever, has been completely overhauled. But rather than go on and on about how great this update is, here's a look at the most significant changes:

• Complete iPad Support
• Improved iPhone Support
• New HTML5 DOCTYPE
• New theme background & header Images (previous header images are included in the download file)
• RWmultitool Support
• Cleaner, more efficient code
• Improved Print Support
• Better cross-browser compatibility
• Completely re-designed drop-down menu
• More theme options - including Site Width, Site Font, Sidebar Width, etc.
• Much better javascript support
• Numerous bug fixes and other improvements

Changes You Should Be Aware Of

Mirage 2 is a much better citizen when it comes javascript-related functionality, such as CrossSlide (for photo slideshows) and Pulse. All of Mirage's javascript-based functions are kept in its own namespace and placed in a closure - a "sandbox" that is separate from other scripts loaded onto the page.

This is great because it means there is less chance of conflicts arising from the use of various plugins and stacks, but it also means that the code snippets used for Mirage v1.7 and below won't work in Mirage 2. This only affects CrossSlide and Pulse, and we've included updated code snippets for both RapidWeaver 4 and RapidWeaver 5 in the download file, located in the "Tutorials & Extras" folder.

Free, As In Mirage Customers Don't Have to Pay For This Awesome Update

Yep, that's right. Current Mirage customers get this awesome update for free. Of course, if you haven't purchased Mirage yet, what are you waiting for? We have a live preview site for Mirage, and you can buy a copy at our RapidWeaver Store.

Enjoy, and Happy Weaving!
