General Availability Target Date: February 7th, 2017

Downloads

• Comet Cache Lite v170201-RC
• Comet Cache Pro v170201-RC (requires being logged into cometcache.com)

Changelog

• New Feature: Comet Cache can now be configured to automatically clear the cache for date-based archive views whenever any single post is cleared due to changes in content, title, etc. See: Dashboard → Comet Cache → Plugin Options → Automatic Cache Clearing → Auto-Clear "Date-Based Archives" Too?. See also: Issue #724.
• New Pro Feature: Apache Optimizations now include a new option that allows site owners to enforce an exact host name for all requests. See: Dashboard → Comet Cache Pro → Plugin Options → Apache Optimizations → Enforce an Exact Host Name?. See also: Issue #101.
• Bug Fix: Apache detection sometimes inaccurate. So instead of using default WP core globals for server detection, Comet Cache now uses it's own set of Apache/Nginx/IIS detection functions. And, this release enhances our Apache and Nginx detection routines; making them smart enough to catch additional edge cases; i.e., to further reduce the likelihood of there being a false-positive. See Issue #748.
• Bug Fix: Some XML-RPC and REST API requests were being cached inadvertently. See Issue #855.
• Bug Fix: Broken textarea field due to white-space:nowrap in Firefox. See Issue #866.
• Bug Fix: This release resolves empty directories being left in the cache folder, in some scenarios. See Thread #866.
• Bug Fix (Pro): Some REST requests were being redirected incorrectly whenever Apache Optimizations were enabled. See Issue #855.
• Compatibility Bug Fix: Some Jetpack API calls were being cached inadvertently. See Issue #855.
• Enhancement: Notes in HTML source now indicate fully functional on first load for improved clarity. See Issue #860.
• Enhancement: Enhancing security by removing basename(__FILE__) from direct access notices.
