Hello,
Yes sure, I will explain the story behind this new release.
My email was bounced when some automatic email tried to reach me. As a result, all my plugins have been removed from the WordPress repository (they though I did not maintain the plugin anymore).
When I contacted them to explain I’m still present, I had to release a new version to confirm the plugin is compatible with WP 6.1. Since the plugin was already compatible, I just changed the compatiblity version (so I wrote “nothing special” on the release note. Yes, now I realized I should have be more explicite).
About the security: their process to restore a plugin require an audit from their team. They checked it deeply and it was approved.
To resume : there is no problem about the security, the plugin was removed due to a bounced email.
Hope it’s clear enough. Let me know if you have some questions.
Thanks for your message “great plugin” it’s always a pleasure to hear this. 🙂
Have a nice day.
Hey @funnycat,
Thank you for the explanation.
For future reference, and based on what you stated above, can you change your Changelog for V1.9.2 to state: “Compatible with WordPress 6.1” instead of “Nothing Special”?
Also, going forward, adding a revision date to each of your changelog entries (i.e., versions) would be helpful as well. Example: https://prnt.sc/hiRJtnN_eqtS
Again, thank you.
Indeed, it’s 2 great advices. Thanks.
I just did it (and will follow this advice for future release).
Have a nice day.
