• Added a validator which tests the UTF cleaner before applying it. If it fails to return the string that was passed in, we turn off the UTF cleaner. This will fix the import process for a number of blogs where iconv is broken or other encoding issues exist in the target environment.

3.11

• Fixing an issue with postback parent comments not being associated - which caused replies to appear at the top level in the WordPress comments section when livefyre is turned off.

3.10

• Skip invalid dates - the importer will choose a date (that of the article) if WordPress can't supply a valid date on export.

3.09

• Suppress comment changes to author fields when an approval activity is posted back to the plugin.

3.08

• Uses the new www.livefyre.com domain to avoid costly redirects.

3.07

3.05

• Added a unicode-cleansing character filter as per the spec http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#charsets. This resolves a rare issue where very old (upgraded) WordPress blogs sent Livefyre invalid characters during data export.

3.02

• Fixing syntax that was incompatible with php 4.x.

3.01

• Corrected use of 'siteurl' to 'home' instead when obtaining the site's base url for web service endpoints in the plugin.

2.37

• Added 'copy my comments' button for those who decide to import or who need to sync comments. Unfortunately until our 'full sync' solution is complete, the button is kind of dumb and is there all the time. It can't hurt tho - we'll never duplicate a comment thats already in the livefyre system.
• Added automated test for wp_head() template hook, to proactively notify users of compatibility issues.

2.36

• Improved the automated importer - it now limits the maximum number of queries to run for one chunk of xml (20) in addition to limiting the number of characters that are allowed in one chunk.
• Improved the automated importer - using local dates where GMT is unavailable on very old articles, presumably from versions of WP that didn't track gmt.
• Added a 'copy my comments' button to the options page for users who opted out of automatic import on the initial registration step.

2.33

• Added automatic comment sync for users who deactivate, then collect more comments in the wp db, then re-activate Livefyre.

2.31

• Securing the export process with a signature.

2.27

• Changes to ignore bogus/zero import dates.

2.26

• Adding phone-home on activation/deactivation of plugin, we now store the status on a Livefyre server for debugging purposes.
• Adding large blog import support - we now use chunk files with a central index delivered to Livefyre.com instead of one giant XML file of arbitrary length (regularly growing to the point of exhausting RAM).
• Making the livefyre interface behave correctly on pages (eg 'About') as well as posts.
• Not showing the livefyre interface on preview mode - this was breaking the title grabber.
• Only showing approved pingbacks/trackbacks.

2.25
