Changelog

1.0

  • Created

1.1

  • Apparently if a plugin hasn’t been updated in over 2 years, WordPress.org removes it from the public plugin directory under the assumption that it is no longer maintained. That’s my punishment for getting it right the first time, I guess.

    So, I herped the version number. Derp.

1.2

  • Derp.

1.3

  • Don’t keep herping after un-derping. Herp.

1.4

  • Derpier herps.

1.5

  • Made the JS be asyncable. Eliminated some PHP warnings.

1.6

  • Moved the “Herp by default” checkbox to the “Settings / Discussion” page.

1.7

  • Omit unnecessary derpery on feed pages.
