Changelog

This plugin uses semantic versioning, with the first release being 0.1.

1.2

  • Enhancement: Code quality improvements
  • Enhancement: Because the code size was getting a little spicy, I’ve split into smaller, more manageable, files
  • Maintenance: I’ve been really inconsistent with my naming, and that may have been causing some issues – I’ve now corrected all references of no-self-pings to no-self-ping (except for the setting database name, which hasn’t been corrected).

1.1.5

  • Bug: Oh boy. Ever have one of those Thursdays? I restored the settings description in the last release but then managed to break some of the content of that sentence. It’s now… fixed. I hope

1.1.4

  • Bug: Fixed some missing output on the settings screen. Oopsie

1.1.3

  • Enhancement: Improved plugin meta
  • Maintenance: Beefed up code quality even more

1.1.2

  • Enhancement: Because minimum VIP standards are just not enough, it now follows their hard-as-snails, full-strength standards. Because your code is worth it
  • Enhancement: Improved accessibility where we’ve added the new field to the admin settings, so it’s now WCAG 2.0 compliant

1.1.1

  • Enhancement: Code quality enhancements to bring it in line with WordPress.com VIP coding standards

1.1

  • Enhancement: A second update in the same month? It’s like all our Christmas’ come at once. Well, I’ve now added an (optional) field to the Discussion settings so that you can specify even more domains that should’t be pinged. You’re welcome.
  • Enhancement: Added additional security – escape all the things!

1.0

  • Enhancement: Now using home_url() instead of get_option( 'home' ), as it’s more SSL friendly
  • Enhancement: Added plugin meta

0.2

  • Enhancement: Argument removed

0.1

  • Initial release
