Premium 2.27 / Free 4.24

2.27.7 / 4.24.6

• Security: Relevanssi will now strip tags from excerpt text (keeping only the whitelisted tags) to avoid XSS attacks. An attack was possible if you used comments for excerpts without search term highlighting (a highly unusual combo of settings) or if you had a malicious contributor. Thanks to Jack Taylor.
• Premium. Minor fix: Stop the Did you mean feature from returning the original search phrase as a suggestion.
• Minor fix: Improve performance by enabling caching for password protection check.
• Minor fix: Relevanssi’s removal of page builder shortcodes is less greedy and won’t cause missed content anymore.

2.27.6 / 4.24.5

• Security: Exporting logs now checks for user capability. The default setting is ‘manage_options’, but it can be adjusted with the relevanssi_options_capability filter hook.
• Security: Certain query parameters allowed SQL injection attacks. Thanks to Jack Taylor.
• Minor fix: Tag and category weights from settings page weren’t applied correctly.
• Premium. Minor fix: The block editor sidebar JS code was missing from the package.

2.27.5 / 4.24.4

• Security: Stop XSS attacks in comments when highlighting post content.
• Minor fix: Add support for disabling the Restrict Content Pro ‘Hide restricted posts’ option.
• Minor fix: Avoid errors from non-existing author_name values.
• Premium. Minor fix: More connection problems with PDF server are classified as temporary.
• Premium. Minor fix: Wiping server errors for attachments didn’t always work correctly.
• Premium. Minor fix: Click tracking permalinks are no longer passed through esc_attr() as that would sometimes break the links.

2.27.4 / 4.24.3

• New feature: New filter hook relevanssi_cached_post_object can be used to modify the cached post objects.
• Minor fix: Relevanssi cache population now creates stdClass objects instead of WP_Post objects to avoid out-of-memory issues. If you need WP_Post objects, use the relevanssi_cached_post_object filter hook to create them.

2.27.3

• Premium. Minor fix: Make click tracking code more error-resistant.
• Minor fix: Avoid problems with object custom field values.
• Premium. Minor fix: Fix problems with click tracking, pinning and WPML support.

2.27.2 / 4.24.2

• Excerpts were broken in 2.27.0 / 4.24.0. This update returns the custom excerpts.

4.24.1

• Fix to avoid database errors.

2.27.1

• Premium. The automatic updates were broken in 2.26.1. This version fixes the problem.

If you have already updated to 2.26.1 or 2.27.0, you can either update manually or fix the problem with this little snippet:

add_action( 'admin_init', function() {
	global $relevanssi_variables;
	$relevanssi_variables['autoupdate']->plugin_slug = 'relevanssi-premium/relevanssi.php';
} );

Adding this snippet to your site will fix the automatic updates in 2.26.1 and 2.27.0, and once you’ve updated to 2.27.1, you can remove the snippet.

• Minor fix: SEO Framework local search exclude option description now tells what the option actually does.
• Premium. Minor fix: Click tracking code is now only used when the click tracking option is enabled.
