DragonByte SEO v1.0.0 Release Candidate 3 Released!

[Fillip H.]

Hey all,

DragonByte SEO v1.0.0 Release Candidate 3 has been released! This update adds Canonical URL Enforcement, which automatically redirects to the canonical URL for whatever DBSEO-rewritten page you're viewing. This helps eliminate the possibility of duplicate content penalties by search engines that do not respect the Canonical URL HTML tag.

We've also fixed over half a dozen bugs as reported by you guys.

We anticipate the Gold (and Lite) version to be released within a few weeks, after we're confident the product is relatively bug-free.


Below is the complete changelog for this version.


New Features Added

Canonical URL Enforcement

• Supported URL formats will now 301 redirect to its canonical URLs
• Prevents duplicate content
• Improves compatibility with old URLs

Bug Fixes And Issue Fixes:

• The External URL redirect code would not work for HTTPS URLs
• Internal URLs will now once again link correctly
• Social Sharing buttons shown in post content will now work if the user has no signature
• In rare scenarios, external URL tracking code could be added to JS-generated links that did not lead to an external URL at all
• Fixed invalid "showpost.php" URLs in some scenarios
• A missing phrase caused an error message to not display correctly when adding or editing keywords
• In some cases, the Avatar URL format could be used incorrectly
• (vB4) CMS Section URLs would not generate correctly in the Sitemap

As always, thank you for your continued support
