# Version 3.7 available for testing…

 * If anyone feels like trying out the next version, you can download it from [http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/nextgen-facebook.3.7.zip](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/nextgen-facebook.3.7.zip).
 * The new features in version 3.7 are:
 * * Added code to fetch the preview image URL for videos from Vimeo using Vimeo’s
   API.
 * * Moved the caching object (and it’s configuration variables) from the buttons
   class to the main NGFB class. This was necessary in order to use the cache object’s`
   curl()` features for Vimeo’s API.
 * * Added a `$cache = 'file'` default argument to the cache `get()` method – by
   passing it `$ret = 'raw'` and `$cache = 'wp_cache'`, it’s possible to use the
   method to raw fetch content (like an array from the Vimeo API).
 * * Renamed the `apply_content_filter()` method to `get_filtered_content()`, and
   added WP object cache code to save the filtered content. This should improve 
   performance (slightly) for websites without caching plugins.
 * * Added a `NGFB_WP_CACHE_EXPIRE` constant with a default value of 300 seconds.
 * Please let me know if you have any issues.
 * Thanks,
 * js.

 * FYI – Once I got started with the object cache (persistent and non-persistent),
   I decided to push it a little further. I’ve updated the v3.7 branch with lots
   of cache-related changes.
 * Enjoy! 😉

 * FYI – An updated list of features for v3.7:
 * * Added the “Object Cache Expiry” option with a default value of 60 seconds.
 * * Many changes to the NGFB caching class to use “file” (disk based), “wp_cache”(
   non-persistent), or “transient” (persistent) caches.
 * * Added *persistent* WP object caching code (using WP’s transient functions) 
   for the Open Graph meta tags, the social buttons widget, and shortcodes.
 * * Added *non-persistant* object caching code (using WP’s wp_cache functions) 
   to the filtered content, which may be used several times for a single webpage.
 * * Moved the NGFB caching object from the buttons class to the main NGFB class.
   This was necessary in order to use the cache object for Vimeo’s API.
 * * Added code to fetch the preview image URL for videos using Vimeo’s API.
 * * Renamed the `apply_content_filter()` method to `get_filtered_content()`.
 * * Fixed the URL used in Open Graph meta tags to keep the query string (minus 
   tracking arguments) for the search results webpage.
 * Using the WordPress `wp_cache` and `transient` functions should improve performance,
   especially for logged-in users and websites that aren’t using full-webpage caching
   plugins.

 * There were so many changes in 3.7, that I ended up renaming it to 4.0. 😉
 * Version 4.0 will be released shortly. Closing this thread.
