WPBook 2.0.1, beta testers still needed
Once again, I’ve tagged a new version of WPBook for release. See the “other versions” section of the download page.
I’ve revamped the way permissions are requested, so as to store the session key Facebook provides when the user grants “offline access” permission. This enables WPBook to import comments from either the user’s Facebook Wall or the Wall of a Facebook Fan Page.
I’ve also added the ability to change the attribution line (the little blurb WPBook attaches to each message when you post it).
Given the complexity of all the different ways one might configure the application, though, I feel a need to get some folks testing it before making it the ‘default’ new release.
Warning: Don’t Run Lifestream and WPBook at the same time
Quick warning: don’t run WPBook with the latest version of the Lifestream plugin.
Here’s why it’s important to test plugin updates.
After my last post about beta testers for WPBook, I decided to go update my other plugins which had updates available, including Lifestream, which had an update to 0.99.9.8-BETA from 0.99.6 available.
So I jumped in without really doing any investigating of what changes there were – bad idea.
Here’s what I got for my mistakes:
Beta Testers Needed for WPBook
By John Eckman on July 7, 2010
I’ve just tagged version 2.0.0 of WPBook for release, but haven’t yet changed the “stable” tag in the readme.
What that means is that if you’re using WPBook, you won’t seen any automated notification of a newer version being available. You’ll have to go to the WPBook download page and find 2.0.0 at the top of the “other versions” list.
Please do so, especially if you are willing to help test the new features.
