2.2.1

Live, 20 Jun 2015

No substantial changes.

Created readme.txt, and re-hosted on WordPress.org so it can be more easily found and installed without ever visiting this site.

2.2.0

Live, 29 Dec 2007

This release involved a substantial change to the way the the Javascript is triggered. This should have no impact on the blog reader or the WordPress admin, but should make the theme-writers happy. The code now should support XHTML-compliant themes without warnings.

(If you have EmailShroud 2.0 or 2.1 installed, I would suggest that you upgrade, but it isn’t mandatory.)

• Features Added
  • EmailShroud now checks for cases where the email address is included more than once in an anchor tag, and replaces the offending data with the username.
    • Note: This will affect cc: and bcc: addresses parameters in anchor tags.
  • JavaScript now has (very long) expiry time to promote your users caching the JavaScript. That helps the page load faster and lowers the load on your server
  • Email addresses directly in the text will now be “de-shrouded” to the entire email address rather than just the user name part; this makes EmailShroud less intrusive on your text for JavaScript-running users.
• Bugs Fixed
  • Rearranged code to remove need for non-standard attributes; this should help XHTML-validation.

2.1.0

Live, mid April 2007.

This release fixed a small number of trivial errors. (If you have an EmailShroud 2.0 and you are happy with it, I recommend you don’t bother upgrading.)

• Bugs Fixed
  • Plugin now initialises only after all plugins are loaded. This isn’t a visible improvement, but should aid localisation efforts.
  • A broken URL link fixed. (In EmailShroud 2.0, WordPress would guess the right location anyway, so this isn’t a visible improvement.
  • Avoids use of <? short-cuts for PHP, which are configured to be not supported on a small minority of installations. If your installation is working for EmailShroud 2.0, this will have no visible effect.
  • UI now correctly displays default configuration of Action Plan. If you ever updated the Action Plan, this won’t make a difference.

2.0.0

Released: 14 September 2006

This release was a substantial increase in functionality from the previous release.

• Features Added
  • Ensure no email addresses slip through when one anchor tag contains multiple email addresses – problem observed in field.
  • Support for XHTML Strict themes – problem observed in field. Changed Javascript from inline Document.write to DOM edits. Removes one set of complaints from XHTML validators, but adds another.
  • No follow tags added when redirecting to EmailShroud web-service. Prevents my site being found when searching the web for your name – problem observed in field.
  • Support for new obfuscation options: Shuffle/Replace and 3DES – response to user demand.
  • Published EULA: Artistic License – response to user demand.
  • Support for WordPress 2.0 Roles. No visible change to user.
  • Added version number information.
  • Include Javascript files via redirect, which you don’t care about but was a breakthrough for me.
• Features Removed
  • Support for link back to own template file. I asked anyone who managed to get it working to contact me. No-one did. Simplified system by removing it. Could be added back if anyone cares.
• Bugs Fixed
  • If the transformation rules resulted in a still-valid email address, and the excerpt was auto-generated, and the theme showed excerpts, then the transformation would be applied twice.
  • Garbage character removed from Update Options button.
