• Add Spanish translation (thanks to Ogi Djuraskovic from firstsiteguide.com)

• FB Graph API v2.0 introduces scoped userIDs, meaning profile urls can no longer be inferred from IDs alone. I now explicitly store Facebook profile urls to usermeta.
• FB Graph API v2.1 removes support for FQL; I’ve rewritten the avatar-fetching code so they it will work with newly-created apps.
• FB Graph API v2.1 breaks the “Enforce access to e-mail” premium feature. Until I have time to rewrite it, I’ve added a quick check to prevent it from breaking logins (note: this only applies to newly-created apps; the feature will continue work if you were already using it before).

• Widget uses wp_lostpassword_url() instead of site_url( ‘wp-login.php’ ), so that wp-login.php can be moved/renamed.
• Remove the “cURL not found” admin panel warning; it’s no longer required (as of v3.0.0)

3.1.1 (2013-06-20)

3.1.0 (2013-05-07)

• Revisions to satisfy wp.org’s (apparently) new, stricter repo rules…:
• Instead of redirecting to _process_login.php, _process_login.php is always included and logins are handled during “init” (via a $_POST check)

• Remove _autologin.php (it was extremely outdated & not necessary to the core plugin)
• Remove unused jQuery file
• Remove licensecheck

3.0.1 (2013-03-08)

• Update WP compatibility number
• Fix the image-based button preview in the admin panel teaser

3.0.0 (2013-03-07)

• IMPORTANT: If you’re a Premium user, please view FAQ46 BEFORE installing this update.
• IMPORTANT: If you’ve implemented any custom actions that utilize the Facebook API instance provided by this plugin, you’ll need to update your code to use graph URLs instead (i.e: jfb_api_get(“https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=”.$arg[‘access_token’])). Further examples can be found on the plugin documentation page.
• This update completely eliminates the dependance on the old Facebook PHP API, which will speed up logins, significantly reduce memory usage, and prevent errors on localhost servers without a public URL.
• This update also adds support for Premium addon v30, which provides many new features (including the ability to use image-based / css-styleable login buttons).

2.5.12 (2013-03-04)

• Display a warning for users who upload the premium addon to the wrong directory
• More descriptive error message for “Missing POST Data (access_token)”
• Cleanups to admin panel tab switching; refreshing the panel now restores the previously-shown tab

• Widget login form uses site_url (to support FORCE_SSL_LOGIN)
• Login callback redirects to _process_login.php over https if FORCE_SSL_LOGIN is enabled

• Check for a premium function before choosing the avatar cache dir
• Update the eStore link in one admin panel warning

2.5.10 (2013-02-08)

• Add appID and appValid to the Support Info tab
• Update the cURL test on the Support Info tab
• More descriptive instructions for users who’ve moved wp-config

2.5.9 (2013-01-15)

• Compatibility fix for BP Avatar Bubble

2.5.8 (2012-12-25)

• Fix compatibility with woocommerce (wp_login action was supposed to take 2 parameters)
• Remove xmlns:fb from the header tag. It doesn’t seem to be necessary for any modern browsers, and breaks validation for HTML5. If you find it necessary, you can always re-add it with a simple filter.

2.5.7 (2012-12-23)

• Fix for validating the API key/secret on servers with invalid SSL cert

2.5.6 (2012-12-23)

• jQuery is not working for some users on WP3.5. I explicitly enqueue it now.
• Fix mistake with prelogin error check

2.5.1 (2012-12-10)

• Combine the two profile picture queries into one (shave ~0.3s off of login time)
• Eliminate action wpfb_output_button, and cleanup jfb_output_facebook_btn for clarity (and in prep for a future change)

2.5.0 (2012-11-29)

• I’ve eliminated the need for the Facebook PHP SDK entirely. Although it’s still included and passed to the actions/filters for backwards-compatibility, calls to the Graph API should now performed via jfb_api_get() and jfb_api_post(), using the access_token provided. Specific changes:
• Rename jfb_get() to jfb_api_get()
• Add jfb_api_post() for API calls requiring HTTP POST
• Facebook JSON responses are decoded to associative arrays rather than objects (to match the format of the PHP SDK)
• Rename “accessToken” to “access_token” to better match the naming convention used by the Graph API
• Update jfb_post_to_wall() to avoid using the $facebook class
• Update all queries & error checks in _process_login.php to avoid using the $facebook class
• Rearrange things in _process_login.php, putting the $facebook initialization code into a “to deprecate” block
• Get rid of the 2.3.6 ‘one-time update’ code to store the app access token in the DB

2.4.1 (2012-11-27)

• Explicitly pass & check for the user access token in _process_login.php
• Provide the user access token to wpfb_session_established, wpfb_connect, wpfb_existing_user, wpfb_inserting_user, wpfb_inserted_user, and wpfb_login (so you can use it to query the Graph API in your addons)
• Cleanup jfb_output_facebook_callback()
• Fix a harmless notice that may appear if you have WP_DEBUG defined

2.4.0 (2012-11-26)

• I’ve eliminated the old REST PHP library, which was only being used to validate the AppID & Secret in the admin panel; validation is now done with Graph. IMPORTANT: If you’ve been using this plugin since the old “App Key” days (over a year ago) and the AppID in your admin panel is an old alphanumeric value, you should replace it with the new numeric-only AppID shown in your App’s settings on Facebook.
• Include the AppID in login logs

2.3.11 (2012-11-19)

• Add a few more things to the Support Info tab
• Update the Premium Options tab to reflect the latest addon version

2.3.10 (2012-11-11)

• Use wp_mail() instead of php mail() to send login logs (for servers with custom mail configurations)

2.3.9 (2012-11-01)

• Improve browser detection for login logs (+ add detection for Android & iPad)
• Login logs include the full useragent string

2.3.8 (2012-10-27)

• Get rid of old nonce debugging code
• Move the nonce check back to before the Facebook connection

2.3.7 (2012-10-22)

• Bug fix when error-detecting the token in the admin panel

2.3.6 (2012-10-21)

• When connecting with Facebook in the admin panel, cache the app token to the database (so addons/customizations can use it to access the API later)

2.3.5 (2012-10-20)

• Add log messages when each action/filter is run in _process_login.php (for debugging add-ins)
• Move the Facebook connection to before the nonce check
• Add a new action ‘wpfb_session_established,’ so we can talk to Facebook before anything else happens

2.3.4 (2012-10-16)

• Users who didn’t update to 2.3.1 when it was released may now have some malformed avatar URLs in their db (resulting in frontend ‘strpos’ error messages); this update will fix those avatars. Note: Please remember to update your plugin whenever a new version is released, as Facebook changes their API regularly and skipping updates can sometimes lead to unpredictable behavior.

2.3.3 (2012/08/20)

• Fixed a problem with Curl detection caused by FB changing things without telling people

2.3.2 (2012/08/16)

• Facebook has yet again broken their API, causing avatars to always fetch size 50×50 (even for the “large” size used by BuddyPress and some 3rd party themes). This update should work around FB’s bug, returning avatars to their former behavior.

2.3.1 (2012/07/21)

• Fix a rare bug with avatar fetching

2.3.0 (2012/02/22)

• Major performance improvement: logins should now be substantially faster on sites with large user databases.

• Update version compatibility number
• The ‘Failed to get the Facebook User Session’ error now refers to a specific FAQ.
• Add support for debugging memory usage and execution time (via the email logs)

• Add an admin panel check to warn users whose servers dont have JSON installed
• Add a new tab to the admin panel with “Support Info” (to include when reporting a bug/issue)

2.2.0 (2011-12-17)

• Nonce fix to resolve a conflict with Buddypress Groups, and potential validation issues with other plugins that use the default nonce name/action (thanks gbellucci!)
• Check for compatibility with WP3.3

2.1.9 (2011-12-13)

• Removed an old (now unused) database option that was getting written on every pageload (thanks Aaron Frerichs!)

2.1.8 (2011-11-28)

• Removed plugin sponsorship messages. See Automattic Bullies WordPress Plugin Developers — Again.

2.1.7 (2011-11-25)

• Fix: wpfb_extended_permissions filter was not being applied if neither “post to wall” nor “request email” options were checked.
• Add new BuddyPress XProfile mapping to the premium admin panel

2.1.6 (2011-11-24)

• All new TABBED Admin panel!
• Better error reporting for “wp_insert_user failed”
• Add a note to the “Delete All Options” section of the admin panel
• Eliminate old admin panel code related to updating .htaccess rules for autologin
• Fix: Username style was defaulting to the legacy format on Buddypress
• Fix: Admin panel was not properly showing when the new username format is selected

2.1.5 (2011-11-22)

• The “Buddypress-Friendly” username format (First.Last) seems to create issues with author links in WordPress, so I’ve added a new “First_Last” option (and left the old option there for legacy support only). If you have multiple authors and are using the “First.Last” format, you may want to change your username format.

2.1.4 (2011-11-16)

• Move the Wall Announcement code into a filter, so it can be removed/replaced/customized if desired
• Update WP compatibility number

2.1.3 (2011-11-15)

• Eliminate the outdated validate_php5.php file
• Update the instructions for creating an app (Facebook has changed things around yet again)

• Fix “wp_insert_user failed” bug (since 2.1.0)

2.1.1 (2011-10-29)

• Fix a critical bug introduced in 2.1.0: not prompting for e-mail could result in false user account matches (i.e. logging someone in as someone else). Please update now!
• Replace deprecated get_settings() with get_option()
• Add rel=nofollow to the lostpassword link

2.1.0 (2011-10-01)

• Update to use OAuth 2.0. NOTE: Premium users must also update their addons; see the support page for how.

• Apply sanitize_title to the nicename (thanks Espen Espelund)
• Add sponsorship message
• General cleanups to _process_login.php

2.0.4 (2011-06-09)

• Add a channelUrl to FB.init to resolve known bugs with the FB api

2.0.3 (2011-06-09)

• _process_login will now look for “rememberme” POST variable
• Added a new “wpfb_rememberme” filter, so you can override the above if desired

2.0.2 (2011-05-26)

• Handle relative paths in usermeta (for cached avatars)
• Get rid of some depreciated functions (get_usermeta -> get_user_meta)
• Add a new hook wpfb_add_to_asyncinit, so you can output your own JS after the Facebook API initializes
• Add a new filter wpfb_userinfo_permissions, so you can choose what userinfo permissions to ask for
• Check for function_exists(‘is_multisite’) to support older versions of WP
• More descriptive error message for “Nonce check failed.”
• More descriptive error message for “Failed to get the Facebook session.”

2.0.0 (2011-05-19)

• As Facebook has decided to shut off the old REST API on Sept 1, 2011, I’ve rewritten the core plugin to use the new Graph API. All Premium users must also update their addons to be compatible with this new core plugin.
• Removed “IE9 compatability mode” as it’s no longer relevant.
• Removed “Request and require email permissions” as it’s no longer relevant (all permissions are requested in a single popup, so one cannot be denied while approving the others).
• Show a warning to Premium users with an outdated version of the addon.

1.9.2 (2011-04-02)

• Add an “IE compatability mode”, so the old API will work on IE9. Can be disabled via debug options, but is enabled by default.

1.9.1 (2011-04-01)

• CSS id fbLoginButton is now class fbLoginButton, to fix validation issue if multiple buttons are placed on the same page
• NOTE: Premium users using the “ajax spinner” feature must also update their addon!

1.9.0 (2011-04-01)

• jfb_output_facebook_callback() is now automatically called by wp_footer; If you’re manually outputting your own Facebook buttons, you should now ONLY call jfb_output_facebook_btn() (explicitly calling jfb_output_facebook_callback() is no longer needed!)
• Premium comment-form buttons now not dependent on Widget buttons
• Output some html comments

1.8.9 (2011-04-01)

• Rename some functions that weren’t following convention
• jfb_output_facebook_callback() prevents itself from outputting duplicate forms on the same page

• Just some revisions to the admin panel

• Include the sitename in emailed login logs (helpful for people who admin multiple sites)

• Logging: On failure, show the accumulated log up to the point of failure
