== Changelog ==

= 1.2 =
Now that we can establish if posts/pages are about a single app using custom field appId, we will automatically add a smart banner to that post for Safari mobile.  If Linkshare is present in options, it adds that.  No short code required.

= 1.1 =
For posts about a single app, the user can now set a post attribute called appId with the value of the AppStore ID.  This will eliminate the need to place the id parameter in all short codes, which sure is easier than copy+pasting it every time.

= 1.0 =
* Initial version

== Upgrade Notice ==
v1.2 places the Smart App Banner meta if you're using the appId custom field on a post/page.

v1.1 provides an alternative to putting the id= tag in every shortcode by using a custom post attribute.
