WP-Members Download Protect 1.9.10 was released with a number of updates and improvements. This update debugs some API functions and CLI commands.
Improvements
The RocketGeek utilities library is removed in this update. This is a code library that had been included in all of the premium extensions in case there were changes that were not included in the version packaged with the core plugin. However, at this point in time, it is better to rely on the core plugin, since that always contains the most up-to-date package. This avoids unnecessary file inclusion and potential for version conflicts.
This version specifies the “autoload” value for its stored options. WordPress allows options to be automatically loaded when WordPress loads, not automatically loaded, or left up to WordPress to decide. My interest in plugin development is always to have the most efficient loading possible – only loading what is needed when it is needed and keeping things as lightweight as possible. Adjusting to a specific value for autoload has already occurred in the core plugin and it is now being evaluated and updated in the premium extensions. In the User List, the only option value that will autoload is the main settings. These are loaded anyway anytime the core plugin loads, which is every page load. All other options are explicitly defined to load when requested, so they will not load automatically with a page load, keeping your autoloaded option values at a minimum.
Bug Fixes
This version applies some bug fixes to various API functions and CLI commands. The primary focus was on testing the CLI import and move commands. Through this testing, there were some bugs discovered in the API functions that are used in the CLI commands.
