Two plugins released for TXP Ver 4.4.1, ras_author_credits & ras_author_list.
These two plugins are very similar in what they will do on a basic level. With the exception of if_first_author and if_last_author functionality, ras_author_credits will do anything ras_author_list will do – hence two plugins to maintain the option of back compatibility.
On the other hand, ras_author_credits will do a great deal more than ras_author_list and is a significant improvement.
In the final analysis I decided to maintain the option of running these two plugins concurrently and pursuing ras_author_credits and ras_author_list as separate plugins, as to the wisdom of that? only time will tell.
