Updates.. Who says they work?

I might go do some updating here soon. I need new direction. :P

So, somewhere about 2 hours ago.  (around 10pm EST).. I dinged 80.  Started 1am Thursday morning.

Now it’s time to sleep.

so long and thanks for all the fish, originally uploaded by shidobu.

Just an old photo… Can’t help but laugh at it still.

So, in an effort to speed up the parsing, and possibly just make the script snazzier, I found a slight bug in the code. Regardless, I fixed the bug and uploaded a new version.

v0.5.2 (2008-06-12)

• Rewrote the replacement method (substr_replace -> strtr). Should be -slightly- faster.
• Fixed an error in the item search string. Item links that were next to one another were being considered the same link.

I found some small errors and a fix for non-cURL enabled users yesterday. Nothing major critical-script changing issues. :P

v0.5.1 (2008-06-11)

• Fixed an issue with open_short_tags (<?) being disabled. My laziness prevails.
• Added the old retrieve method from v0.1 if the script cannot find the cURL functions. Making the install and set-up even easier.

That’s all, same download link as before. So if you downloaded from the last post and your script didn’t work, I recommend you update!

It’s finally in a very good working shape! And it best be, considering I’ve been punching at it all night. :P

*EDIT*
Quick statement, since I forgot.
TO UPDATE TO THE NEW VERSION YOU NEED TO DEACTIVATE AND ACTIVATE THE PLUGIN AGAIN. THIS IS REQUIRED SINCE I UPDATED THE DATABASE VERSION.

Thank you, that is all. Please continue to enjoy your regularly schedule blog post.

Patch Notes:

v0.5 (2008-06-10)

• Options Panel added
  • Change Icon Size
  • Change Link Language
  • Flush Database
• XML Parser rewritten, should be faster and no longer require anymore rewrites… Hopefully.
• Version checking on install/activation. Should update out-dated database versions to the newest version.

And what everyone really has been waiting for:

• [itemico] tags
• Different languages! Currently supported are: German, French and Spanish. These are entirely dependent on what Wowhead has added. If they add more, so will I.
• Also, link tags! Added for the itemico link mainly, so you can change the display size of an icon independently the blog’s defaults.
  • Options: size=small|medium|large
  • Example: [ itemico size=small][/itemico]
