This was recently brought to my attention by Adam Messinger who had trouble accessing this blogs’ feeds through a .NET based feed reader. Apparently …this is caused by a known bug in WP 1.2, which produces HTTP headers that don’t sit well with .Net since a security patch released early this fall. Readers written with .Net refuse to process affected WP feeds, citing an “HTTP protocol violation.” An easy fix for this can be found at http://technospin.org/index.php?p=14. Apparently this has been addressed already in the forums and in the CVS from what I see. WordPress 1.2.1 DOES NOT have this fix, but the CVS and all 1.3 Alphas do have it. So if you are running WordPress 1.2 or WordPress 1.2.1 and have not applied this fix, I suggest that you open up your wp-blog-header.php and replace the “Last Modified” (at line 77) with “Last-Modified”. Thanks Adam!

Basically, a few new features that people were missing – such as the ability to check comments already held for moderation (maybe because the comment already had too many links or because you moderate all comments) against the WPBlacklist blacklist :p Before this, people setting all comments to be moderated were out of luck if they wanted to use the auto-deletion feature of WPBlacklist since the plugin would either delete all comments held for moderation (if you checked the deleted comments held for moderation outside of WPBlacklist option) or simply hold everything and not check the comments against the blacklist. This has now been fixed. In addition to this, I’ve also added the option to harvest data for the blacklist from comments found via the search feature and made a few minor enhancements. One major bug fixed was the inclusion of code to check […]
