1.5.2 2008-05-27 / Omar Ramos
+ Added Dynamic Module Title with help from Andrew Eddie and Rob Schley of Joomla/JXtended
+ Added Two Module Title Parameters for Both Mode (one for Category Page Title, one for Article Page Title)
+ Added Check for option=com_content since there are other components that also use section/category as view names (e.g. jxtended Magazine)
1.5.1 2008-05-27 / Omar Ramos
+ Made small correction in mod_artcats.xml that still referenced mod_articles (thanks to ah72 on the Joomla Forums)
1.5.0 2008-05-26 / Omar Ramos
! Added Categories functionality to mod_articles and renamed to mod_artcats (ArtCats)
+ Added "Both" Capability which allows the module to function on Section and Category pages automatically
+ Added ability to sort by multiple fields
+ Added ability to change sort order (ascending/descending)
+ Allowed for sorting/sort order to be mode independent (separate settings for Article/Category modes)
+ Reimplemented Show Empty Categories Feature from mod_categories (I had removed it for mod_articles)
! Tested with/without SEF URLs enabled
! Need to figure out how to change module title via module parameters for "Both" mode to function seamlessly
