Hello,

We're pleased to announce the release of sh404SEF version 4.13.2. This is a maintenance release with just a bug fixes and minor changes.

Here are the highlights:

  • Can have 404 errors on some links on some components, if set to 'Use Joomla router', '301 redirect from Joomla SEF' is enabled and some combination of menu items configuration.
  • Canonical created from the URL manager since version 4.13 may not be taken into account in some cases.
  • Canonical URLs set to the same page are not inserted into the page.
  • Create longer description when automatically generating meta description, around 250 characters.
  • Do not remove initial slash when recording a 404, may hide some useful information
  • Remove {field} and {fieldgroup} tags from automatically generated meta description
  • Analytics IP exclusion now operates on servers behind proxies
  • When using Joomla router for an extension, remove any trailing slash on the path as can hit routing bugs in some extensions (DOCMan)
  • URL source recording now also records a new URL duplication rank
  • Limit alias index size on shURL database table, for systems which enforce index size limits
  • Added back using JRequest for extensions not compliant with Joomla API such as Mijoshop.
  • Added more sanitization to the '301 redirect from Joomla SEF' feature, to account for Joomla router parsing invalid URLs.

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.
