0.6.4

  • Added French translation.
  • Updated Italian translation.

0.6.3

  • Added a German translation.

0.6.2

  • Added an Italian translation.
  • Added a Danish translation.
  • Added a Chinese (Simplified) translation.
  • Added a Dutch translation.

0.6.1

  • Some translation-related fixes.

0.6

  • Initial localization support.

0.5.18

  • Added a workaround for auto-enclosures. The plugin should now parse the "enclosure" custom field correctly.
  • Let people use Enter and Esc as shortcuts for "Save URL" and "Cancel" (respectively) when editing a link.

0.5.17

  • Added a redirect detection workaround for users that have safe_mode or open_basedir enabled.

0.5.16.1

  • Be more careful when parsing safe_mode and open_basedir settings.

0.5.16

  • Also try the upload directory when looking for places where to put the lockfile.

0.5.15

  • Editing links with relative URLs via the plugin's interface should now work properly. Previously the plugin would just fail silently and behave as if the link was edited, even if it wasn't.

0.5.14

  • Made the timeout value used when checking links user-configurable.
  • The plugin will now report an error instead of failing silently when it can't create the necessary database tables.
  • Added a table listing assorted debug info to the settings page. Click the small "Show debug info" link to display it.
  • Cleaned up some redundant/useless code.

0.5.13

  • Fixed the bug where the plugin would ignore FORCE_ADMIN_SSL setting and always use plain HTTP for it's forms and AJAX.

0.5.12

  • Let the user set a custom temporary directory, if the default one is not accessible for some reason.

0.5.11

  • Use absolute paths when loading includes. Apparently using the relative path could cause issues in some server configurations.

0.5.10.1

  • Fix a stupid typo

0.5.10

  • Separated the user-side functions from the admin-side code so that the plugin only loads what's required.
  • Changed some internal flags yet again.
  • Changed the algorithm for finding the server's temp directory.
  • Fixed the URL extraction regexp again; turns out backreferences inside character classes don't work.
  • Process shortcodes in URLs.
  • If the plugin can't find a usable directory for temporary files, try wp-content.
  • Don't remove
     tags before parsing the post. Turns out they can actually contain valid links (oops).

0.5.9

  • Added an autogenerated changelog.
  • Added a workaround to make this plugin compatible with the SimplePress forum.
  • Fixed
     block parsing, again.
  • Fixed a bug where URLs that only differ in character case would be treated as equivalent.
  • Improved the database upgrade routine.

0.5.8.1

  • Added partial proxy support when CURL is available. Proxies will be fully supported in a later version.

0.5.8

  • Fixed links that are currently in the process of being checked showing up in the "Broken links" table.
  • The post parser no longer looks for links inside
     blocks.

0.5.7

  • Slightly changed the dashboard widget's layout/look as per a user's request.

0.5.6

  • Improved relative URL parsing. The plugin now uses the permalink as the base URL when processing posts.

0.5.5

  • Minor bugfixes
  • URLs with spaces (and some other special characters) are now handled better and won't get marked as "broken" all the time.
  • Links that contain quote characters are parsed properly.

0.5.4

  • Fixed the uninstaller not deleting DB tables.
  • Other uninstallation logic fixes.

0.5.3

  • Improved timeout detection/handling when using Snoopy.
  • Set the max download size to 5 KB when using Snoopy.
  • Fixed a rare bug where the settings page would redirect to the login screen when saving settings.
  • Removed some stale, unused code (some still remains).

0.5.2

  • Fixed a SQL query that had the table prefix hard-coded as "wp_". This would previously make the plugin detect zero links on sites that have a different table prefix.

0.5.1

  • Fix a bug when the plugin creates a DB table with the wrong prefix.

0.5

  • This is a near-complete rewrite with a lot of new features.
  • See  http://w-shadow.com/blog/2009/05/22/broken-link-checker-05/ for details.

0.4.14

  • Fix false positives when the URL contains an #anchor

0.4.13

  • (Hopefully) fix join() failure when Snoopy doesn't return any HTTP headers.

0.4.12

  • There are no release notes for this version

0.4.11

  • Set the Referer header to blog's home address when checking a link. This should help deal with some bot traps.
  • I know, I know - there haven't been any major updates for a while. But there will be eventually :)
  • Fix SQL error when a post is deleted.

0.4.10

  • Changed required access caps for "Manage -> Broken Links" from manage_options to edit_ohers_posts. This will allow editor users to access that page and it's functions.

0.4.9

  • Link sorting, somewhat experimental.
  • JavaScript sorting feature for the broken link list.

0.4.8

  • CURL isn't required anymore. Snoopy is used when CURL isn't available.
  • Post title in broken link list is now a link to the post (permalink). Consequently, removed "View" button.
  • Added a "Details" link. Clicking it will show/hide more info about the reported link.
  • "Unlink" and "Edit" now work for images, too. "Unlink" simply removes the image.
  • Database modifications to enable the changes described above.
  • Moved the URL checking function from wsblc_ajax.php to broken-link-checker.php; made it more flexible.
  • New and improved (TM) regexps for finding links and images.
  • A "Settings" link added to plugin's action links.
  • And probably other stuff I forgot!
  • Grr :P

0.4.7

  • Minor enhancements :
  • Autoselect link URL after the user clicks "Edit".
  • Make sure only HTTP and HTTPS links are checked.
  • More substantive improvements will hopefully follow next week.

  • Bugfixes. Nothing more, nothing less.
  • Revisions don't get added to the work queue anymore.
  • Workaround for rare cURL timeout bug.
  • Improved WP 2.6 compatibility.
  • Correctly handle URLs containing a single quote '.
