8.3 – 2007-09-26 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_8.3}]

The LONG wait is over. This has easily been the toughest release to date, and has been a bunch of work to make this the best release yet – seek3r
Improved: Loading routines to only load up what is needed based on what features of podpress are enabled – seek3r
Improved: Memory consumption from 1.2MB down to 360K. – seek3r
Fixed: Problem with stats redirects being broken.- seek3r
Added: Support for Podango users. By using the Podango API’s, podpress can display the podango hosted files in the drop down, and keep your WP posts synced up as Podango Episodes. – seek3r
Improved: File listing to filter out stuff that obviously shouldnt be there, as well as shorten the displayed filenames to prevent the edit screen from getting totally messed up. – seek3r

Fixed: A number of situations where feeds were being made invalid – seek3r

8.2 – 2007-06-15 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_8.2}]

8.0 – 2007-06-01 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_8.0}]

Changed: Player system so it no longer uses AJAX calls, but does everything client side from the podpress.js file. This reduces player load times, and server load as well- seek3r
Added: Forced download of locally hosted files, as well as tracking if files are fully downloaded. This ONLY works when podpress stats are enabled, podtrac not enabled, and the files are hosted locally.- seek3r
Fixed: RSS2 UTF-8 problems. New solution is cleaner, faster, and properly encodes the content- seek3r
Improved: Performance/load issues. With WP2.2 its still possible we will push PHP over its memory limit, but I have made more reductions and hope it will work in more environments. I also improved the podpress_showmem output to give details of how much additional memory consumption podpress is imposing- seek3r
Added: Support for OGG and SWF file, with included players- seek3r
Changed: Config screens so that disabled sections become hidden- seek3r
Changed: the podpress_themes.php has been reduced a bunch. If you have a custom one, you should make sure you can migrate your tweaks to the new ones layout. It should all be fairly easy to understand the changes- seek3r
Moved: the players into a subdir, since Im starting to gather quite a little collection- seek3r

7.9 – 2007-04-28 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_7.9}]

Fixed: Legacy replacement categories.php – seek3r
Added: Options for more feed control to the feed screens – seek3r
Added: Ability to have multiple players, such as when you have the_content and the_excerpt being displayed together – macx.
Fixed: Stats pages being made to look bad when long filenames are used. Solution is to allow for text to wrap. – seek3r
Fixed: problem with WordPress build in enclosure support causing double feed enclosures – seek3r
Expanded: feed controls by file type. There has been format=EXT for awhile (which gives preference to the file extension you specify, and now there is onlyformat=EXT So if you wanted a feed with ONLY the m4v files showing up in your feed you would do site.com/?feed=rss2&onlyformat=m4v

7.7 – 2007-03-22 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_7.7}]

Added: Missing functions, which got lost during the shuffling of functions to the podpress_admin_functions.php – seek3r

Improved: Better security checks, and added redirectors incase anyone goes to a few files directly.
Added: readme.txt and some screenshots. These are part of the switch to the wordpress.org plugins hosting service. Check podPress out over there http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/podpress/

7.6 – 2007-03-15 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_7.6}]

Fixed: Podcast feed mechanism.This feature broke along the way somewhere, so I redesigned the way I was doing it to be more fully functional and make better use of some features in the wordpress framework – seek3r
Fixed: Detection of environments where the stats graphs will not work – macx
Improved: stats graphs. Detecting browsers language setting to display localized dates and numbers in stats. – macx
Added: Put back the old graphs as the (alt) for those that like them
Performance: Split up some of the functions into separate files for performance reasons
Fixed: some typos
Cleanup: Various path variables
Added: start of code to have podpress be capable of being a torrent tracker to better handle torrent feeds

7.5 – 2007-03-05 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_7.5}]

This release includes some new stats graphs that macx has been working on for a couple of months. They look amazing and lay a foundation for many more graphical reports to come with podPress.

Added: Sweet new stats graphs that were developed by macx.
Fixed: More feed content stripping issues
Fixed: WPMU 1.1.1 support
Fixed: slash problem with the blog title (only in certain cases)

Changed: Default max media file limit. The default of 20 that I had before would make installs break when running on servers with Suhosin setup to secure PHP.
Changed: feedcache support to avoid gzipped feeds.
Changed: podpress.css to use !important which should help the preview framing box from getting screwed up in various themes.

7.4 – 2007-02-15 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_7.4}]

Fixed: Loss of category casting settings when a post is edited.
Fixed: Feed content stripping issue

7.3 – 2007-02-07 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_7.3}]

Fixed: Problems with category casting support, which broke after WP 2.07
Added: Support for two sidebar widgets. 1) Feed links, which includes the iTunes button. 2) XSPF Player. podPress has long supported generation of an playlist.xspf but no one seemed to notice or care. Maybe this will improve things
Fixed: Finally figured out how to protect the feeds from having bad characters (non-UTF8) that frequently cause feed validation problems for users. podPress was never to blame for this, but since people count on podPress for controlling their feed, I have decided to protect users from themeselves

7.2 – 2007-02-01 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_7.2}]

Fixed: Problems with compatibility with WP 2.1 that still screwed up users after 7.1

Updated: iTunes Preview to most recent look and feel. (seek3r)
Added: Preview for the PodcastAlley.com and Yahoo podcasting directories I think this gives users a real sense of how things look to the outside world. (seek3r)

6.9 – 2006-12-06 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_6.9}]

Changed: Seperated the itunes:new-feed-url setting from the feed URL, so that users can set the feed URL but have to seperately enable the potentially dangerous itunes:new-feed-url. (seek3r)
Improved: Added feedurl and itunes:new-feed-url into category casting support (seek3r)
Fixed: Support for WordPress 2.1. (seek3r)
Added: Support for WordPress MU. Im sure there will still be a few bugs here and there, but overall it should be in much better shape. I have it working on a dev install at http://wpmu.danondev.com. (seek3r)
Improved: Alternate feed support (podcast, premium, atom 1.0, and torrent) which will work out of the box for WP 2.1 users. For 2.0.x users I still have the older working versions of the files. (seek3r)
Fixed: Duplicate enclosure bug when using default wp-rss2.php. I figured out a way to trap the enclosure WP wants to add, and just let mine thru. (seek3r)
Improvements: Improved stats support. (macx)
Fixed: 100 day graph bug. (macx)
Fixed: removed language attrib from script tags so that websites can validate with w3c-validator. (macx)

6.8 – 2006-09-10 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_6.8}]

6.7 – 2006-08-01 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_6.7}]

Changed: Top level podPress menu will go right to stats if they are enabled.
Added: Added new graph based stats (Coded by David Maciejewski) .
Improved: Stats view to be paginated now (next/prev) (Coded by David Maciejewski).
Changed: In 6.6 the field for ‘iTunes Feed URL’ was misleading and caused HEAPS of problems with feeds. I’ve learned my lesson, labled this better and blocked the problem from happening again.
Added: Button to feed validator.
Added: Button to Ping iTunes. This is a temporary feature, soon I will have podpress ping iTunes when you add/edit a post. Im waiting on them to fix part of their ping service.
Fixed: Problems with some html tags in itunes:subtitle and itunes:summary RSS2 feed.
Fixed: Problems with saving settings. This seemed to only affect WP 1.5 users.
Added: will add podpress content to the_excerpt now.
Added: versionchecker will now cache for a day, so that your admin screens will not be slowed down as often.
Added: Mimimum value for ttl is now 1 day. Services such as iTunes are having a hard time keeping up with feeds that have low TTL values.

6.6 – 2006-07-13 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_6.6}]

Added: Audio Comments support using the mobatalk.com/mychingo.com service.

6.5 – 2006-07-10 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_6.5}]

Fixed: Double escaped previously escaped html codes. Was causing feed problems.

6.4 – 2006-07-08 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_6.4}]

Fixed: iTunes Categories to the new ones Apple changed to, and includes automatic conversions to the new ones.
Fixed: Some issues with podtrac
Added: another solution for gettings stats to work (in optional files the podpress_trac dir can be copied into the main wordpress dir)
Improved: memory consumption used during install and upgrades which may fix some of the blank screen bugs people using PHP5 are dealing with.
Added: Ability to always have a fake enclosure in the feed when the content is protected (premium podcasting feature). This allows even protected posts to show up in iTunes, but the downloads will not function. I will soon add a way to define a default mp3 file to be used to let users know about your premium content.
Added: Link to our frapper map. Another way to support podPress at no cost to you.

6.3 – 2006-06-23 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_6.3}]

Fixed: invalid function memory_get_usage
Fixed: bug in version checker
Removed: a few unneeded files

6.2 – 2006-06-23 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_6.2}]

Fixed: Some blank page occurances bug caused by exceeding memory limits. Accomplished this by breaking the admin code into seperate files. podPress admin code was consuming a little more than 2MB, but is now under 1MB. However, in PHP5 there are still potential problems because some PHP5 versions appear to consume twice the memory compared to PHP4. Best solution is to increase the memory_limit in the php.ini
Added: Support for setting the itunes:new-feed-url in the feed so that iTunes can be updated.
Added: Support for disabling player for individual media files.
Added: Support for setting max number of media files.

6.0 – 2006-06-13 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_6.0}]

Fixed: Show ID3 tag code. This includes fixing the copy contents to post feature.
Fixed: Missing argument 2 for convertpodcastfilenametowebpat bug.
Fixed: iTunes Preview category problems.
Changed: The javascript files into .php files so that I could control the cache times

5.9 – 2006-06-09 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_5.9}]

Fixed: The length of the stats URLs have been causing all sorts of problems. I have shortened them considerably

Fixed: Several foreach bugs.
Fixed: PDF button wasnt matching up.
Fixed: RSS feed double comments bug
Added: The player text should translate now.
Added: cache control to the javascript code.

5.8 – 2006-06-02 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_5.8}]

Fixed: Bug with file length not sticking.
Added: safe debugging data in the RSS feed for when the enclosure is not showing up.
Fixed: Length limits on various fields which mess up the display or would cause the feed to exceed some limits.
Fixed: Extra pipe displayed on second media file labels.
Fixed: RSS feed checkbox was unchecked by default, which will lead to mising enclosures if not paying attention
Fixed: UTF-8 bugs

5.7 – 2006-05-31 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_5.7}]

Fixed: Serious bug that caused enclosures to be missing in some situations.
Improved: Cleaned up the admin javascript to function like the category casting page (much cleaner).
Performance: Consolidated the podPress config down from 18 seperate wp_options into a single one. This means 17 less database hits on every page/rss load.
Fixed: Extra pipe displayed on second media file labels.
Added: Option to allow you to choose if the player/preview will be visible by default.
Moved: default text strings for each media type into the theme file.
Improved: support for customizing the theme a little more by allowing the podpress.css file to be moved into the theme dir

5.6 – 2006-05-30 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_5.6}]

Fixed: WP 1.5 support. I have been forgetting to test against the classic WP 1.5 recently. It only required a few fixes to get it back in working order.
Fixed: Upgrade bug that could have some installs lose their per post iTunes tag settings during upgrade. oops, Sorry.
Fixed: Include file path bug.
Fixed: call-time pass-by-reference.
Fixed: security bug in the wp-feed.php file I include in optional_files.

5.5 – 2006-05-30 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_5.5}]

Fixed: Missing resetplayersettings function bug during activate.

5.4 – 2006-05-29 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_5.4}]

Performance: I did a major re-structuring to the code base to accomplish some major performance improvements. podPress is at the stage where its nearly functionality complete and it was time to solve performance issues. Im going to list out some of the key aspects:
Performance: Seperated out the admin functionality to a seperate extends class which is only loaded/compiled when doing admin tasks. So that is about 2000 lines of code no longer loaded/compiled to serve up web content and rss feeds.
Performance: Seperated out the upgrade routines to a seperate extends class which is only loaded/compiled when doing upgrades. So that is another 500 lines of code no longer loaded/compiled to serve up web content and rss feeds.
Performance: Streamlined the loading of podPress data so that it is available sooner but was able to reduce the database requests from 9 per Post to 2. This should have a noticable benefit.
Added: Stats support tester.
Fixed: itunes:duration tag bug which would allow some unusual values to be displayed.
Fixed: Browser crash bug with media media player.
Fixed: support for M4A and M4V files, so they now play inline in the browser.

Improved: Length and Duration detection code. Even works on GoDaddy.
Changed: Mechanism used for stats. No longer uses its own .htaccess file, instead replies on wordPress’s support.
Fixed: iTunes categories not “sticking”.
Fixed: PremiumCasting support – The Premium Subscriber group wasnt being correctly created.
Fixed: PremiumCasting support – Fixed support for HTTP Digest Authentication.
Fixed: More RSS and ATOM feeds complaince problems.
Added: FormatCasting. Users can choose a format that will override your RSS2 choice in the POST

5.1 – 2006-05-17 – (archive) [Downloads: {podpress_downloads_5.1}]

Improvement: look in the podpress_theme.php for some samples of additional stuff you can put in your Post output.

Theme-ified: the content podPress puts in your post. There is now a podpress_theme.php that you can put in your theme dir and make the modifications you want/need
Added: Help text at various points
Changed: layout for the iTunes/Feed page. Should be easier to compare settings
Fixed: The way the page would switch between players, and from the preview image to the player. It still blinks a little, but doesnt get smaller and then larger again like it used to.
Fixed: Bug with detecting duration when dealing with some libsyn hosted media. I did overal improvements to the entire way I process remote files.

Yet Another try at fixing the “Call to undefined function: edit_options()” bug.
