WordPress.org

The current version is 3.1.0 (2012.05.03)

3.1

• Released 2012.05.03
• Added: Support for shortcode role attribute to further filter display of users when the shortcode is used in wildcard mode.
• Added: The Colophon tab in the admin settings screen now displays a dump of the plugin's setting and options without the need to extract that information from the database via MySQL or phpMyAdmin.
• Added: New Admin tab in the admin settings screen. This allows a suitably permissioned administrator to hide the Biography Box settings from a user's profile according to the user's role and to automatically suppress display of the Biography Box for newly created users according to that user's role.
• Added: Introductory help text to each post-box in each tab in the admin settings screen.
• Added: The filter priorities for both the_content and the_excerpt can now be individually defined to cope with priority clashes with other themes and plugins which use these filters.
• Fixed: Bug where the wp_biographia_category_exclusions setting was not defined in the database upon plugin upgrade, causing an undefined index notice message when the PHP error reporting level is set to E_NOTICE.
• Fixed: Bug in settings initialisation; post_exclusions, global_post_exclusions and page_exclusions are now pre-defined and initialised correctly on both install and upgrade.
