Version 0.8

• fixed header alert on plugins page
• fixed bold message under plugin row
• added more information and a apache_get_modules check
• moved apache_get_modules info to the top if apache_get_modules isn’t found

Version 0.7.8

• more accurate error reporting
• added wp_debug check
• displays a pass if wp_debug is true and debug bar is active

Version 0.7.7

• updated some warning text and rearranged server environment checks so all the server stuff is together and all the hosting stuff is after everything else

Version 0.7.6

• adds a check before wp_get_theme function is run
• adds more comments to code

Version 0.7.5

• added upload_max_filesize check
• added phpinfo link in the php section
• adds check for themeforest author uri
• adds php strict checking
• abstrats the version number at the bottom of the requirements check page to a function that gets it from the plugin version (so it doesn’t need to be updated in two places in every update)
• adds Media Temple check
• displays link to installed apache modules on mod_security warning
• makes error levels to look for an array

Version 0.7.4

• removed apache problems check (was detecting problems when there were none)

• moved mod_rewrite check to top of file, using $mod_rewrite as a global variable

Version 0.7.3

• adds an exception to the godaddy flag if using wp engine and displays a message if they are on a wp engine site

Version 0.7.2

• this update adds server environment variables for htaccess/mod_rewrite problems

Version 0.7.1

• minor update, adds initial default value for $apache_problems variable.

Version 0.7

• minor fix that hides apache version if it’s the same as the $webserver variable (which uses $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE']). probably doesn’t apply to most environments other than localhost installs that seem to dump more stuff into that variable.
• on my live server apache_get_version() just returns “Apache” with no actual version number…so this should only display if the two things are different (which they may well never be)…

• adds a check for htaccess and displays the contents of the htaccess file(s) if found. if not, displays an information message.

• displays apache version if apache_get_version is present
• displays a warning if mod_security or mod_rewrite are not found on an apache installation
• displays a fail if apache_get_modules is not found on an apache installation
• adds a flag for htaccess files in all possible directories and does a better check for if those files are found
• checks if the htaccess file exists before displaying the hidden div with the contents
• displays installed apache modules if apache_get_modules is present
• displays a requirements check version for debugging
• removes phpinfo link on requirements page for apache_get_modules error since it’s being displayed in the top fail error
• fixed some layout issues
• changed some language in the mod_rewrite/htaccess info alert
