4SEO version 4.2.0

Written on .

Hello,

We're pleased to announce the release of 4SEO version 4.2.0. This is a feature and maintenance release, building up on version 4.0 addition of our Google Search Console integration:

Here are the highlights:

  • Now detecting and rejecting rules URL specification that have incorrectly UTF8-encoded specifications
  • Changed crawler user agent string as some rare servers can block the previous one for 'security' reasons
  • Default to using HTTP 1.1 for crawling the website. Allows crawling with some not so well configured servers
  • Changed crawler requests headers names as some rare servers can block the previous ones for 'security' reasons
  • Performance improvement: use HEAD requests on external links instead of regular GET. Can be disabled with a filter
  • Added simple activity breadcrumb recorder to global error handler
  • When URL rewriting is not in use, there may be a double /index.php/ in the canonical URLs automatically injected
  • When multiple URLs are listed to trigger a single rule, only the first URL is taken into account
  • Possible Data too long for column content_id error when analyizing pages with very long URLs
  • (wbLib) Some types of links with specific query variables can sometimes be reported as 404 while they are not

Please see this page for a full changelog. This release is immediately available both from the download area and using the one-click Joomla! updater of your web site.

Best regards
