No search engine should ever list an RSS feed as a result in the resultpages. * Admin, login and registration pages are always noindexed now for the same reason. * Search result pages are now always noindex, follow. * Subpages of the homepage are now also noindex, follow. It just doesn't make sense to index,follow those especially with the new rel="prev" and rel="next" changes. * The option to add `nosnippet` and `noarchive` meta tags sitewide has been removed. No one in his right mind would want to do that, and if you do, then adding the robots meta to your template yourself should be doable. * Pinging search engines with your RSS feed is no longer part of this plugin (as its unneeded because the XML sitemaps do that). * UTF-8 characters in RSS footer no longer break. * Added the option to use the author name and link in the RSS header and footer using %%AUTHORLINK%%. * No longer show the admin bar SEO menu for subscribers. * Some style changes to make the backend look nicer in WP 3.2 and 3.3. * Bug with importing settings fixed. * No longer redirect attachments that have no parent. * Correctly grab thumbnail for OpenGraph settings. * Pages now get the correct priority (0.8). * Added the option to noindex or completely disable post format archives. = 1.0.2.3 = * Fixed some edge cases with rel=next and rel=prev, particularly relating to a paginated page as a frontpage. * Updated the snippet preview so the date part of the snippet has the right color. * Fixed a bug in the update routine that could cause errors in the backend. * Enabled OpenGraph meta box on edit screens, first "stab". = 1.0.2.2 = * Removed all rel=index, rel=prev etc references that WP core currently uses as they're wrongly implemented. * Added rel=prev and rel=next for paginated posts and pages. * Removed the interface options for all rel= links, they're off by default now. * Removed the option to hide the version number. It's very easy to detect the version number anyway so let's not clutter the interface. = 1.0.2.1 = * I missed a case where the next link would point to the current page, fixed it though :) = 1.0.2 = * Fixed keyword in slug detection on non-post post types. * Optimizations in canonical functionality, adding canonicals to author archives and more. * Added prev and next links as [suggested by Google](http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/09/pagination-with-relnext-and-relprev.html). * Fixed issue with unescaped characters in title and description when updating edit screen. * Posts with a canonical set to another URL are no longer included in the XML sitemap. = 1.0.1 = * Fixed a bug where canonical would be set to /page/1/ on archives. * Fixed an error for blocking files. * Fixed a JS error that would cause the link editor in the rich editor not to work. * Fixed possible error when reading settings have gone haywire (ie not 'posts' or 'page' on front but something else). = 1.0 = * I now dare call this plugin STABLE.

This also allows you to save XML Sitemap settings again. * Sitemaps now contains all the last updated posts (under 1,000) of one post type in one new XML sitemap, so SE only has to crawl one sitemap per post type. * XML Sitemap Index file is now being pushed into cache if a caching plugin is active (by loading it through a cron job). * No longer breaks when `get_post_type_archive` doesn't exist. * Metaboxes / Edit Post: * Proper escaping of attribute values / already filled boxes. * Bug in bolding / keyword recognition JS code. * Background of tab content is now white again. * Taxonomies: * Fixed bug that could prevent noindex from showing up. * Other: * Admin menu works properly again and has XML Sitemaps menu added. = 0.4.1 = * Fixes bug in saving XML Sitemap and Dashboard settings. * Forces flush of rewrite rules so XML sitemaps start working immediately after enabling. * Adds a line of copy to the XML Sitemaps page to point the user at the index sitemap file. = 0.4 = * Fixes: * XML Sitemaps: * Complete rewrite of the XML Sitemap system, now using a sitemap index file and sitemap files per taxonomy and post type.

Use `%%cf_<custom-field-name>%%` and it'll be replaced with your custom field. So for instance %%cf_city%% when your custom field is named "city". * Removed some of the tabs and empty lines the plugin was outputting. * Added some filters: * `wpseo_sitemap_urlimages` so you can add images to the sitemap, found in inc/class-sitemaps.php * `wpseo_title` and `wpseo_metadesc` in frontend/class-frontend.php = 0.3.5 = * Fixes: * Issue in post / page editor with link dialog and other plugins using jQuery UI. * No longer uses Google JS API for jQuery UI, but just include jQuery UI autocomplete library and uses the rest from WP core. * No longer uses Google JS API for jQuery UI CSS, but included the needed classes in the plugins CSS files. * Properly update sitemap for custom post types on publication. * Fixed a notice in heading detection when no headings were found. * Fixed a typo in Page Analysis messages. = 0.3.4 = * Fixes: * CSS issue caused by 0.3.3. * Some security issues, thanks Jon Cave and Andrew Nacin for pointing them out and helping to fix! = 0.3.3 = * Fixes: * CSS collisions due to too generic class names. * Issue with outbound link recognition caused in 0.3.2. * Improved first paragraph detection. * Word count is now correct for non western european languages too. * Keyword detection in content and first paragraph in Cyrillic, Russian and other languages. * Handling of UTF-8 slugs. * Proper detection of keywords underneath the focus keyword input field by using word boundaries. * Proper keyword bolding and counting in snippet preview for Cyrillic, Russian and other languages. * Proper counting of length of description and title for strings with accents or non-ASCII characters. * No longer calculating Flesch score for non-English, as it's not correct. * Related keywords button works again. * Several performance improvements to edit post page JavaScript. * Also: * Notice now properly tells you to save as draft or update a post to see new Linkdex analysis.

I don't like them but there's sufficient demand apparently. Works for homepage, post types, author pages and taxonomies. * Added an option to disable the advanced part of the edit post / page metabox. * Added option to disable date display in snippet preview for posts. * Multisite Network Admin page added, with three features: * The option to make WordPress SEO only accessible to Super admins instead of site admins. * The option to set a "default" site, from which new sites will henceforth acquire their settings on creation. * The option to revert a site to the "default" site's settings. = 0.1.8 = * Notice: The functionality in the post / page editor has changed quite a bit. Meta descriptions are now generated using the meta descriptions template if no meta description is entered, so it will for instance use the post excerpt, the SEO title is no longer filled automatically BUT it is properly shown in the snippet preview based on your title template.
