Netgold AVIF Converter

Changelog

1.0.9

  • Fix: Resolved an issue where some server configurations (e.g., LiteSpeed) ignored the file size check in .htaccess and served blank 0-byte AVIF files for skipped images.
  • Improvement: Implemented a new .nosave flag system. Excluded or unoptimized images now completely bypass the .htaccess rewrite rules, guaranteeing the original image is always safely served.
  • Improvement: Updated the uninstall.php routine to ensure a complete and clean removal of newly added plugin settings and .nosave marker files from the server.

1.0.7

  • Feature: Added Excluded Images option with a native Media Library picker for granular control.
  • Feature: Introduced Live Log Console, providing real-time, file-by-file reporting of conversion status and exact savings.
  • Security: Implemented Anti-RAM Shield to automatically skip images larger than 16 Megapixels, preventing server memory exhaustion.
  • UI: Redesigned Server Diagnostics into a clean, horizontal footer layout for a better dashboard experience.
  • Improvement: Enhanced smart skipping logic β€” the plugin now detects if an AVIF version would be larger than the original and skips it to maintain optimal page weight.
  • Translation: Full internationalization support with updated .pot and .po files for English and Polish.
  • Fix: Resolved JavaScript conflicts and initialized the Media Library frame using a Singleton pattern for better compatibility with other plugins.

1.0.6

  • Tweak: Added a version indicator to the bulk conversion dashboard UI for easier identification.

1.0.5

  • Fix: Addressed a rare edge case where corrupted images or unsupported color profiles (e.g., CMYK) caused the progress bar to stall. The plugin now gracefully detects unprocessable files and skips them, ensuring the bulk conversion always completes successfully.

1.0.4

  • Fix: Resolved an issue where server timeouts on heavy images resulted in broken, 0-byte files on the frontend. Implemented atomic file saving for bulletproof reliability.
  • Fix: Updated .htaccess rules to strictly serve AVIF files only if they are fully generated and valid (file size > 0).
  • Improvement: Enhanced the smart file size check. If a generated AVIF is heavier than the original, the plugin skips it and registers it as processed, preventing infinite conversion loops and ensuring the progress bar reaches 100%.
  • Feature: Added complete uninstall routine (uninstall.php). Deleting the plugin now fully cleans up the database and automatically removes all generated AVIF files from the server.

1.0.3

  • Feature: Added a Batch Size control slider (1-15) in settings. You can now adjust the processing speed to match your server capabilities and prevent timeouts on shared hosting.
  • Fix: Resolved a critical activation error on highly restrictive hosting environments by optimizing how WordPress core files are loaded.
  • Fix: Added a safety check for servers missing the GD image library to prevent fatal errors and gracefully disable the conversion tool.
  • Translation: Updated the native Polish (pl_PL) translation files with the latest interface strings.

1.0.2

  • Updated Plugin URI to the dedicated documentation page.
  • Added information about native Polish language support.

1.0.1

  • Fixed missing SVG icon in the WordPress admin menu.

1.0.0

  • Initial stable release.
  • Features real-time on-upload AVIF generation.
  • Bulk Conversion tool with batch-processing (CPU-safe) and smart resume capability.
  • Dynamic .htaccess routing with support for subdirectories and virtual paths.
  • Modern UI with disk space savings calculation.
