Detailed log
Plugin improvements
- Improvement: The extension autoloader now uses namespaces rather than class names.
- This changes all extensions’ base structure.
- This speeds up auto-loading twofold, because it no longer has to manipulate the class name.
- Improvement: The layout no longer is a massive stack of repaintable flexboxes, but is now split up instead on scroll-point.
- This fixes a layout performance issue, most prominently seen in Google Chrome. Because it no longer has to repaint 20+ full-screen flexboxes on miniscule height variation changes when scrolling.
- Improvement: This plugin has now been tested against xDebug to eliminate common errors, performance culprits, and resource hogs.
- Most prominently were security functions. They unintentionally busted the cache.
- Improvement: Admin error dismissible notices can now be send and set up through AJAX, instead of only a box-header or inline notification.
- This is great for when you encounter an error when activating an extension.
- At most two notifications can be displayed simultaneously. It’s fun to play with.
- Improvement: Notices generated by this plugin no longer jump when using JavaScript.
- This also improved non-JS admin notices, where they’re outputted where they should be instantaneously.
- Fixed: Various browser memory leaks have been resolved.
- Fixed: Tooltips no longer disappear when the caller is tapped or clicked upon.
- Fixed: Tooltips no longer overflow out of bounds when shown too high up.
- Fixed: Remote status check now warns you when the subscription is expiring.
- Fixed: Extension files can now be validated, and therefore activated, on Windows servers.
- Noted: WP Engine staging environments will generate error 2001 when switching from staging to production and vice-versa.
- This means that the site’s integrity can’t be verified, which is intentional but unwanted. We’re working on a fix. Stay tuned!
- Current workaround:
- Write down the active extensions.
- Deactivate account.
- Reactivate account.
- Reactivate written down extensions.
API changes
- Internal:
- When a subscription fails to validate, it will now allow you to reactivate it, without killing the options.
- This might require a second try for API propagation when you manually disconnect your site through our website, as our caches need to catch up.
- You can now see your subscription end date and/or next payment date.
- See “External” for more information.
- Error code 301 now suggests to contact your hosting provider.
- It means that our API services can’t be contacted at its very early stages.
- Because we constantly monitor our API services, this is most likely an issue with your host or how your site is secured.
- If you receive this error code, try again in 30 minutes. If the error is still outputted, proceed with contacting support.
- When a subscription fails to validate, it will now allow you to reactivate it, without killing the options.
- External:
- We’re now sending recurring payment data information. So you’ll know better when your subscription expires.
