Added in OpenID Comments 1.6 14 Apr

  • Finds userpic/avatar images in commenters’ FOAF profiles, and provides them with the MTCommentAuthorPictureURL tag.
  • Properly handles cancelled signins.
  • Signing out of the blog no longer signs commenters out of TypeKey.
  • Per-blog option to disable inline styles in the SignOnThunk tags.

Features added in OpenID Comments 1.5 14 Nov

  • If a commenter’s OpenID specifies a FOAF document or Atom feed, the name from that document is used for the commenter’s display name.

Bugs fixed in OpenID Comments 1.4 24 Oct

  • Dynamic publishing support has been added.
  • The spurious schema reupgrading bug has been fixed. After installing, one more upgrade will be performed. The extra OpenIDIdentity records created by the bug should be removed in this final upgrade.

Bugs fixed in OpenID Comments 1.3 beta 18 Sep

  • Support for MySQL and Postgres databases has been added.
  • The OpenID and LiveJournal icons were linked inconsistently between the CommentAuthorIdentity and OpenIDSignOnThunk HTML.
  • An error was reported to Blogger or Atom API clients when MT attempted to rebuild pages due to an API action (for example, saving a post).
  • Sign-ins to a blog that required email addresses from commenters were allowed, in spite of the sign-in preventing the user from entering an email address, thus causing actual posting of a comment to fail. Sign-ins to a blog that requires email addresses from commenters are now denied immediately.
  • The special display of LiveJournal users’ OpenIDs only occurred when signing in as http://www.livejournal.com/users/username/ , not as http://username.livejournal.com/ or http://www.livejournal.com/~username/ .
  • When using both the OpenIDSignOnThunk and LiveJournalSignOnThunk tags, both created a div id=”openid”, which is not valid HTML.
  • The input field and button in the thunk tag HTML were not sufficiently addressable by CSS descriptors. Both now sport their own CSS classes.
  • Pages with background colors other than white would show the same background color on the thunk tag input field. That field now always has a white background.
  • On the commenter list and edit screens, OpenID commenters’ identities and profile links were incorrect. This is now fixed for users with BigPAPI installed.
