  • Updated languages: German, Russian, Turkish, and Chinese
  • Bug fix: Users are placed back into moderation after an admin approves the comment. The solution is to prohibit moderated/spammed users from ever editing comments.
  • Bug fix: Changed JavaScript enqueue name to prevent caching issues.
  • Bug fix: Added a "try" statement in some JavaScript areas to prevent a hanging "Saving..." screen.
  • Bug fix: Fixed mysql insert statement bug.

  • Feature: De-link comment option for admins.
  • Feature: Ability to move comment-editing interface above or below the comment.
  • Feature/Bug Fix: Edited comments are checked against comment blacklist.
  • Feature/Bug Fix: Anonymous users can no longer edit comments that are marked as moderated.
  • Misc: JavaScript should leave less of a footprint.
  • Misc: Comment Editor is completely stand-alone. Hopefully this will resolve some conflicts.
  • Misc: Updated jQuery script to 1.2.6. *crossing fingers*
