For everyone

• Changed:
  • Trimming of image alt tags now happens at 417 characters; this is to account for Twitter’s ambiguous 420 “maximum” value, where TSF may add three dots for ellipsis.
  • Random theme headers are no longer considered for Open Graph images. This sporadic behavior, albeit fine for social sharing, took up about 10% of TSF’s processing time.
• Fixed:
  • Resolved a regression where the RGB hex prefix # was missing on output. Both on the front end and in the settings.
  • Resolved a regression where an unassigned homepage would not be recognized as the homepage.
  • Resolved an issue where the contentSize markup for Logo was of type integer, which should’ve been of type string (as an integer).
  • Resolved a fatal error when an image with an alt tag over 420 characters was used for social meta-sharing. Props Sageth for reporting this.
  • Resolved an issue where WordPress Core sitemaps were no longer augmented.
  • Resolved an issue where the screen settings were no longer visible on the SEO Settings page.

For developers

• Added:
  • Pool tsf()->theme_color() is now available. You can use tsf()->theme_color()->get_theme_color() to get the meta theme-color hexadecimal value.
• Changed:
  • TSF initializes all its hooks at init 0, from init 10.
    • To hook into WordPress’s sitemap providers, which are registered far too early, we had to move TSF’s initialization sequence. We used 0 for future-proofing since WordPress’s loading sequence became a combobulated mess, which shows no signs of stopping.
• Improved:
  • Query caching is a tad optimized.
