Not recognized Chrome version is getting blocked

Hi,

I had an issue with the following Chrome user agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/38.0.2125.101 Safari/537.36

For some reason the browscap is unable to tell report the version of Chrome:

[browser_name] => Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/38.0.2125.101 Safari/537.36
[browser_name_regex] => ^mozilla/5\.0 \(.*windows nt (\d)\.(\d).*\) applewebkit/.* \(khtml, like gecko\).*chrome/.*safari/.*$
[browser_name_pattern] => Mozilla/5.0 (*Windows NT 6.1*) AppleWebKit/* (KHTML, like Gecko)*Chrome/*Safari/*
[Parent] => Chrome Generic
[Platform] => Win7
[Platform_Version] => 6.1
[Win32] => 1
[Browser] => Chrome
[Frames] => 1
[IFrames] => 1
[Tables] => 1
[Cookies] => 1
[JavaScript] => 1
[JavaApplets] => 1
[CssVersion] => 1
[Comment] => DefaultProperties
[Version] => 0.0
[MajorVer] => 0
[MinorVer] => 0
[Alpha] =>
[Beta] =>
[Win16] =>
[Win64] =>
[BackgroundSounds] =>
[VBScript] =>
[ActiveXControls] =>
[isMobileDevice] =>
[isTablet] =>
[isSyndicationReader] =>
[Crawler] =>
[AolVersion] => 0

I tried updating the browscap.ini and cache but it didn’t solve.

This causes the plugin to show the unsupported browser message even though I set not to block Chrome browsers.

The issue arises from the ‘Do not block’ setting value which is 0 and matches the not recognized browser version (also 0).

The result is that Chrome is blocked even though I set the plugin not to block Chrome.

I made a change to the settings screen in order to provide an additional option, ‘Block unrecognized versions’ (using value 0) and changing ‘Do not block’ to use value -1.

This way works fine.

I published the updated settings file code here, you can see the change around line 125:

I would be glad if you could merge the changes to your source code so that we keep updating from the WordPress Plugins web site.

Thanks for your plugin,
David
