= Changelog Entries =
In the following list there are links to the changelog of each release:
- [1.8.16](http://www.codetrax.org/versions/330)
- Note: This release aims at the resolution of various kinds of problems including invalid HTML 5, the automatic addition of proper licensing metadata for each media file that is used in a post, the customization of the author to whom the text/media is attributed and various other enhancements and fixes. The implementation required some thought. Possibly some code refactoring will be required at some point too. So, I have to call this an _experimental_ release. To the best of my knowledge it works as expected. If you notice any issues or have any suggestions, please provide your feedback on the [issue tracker](https://github.com/gnotaras/wordpress-creative-commons-configurator/issues) at Github.
- Enhancement: It is now possible to exclude licensing information from specific pages or parts of the web site by using the `bccl_exclude_license` filter hook. An [example](http://www.codetrax.org/projects/wp-cc-configurator/wiki/Customization#Exclude-licensing-information) has been added to the wiki.
- Enhancement: It is now possible to generate separate licensing information for each of the media that are attached to the post. A notice about the license of each attachment is also appended to the caption. This feature is currently experimental. Needs to be enabled in the plugin settings. This feature has not been tested yet with audio/video attachments with multiple sources. A big thanks to Agnes from live-karikaturen.ch for ideas and detailed feedback about this feature.
- Enhancement: It is now possible to force alternative author attribution for a post, page, attachment, etc directly from the post's edit screen (_License_ metabox). This is useful in case you republish CC licensed works made by third parties and want to attribute the work to the original author. If you include such external works inside your posts, please also take a look at the _Separate Media License_ feature in order to properly generate licensing metadata for the attached media.
- Translation: CC-Configurator now ships with a complete Turkish translation thanks to the work of Ertuğrul Harman. Thank you, Ertuğrul!
- Fixed: Issue with the language code of the Turkish translation which had been submitted using a language code not supported by WordPress. Thanks to Ertuğrul from ertugrulharman.com for collaboration regarding the resolution of this issue.
- Fixed: Issue with the author name which appeared empty in AMP pages.
- Fixed: The `width` and `height` attributes are now set on the `img` element of the license image.
- Fixed: Issue with CSS which prevented the license image from being center aligned in AMP pages.
- Fixed: The `href` attribute is no longer used inside the `span` element.
- Fixed: The AUTHORS file now points to the translations project at Transifex where more information can be found about each translation team and individual translators. Maintaining a list of translators in that file currently involves much manual work as it is currently impossible to generate such a list in an automatic manner.
- Fixed some minor issues with CSS.
- Improved checks for licenses without a license URL.
- Other minor bug fixes.
