Pro users: Note the version jump. This is to distinguish the Pro version from the free version. Plugins are not allowed to be edited by themselves, which was the method I was using to add features. Also, a free version is not allowed to have disabled features existing in the code. So I have created a free version that now complies and a Pro version that is fully featured. But I need to make sure that when you have the Pro version it doesn’t upgrade to the free version, so I have added ‘100’ to the version number. I doubt the free version will ever catch up.
Policy compliance: Version 3 of SpeakOut! included a method of upgrading that turned out to be a WordPress plugin policy breach (4 months later!). Their security scan also identified some code that needed improvement – this is a good thing. This version of SpeakOut! remedies all these issues and introduces a more cumbersome (for users), but compliant method of upgrading.
bug fix: Various fixes for bugs found while create V4
