comment pagination by Srijan Choudhary, #15
Isso can now limit the amount of comments shown by default and add link to show more. By default, all top-level comments are shown but only 5 nested comments (per reply). You can override the settings:
isso-data-max-comments-top="N" isso-data-max-comments-nested="N"
Where N is a number from 0 to infinity ("inf"). If you limit the amount of shown top level comments, the overall comment count may be incorrect and a known issue.
You can also configure the amount of comments shown per click (5 by default):
isso-data-reveal-on-click="N"
This feature also required a change in the comment structure. Previously, all comments are stored tree-like but shown linearly. To ease the implementation of pagination, the comment tree is now limited to a maximum depth of one. Jeff Atwood explains, why discussions are flat by design.
When you upgrade, Isso will automatically normalize the tree and some information gets lost. All new replies to a comment are now automatically a direct child of the top-level comment.

style improvements by William Dorffer, #39, #84 #90 and #91
Isso now longer uses a fat SCSS library, but plain CSS instead. The design is now responsive and no longer sets global CSS rules.

experimental WordPress import, #75
Isso should be able to import WXR 1.0-1.2 exports. The import code is based on two WXR dumps I found (and created) and may not work for you. Please report any failure.

avatar changes, #49
You can now configure the client to not show avatars:
data-isso-avatar="false"
Also there is no longer an avatar shown next to the comment box. This is due to the new CSS and removes two runtime dependencies.

remove Django's PBKDF2 implementation in favour of the PBKDF2 function available in werkzeug 0.9 or higher. If you're still using werkzeug 0.8, Isso imports passlib as fallback (if available).
This release also features a new templating engine Jade which replaces Markup.js. Jade can compile directly to JavaScript with a tiny runtime module on the client. Along with the removal of sha1.js and pbkdf2.js and a few build optimizations, the JS client now weighs only 40kb (12kb gzipped) – 52kb resp. 17kb before.
