New features

[Otto de Voogd]

A number of new features have been added to the countdown clock during
the past few days:

- You can now add years and months to the list of time units.
- There is a BBcode generation option to make it easier to post a
countdown on a bulletin board.
- Styling of the frame (the small window in which a countdown clock
appears on a page) can be changed during the generation process. It
used to require a manual edit. Hopefully this will make it easier for
people to create countdowns of different sizes and shapes (the size of
the text inside a countdown clock adapts to the available space).
- Styling can be previewed making it easier to see the result. The
preview works if you use Firefox, Opera or Safari to generate a
countdown clock.
- Other numerical representations can now be used, which will make it
possible to add support for languages like Arabic, Hindi and Burmese.

On the languages front, two new languages are now available:

Czech (Česky) contributed by Nicole Blankenship
Chinese (中文) contributed by myself but it still needs to be verified
properly.

Also a start has been made for Arabic, Hindi, Korean and Romanian, if
you speak one of these languages please verify the translations, so
that it can be made available. Go to
http://www.7is7.com/otto/countdown/lang.html and check out the last
languages in the list, which are in gray.

These new features have been a lot of work, and there are many more
features in the pipeline, I only wish I had more time to work on them
so as to implement them faster.
