Changelog
This version sends an error back to the post edit screen when LJ is down rather than stopping WordPress entirely. Added support for userpics, cut text, [gallery] tags with the right images, and a proper box for the options on the Edit screen.
2.3.3
- Fixed notices
2.3.2
- Fixed yet another bug in the per-post comments settings. (#149)
- Fixed the relative link function to correctly ignore https URLs. (#148)
2.3.1
- Turned off the debug mode that was accidentally left on in 2.3. My apologies!
2.3
- Added support for custom friends groups. (#37)
- Fixed a problem where entries that were edited after being crossposted had the backdate option set, making them disappear from friends lists. This option is now set only when crossposting all entries in bulk. (#146)
- Fixed another bug in the per-post comments settings. (#149)
2.2.2
- Fixed the userpic and comment settings on individual posts. (#144)
- Added some helpers to work around servers that do not support PHP’s multibyte string functions.
2.2.1
- Fixed the new relative link function so it leaves full URLs alone. (#141)
- Now using WP’s HTTP API rather than curl_*(), which means the userpic retrieval functions should work on more servers.
