Last friday Yasr 1.2.2 have been relased. This is an important update for rich snippets: in fact, due to the fact that json-ld for reviews are now fully supported on google, microdata have been removed. Further this, all error for BlogPosting type have been fixed 😉

A new feature have been added on multi-set: by default, they show a new row with the average. If you don’t want to show it just add this to the shortcode: show_average='no'

Full changelog:

* NEW FEATURE: by default Multi Set show now a newline with average rating: it’s possible to hide this simply adding the attriute show_average=’no’ in the shortcode
* TWEAKED: google support now json-ld for reviews: so microdata have been removed from yasr, that now use only json-ld. Further this, all blogposting error have been fixed
* FIXED: Multi Set cache didn’t get when it was edited
* TWEAK: code cleanup and bugfix

This the changelog for Yasr User Reviews 0.0.5

* NEW FEATURE: is now possibile to choose if rating and title should be mandatory or not
* TWEAKED: Removed microdata support

Good works people!

Amazing news! Yesterday Yasr 1.2.0 and Yasr Stylish 0.0.6 have been released.

Let’s check what is new in Yasr 1.2.0

* FIXED: if more then one visitor multiset for page were used only the last use to work
* TWEAKED: transient are used to cache ratings: this means that Yasr is faster then ever
* TWEAKED: shortcode creator is now above of tinymce. It now uses thickbox
* TWEAKED: added filter ‘yasr_filter_ip’ to filter stored ip address
* TWEAKED: code cleanup

The most important news is the use of transients. This mean that yasr does less query with the result that is much faster!
Another nice news is the shortcode creator: it’s not anymore inside tinymce but just above: see screenshoot.

Until version 0.0.5, Yasr Stylish use a file .css.php to serve dynamic css content. It was a simple and good method, but it was heavy for server resource. It have been replaced by inline css, it does the same job but is much faster!

Remeber to delete all your caches after the update
