Added: history events can store text description with a more detailed explanation of the history item
Added: now logs failed login attempts for existing username. Uses the new text description to store more info, for example user agent and remote ip address (REMOTE_ADDR)
Fixed: box did not change height when clicking on occasions
Fixed: use on() instead of live() in JavaScript
1.2
Fixed: Plugin name is included when plugins is activated or deactivated. Previosuly only folder name and name of php file was included.
Added: Attachment thumbnails are now visible if history item is an attachment. Also includes some metadata.
Changed: Filters now use dropdowns for type and user. When a site had lots of users and lots of post types, the filter section could be way to big.

Added loading indicator, so you know it's grabbing your history, even if it's taking a while
Misc JS and CSS fixes
Arabic translation updated
POT-file updated
1.1
Added the Simple History Extender-module/plugin. With this great addon to Simple History it is very easy for other developers to add their own actions to simple history, including a settings panel to check actions on/off. All work on this module was made by Laurens Offereins (lmoffereins@gmail.com). Super thanks!
With the help of Simple History Extender this plugin also tracks changes made in bbPress, Gravity Forms and in Widges. Awesome!
Added two filters for the RSS feed: simple_history_rss_item_title and simple_history_rss_item_description.
Changed the way the plugin directory was determined. Perhaps and hopefully this fixes some problems with multi site and plugin in different locations and stuff like that
Style fixes for RTL languages
Small fixes here and there, for example changing deprecated WordPress functions to not deprecated
Added new filter: simple_history_db_purge_days_interval. Hook it to change default clear interval of 60 days.
1.0.9
Added French translation
1.0.8
Added: filter simple_history_allow_db_purge that is used to determine if the history should be purged/cleaned after 60 days or not. Return false and it will never be cleaned.

You may want to clear the history database after this update because the items in the log will have mixed translate/untranslated status and it may look/work a bit strange.
Added: Option to clear the database of log items.
Changed: No longer stored translated history items in the log. This makes the history work even if/when you switch langauge of WordPress.
Fixed: if for example a post was editied several times and during these edits it changed name, it would end up at different occasions. Now it's correctly stored as one event with several occasions.

Do not show on dashboard by default to avoid clutter. Can be enabled in settings.
Add link to settings from plugin list
Settings are now available as it's own page under Settings -> Simple Fields. It was previosly on the General settings page and some people had difficulties finding it there.

0.3.6
Made the RSS-feature a bit easier to find: added a RSS-icon to the dashboard window - it's very discrete, you can find it at the bottom right corner. On the Simple History page it's a bit more clear, at the bottom, with text and all. Enjoy!
Added POT-file
0.3.5
using get_the_title instead of fetching the title directly from the post object. should make plugins like qtranslate work a bit better.
preparing for translation by using __() and _e() functions. POT-file will be available shortly.
Could get cryptic "simpleHistoryNoMoreItems"-text when loading a type with no items.
0.3.4
RSS-feed is now valid, and should work at more places (could be broken because of html entities and stuff)

added RSS feed for recent changes - keep track of changes via your favorite RSS-reader
0.3
page is now added under dashboard (was previously under tools). just feel better.
mouse over on date now display detailed date a bit faster
layout fixes to make it cooler, better, faster, stronger
multiple events of same type, performed on the same object, by the same user, are now grouped together. This way 30 edits on the same page does not end up with 30 rows in Simple History. Much better overview!
the name of deleted items now show up, instead of "Unknown name" or similar
added support for plugins (who activated/deactivated what plugin)
support for third party history items. Use like this:
simple_history_add("action=repaired&object_type=starship&object_name=USS Enterprise");
this would result in somehting like this:
Starship "USS Enterprise" repaired
by admin (John Doe), just now
capability edit_pages needed to show history. Is this an appropriate capability do you think?
