2.0.3 (2016-01-13)

• New Features
  • Allow adding custom CSS rules to control the look and feel of
    recaptcha instances. To enable this feature, navigate to BWP
    reCAPT >> Theme Options, choose to enable Custom CSS, and then
    customize the default CSS rules however you like.
• Enhancements
  • Allow setting a request method to work around the “invalid-json” error.
    With this change fsockopen is preferred to cURL, and will be the first
    to be used to communicate with reCAPTCHA’s server.
• Other Changes
  • Marked as compatible with WordPress 4.4+.
  • Update language template file and translation files. If you’re a
    translator, please help translating this plugin (your name and website
    will be listed on this plugin’s page!) For more info, see:

• Bugs fixed
  • Fix a bug that results in captcha not showing on certain login pages.
    Affected login pages include:
    • Login page that uses secured HTTP (HTTPS)
    • Login page of a child blog in a sub-directory multisite
      installation.

2.0.2 (2015-10-30)

• New Features
  • Add an option to treat invalid captcha as spam or a validation error.
    For more info, see:
    http://contactform7.com/spam-filtering-with-akismet/.
    • If you treat invalid captcha as validation error, it is now
      possible to customize the error message shown under the captcha
      as well.
    • Previously, for the recaptcha shortcode tag to work you must add
      it to your form like this: [recaptcha a-field-name]. The field
      name is now optional, but is still needed if you want to show the
      error message.
• Other Changes
  • Update language template file. If you’re a translator, please help
    translating this plugin! For more info, see:
    http://betterwp.net/wordpress-tips/create-pot-file-using-poedit/
  • Display recaptcha error code when an unknown error occurs.
  • Show the option to toggle recaptcha version in PHP 5.3.2+ only. This
    means in PHP < 5.3.2 there’s no option to select recaptcha version,
    recaptcha version 1 will always be used. This should affect the theme
    options page as well.
  • Add back support for PHP 5.2.
• Bugs fixed
  • Should always set a correct width for login/registration form so
    recaptcha fits well inside.
  • Fix recaptcha v1’s display in themes that define table-layout: fixed
  • Auto-detect request method for recaptcha v2 to support server with
    allow_url_fopen disabled.

2.0.0

• New Features
  • Add support for reCAPTCHA version 2
  • Add support for multiple reCAPTCHA instances per page (reCAPTCHA
    version 2 only)
  • Add an HTTPS setting for reCAPTCHA version 1
• Enhancements
  • Add support for Contact Form version 4.x
  • Add support for custom login/register paths
  • Add reCAPTCHA before the submit field in comment form for WordPress 4.2
    or higher
  • Use a lower priority when filter the comment_form_defaults filter
    hook so reCAPTCHA can still be added to themes that filter it as well
• Other Changes
  • Change minimum PHP version required to 5.3.2
  • Show the captcha to all users (including admins) by default
  • Contact Form 7:
    • The shortcode [bwp-recaptcha] has been deprecated, use
      [recaptcha recaptcha-xxx] instead.
    • bwp-recaptcha will continue to work for Contact Form 7 prior to
      version 4.1 (last supported is 4.0.3). bwprecaptcha and
      bwp_recaptcha will still work with version 4.1+, so you won’t
      have to manually update any form if you’re using them.
  • Add a Croatian translation
  • Layerthemes.com has become an official sponsor for BWP Plugins!
• Bugs fixed
  • Fix Akismet integration not working properly
  • Don’t output comment form related fields in other forms, which leads to
    extraneous markups in Contact Form 7 forms
  • Create session only when needed and on demand
  • Fix an issue where saving sub blog’s API keys overwrites network’s API
    keys in a multisite installation
• API
  • BWP_RECAPTCHA::load_captcha_library() has been removed, the PHP
    reCAPTCHA library is now autoloaded whenever needed (for reCAPTCHA
    version 1).
