This update is another maintenance release. This essentially means that bugs have been fixed.
Most of the bugs that have been fixed are regarding URL generation for the shortlink and relationships.
Next to that, the default “plain” permalink structure has now obtained a Canonical URL output.
A much more reliable hook has been found to be used prior to caching the query. This prevents not only an infinite redirect loop in conjunction with some plugins, but will also prevent incorrect metadata being used on some themes.
The SEO Framework Changelog – Page 14
We're continuously working on The SEO Framework plugin. This archive lists the latest changes by version.
2.6.2 – Condensed Associations
Simply put, this update fixes a few bugs. One of these bugs caused all recognized Post Types to be judged wrongfully for supporting SEO.
A very small bug with a major impact has also been fixed. This bug caused WooCommerce Shop Pages to canonicalized to the latest product.
This update also makes sure all translations of 2.6.0 and later are put into effect.
UTF-8 required languages are now correctly rendered on PHP5.3 and lower within the SEO bar, like Russian.
And for developers, the URL generation has been slightly refactored. With more reliable and lighter variables being used throughout the generation.
2.6.1 – Pacified Handling
The new plugin detection features from 2.6.0 “Pragmatic Foundation” was done in a manner that any arbitrary plugin could be detected with conflicting namespaces.
For this reason, I’ve taken JetPack’s philosophical standpoint on this and implemented it within The SEO Framework.
Also, the new special Greek/Latin duplicated word counter now also works great on PHP versions 5.2 and 5.3.
And in some configurations, the Home Page Title could have been rendered empty, so I got that fixed as well!
For developers, many new filters have been added for plugin detection, be sure to check them out in the detailed log.
2.6.0.2 – Tough Understructure
In some installations, a few WordPress variables may yet be unassigned when called within this plugin.
This causes a wrong cache initialization, and therefore incorrectly renders SEO values and settings.
This minor update determines if the query and page type is accessible yet to make sure no wrong values are used throughout the plugin.
2.6.0.1 – The real Pragmatic Foundation
This minor update fixes a fatal error after updating to The SEO Framework 2.6.0.
