WordPress.org

• bugfix: the fullscreen-button did not always appear when playing a video, added the "allowfullscreen" attribute to the iframe (as in the most recent youtube embed code)
• still waiting for the big leap forwards (responsive LYTE and custom sizes) I'm afraid

1.1.8

• bugfix: playlists API changed: playlists can now have ID's of more than 16 chars and always should be prepended with PL, which broke playlist rendering. Hat tip for the guys over at dubtechnoblog.com for reporting!
• bugfix: further work on excerpts to make sure http(v|a) links in manual excerpts get replaced by a lyte player.

• bugfix: remove noscript-stuff from the_excerpt as requested by wordpressvoxbox13
• bugfix: switch HTTPS detection to is_ssl() WordPress function to avoid breakage on MS IIS

1.1.2

• performance: replaced the external stylesheet (lyte.css) with inline javascript that adds an internal stylesheet to the head of the document (thanks for pushing me Collin!

1.1.1

• bugfix: lyte css wasn't applied as class was already removed (regression caused by "Infinite Scroll" support), lyMe now is the name of the unprocessed div and becomes lyte after processing

• new: if youtube-url contains "start" or "showinfo" parameters, these are used when playing the actual video. This means that you can now jump to a specific time in the YouTube video or stop the title/ author from being displayed (based on feedback from a.o. Miguel and Josh D)
• update: javascript now initiates either after full page load or after 1 second (whatever comes first), thus avoiding video not showing due to other requests taking too long
• update: bonus feature stops lockerz.com tracking by addtoany (you'll still want to hide the "earn pointz" tab though)

0.9.4

• security: WP YouTube Lyte now works entirely in https if your blog is running in https
• performance (js/ page rendering): initiate the javascript a little later (at "load" instead of "DOMContentLoaded") to speed up page load (might need further optimizations)
• performance (php): have the plugin only include/ execute php when needed
• updated donottrack.js to match the version used in my WP DoNotTrack-plugin. if want to tweak the way donottrack.js functions, you migth want to check that plugin out (and disable the option in WP YouTube Lyte)

0.9.3

• Bugfix: donottrack.js incorrectly handled document.write, causing javascript that depends on it to malfunction (reported by S.K., thanks for helping out!)
• Bugfix: moved inline javascript into a function expression to protect values (d=document) from other javascript that might use global variables (thanks to Eric McNiece of emc2innovation.com for reporting & investigating)
• Bugfix: made changes to widgets to allow a video to appear both in a blog post and in the widget bar and to allow httpv-links in there (although httpv is not needed in widgets) based on feedback from Nick Tann

• Languages: added a full French translation (thanks Serge of blogaf.org)
