Comments on: Clean Options Plugin Release Candidate

WordPress version 3.0 has some significant changes from earlier versions.

Clean Options version 1.3.2 should work with WordPress 3.0 with the exception that if MULTISITES is enabled, the plugin will only find options found in the primary blog's wp_options table.

Clean Options version 1.3.2 is the last planned version release for older WordPress versions. No new features or translations will be added.

It is highly recommended that you keep your blog up to date. If for some reason you can not upgrade and are running a WordPress version older than 3.0, you can still find support for Clean Options 1.3.2 at the Mittineague Forums (registration required to post)

Clean Options 2.0.0 is currently being developed. It will not be fully compatible with older versions of WordPress, but it will be compatible with WordPress 3.0, including finding options if MULTISITES is enabled. However, portions of the i18n l10n files will not have translations for any of the new text – unless and until they are provided.

In short:
If you are running WordPress less than 3.0, use Clean Options 1.3.2
If you are running WordPress 3.0 or greater, please use Clean Options 2.0.0 as soon as it is available.

* 1.3.2 26-Jun-2010
* – updated the $known_ok array (for WordPress 3.0)
* – de_DE German translation
* – nl_NL Dutch translation

"The Options table currently has 16777 found rows."

I clicked on the button below that and nothing but "Clean Options" and times out in seconds.

Any suggestions?

This version release contains some improvements and another translation or two. For those that are using the current version of WordPress (and we all really should be IMHO) the plugin allows for the removal of obsolete core options.
In the option pre-delete preview panel, timestamps are now also shown in human readable time format to aid those that can't easily understand timestamp values (and who can?).
The string search feature now also searches WordPress core files.
The regular expressions have been improved to better find legitimate options.
And there is a Serbian (Cyrillic) translation in the main languages folder as well as a Serbian (Latinica) translation in the languages/extra folder for those that may prefer that instead.

1.3.1 27-Mar-2010
* allow 2.9.1 blogs to remove 2.8 transient options
* added timestamp to blog date/time format in review
* updated $known_ok array
* get_all_yes_autoload_options() optimization
* expanded string search to core files
* added 'site' to regex pattern
* added get_transient regex
* sr_RS Serbian Cyrillic translation
* sr_RS Serbian Latinica translation
* minor typo fixes
* updated older translation files

Croation (Hrvatski)

* updated the $known_ok array (for WordPress 2.9)

I think it's better to move CleanOptions link under Settings tab.

Despite the security hole with versions of WordPress < 2.8.4, some users still run older versions. So I have added a fix for those with WordPress < 2.7

But I have also removed a feature that is only available with WordPress < 2.3, that being the option description in the "pre-delete review" screen.

This version also has a Belarusian translation.

1.2.3 10-Sep-2009

* removed WordPress < ver. 2.3 feature
* WordPress < ver. 2.7 fix
* be_BY Belarusian translation

* uk_UA Ukrainian translation

Clean Options version 1.2.1 has quite a few changes. Some Core options that were missed in version 1.2.0 have been added to the "known core" array so that they won't be accidently removed. Thankfully, the SimplePie "transient" options seem to take care of themselves and do not clutter the database with obsolete feed data like Magpie did. Because of this, bloggers that are using WordPress version 2.8+ can now remove all of the "rss" options.

As not all blogs have the default content and plugin folder arrangement, the Clean Options plugin now works for those non-default blogs.

Even though the plugin has been using nonces, it now also has a capability check for even more security.

The first of the translations, in ru_RU Russian, has been completed and is included in this version.

1.2.1 14-Aug-2009

* added more "transient"s
* allow 2.8+ blogs to remove all obsolete rss_hash rows
* allow for non-default folder locations/names
* improved unpaired rss block
* capability check for added security
* eliminate 2.8+ false warnings
* ru_RU translation
* minor tweaks
* changed Version History to Changelog in readme
