## Changelog

#### 2.0

 * This was a major coding update so therefore I moved it up to a new version. *
 * This version you can now use the clock more than once on a page or post. *
 * I moved the javascript code to an external file and called it using enqueue. 
   I instantiated the class within the plugin shortcode loop.*
 * I removed the end notice and the hiding of the clock once the countdown has completed
   and instead set the clock to display 0 on all it’s values.*
 * I removed the php function in the shortcode as it was causing errors and added
   ob_start so that the clock code will be buffered and appear in the correct place
   in the content, not just output at the top.*
 * Added language support for the following languages: Afrikaans, Dutch, Spanish,
   French, German or Portuguese support.

#### 1.0

 * This is the first release of this plugin. *
