2.5.2 (2021-04-30)

  • Bugfix: When a user is deleted, their local avatar image is removed as well.

  • Bugfix: Don't break stuff (another build process fix, for real this time).

2.4.2 (2021-01-15)

  • Bugfix: An unfortunate oversight in the build process led to crashes instead of the intended graceful failure when the installation requirements were not met.

2.4.1 (2021-01-10)

  • Bugfix: Don't break the site when the options value in the DB has become corrupted.
  • Bugfix: Workaround for maximum database key length when using MySQL < 5.7.7 or MariaDB < 10.2.2.

2.4.0 (2021-01-10)

  • Feature: Legacy (default) avatars are now properly cached and resized.
  • Feature: There are now API methods to get and set a user's (local) avatar (and their Gravatar and anonymous commenting policies).

  • Bugfix: A timestamp is added to uploaded avatar images for better browser caching in the Profile screen.

2.3.4 (2020-03-22)

  • Bugfix: Allow plain URLs as default avatars. Use the filter hook avatar_privacy_allow_remote_default_icon_url to allow third-party domains and avatar_privacy_validate_default_icon_url if you want to implement your own image URL validation.
  • Bugfix: Properly handle trackback/linkback avatars. This includes a workaround for avatars provided by the Webmention plugin. You can use avatar_privacy_allow_remote_avatar_url to prohibit third-party domains (the default is to allow them for webmentions) and avatar_privacy_validate_avatar_url if you want to implement your own image URL validation.
  • Change: Due to the trackback/linkback bug fix, the priority for pre_get_avatar_data filter can now be adjusted using the avatar_privacy_pre_get_avatar_data_filter_priority hook instead of being hardcoded.
