To try to end the confusion regarding hotfixes, I've decided to adopt adding "Patch Level" (PL) on to the end of my zip files.
Thus, I present vBShout v5.4.3 PL1 (Patch Level 1):

Thus, I present vBShout v5.4.3 PL1 (Patch Level 1):
- The Shoutbox should no longer fail to parse BBCode in shouts on vB4
- Posting / editing / deleting a shout in a chatroom tab will no longer briefly flash back to the main shoutbox tab. My original fix for this caused some additional problems - namely the shoutbox didn't properly refresh when someone posted a shout.
- A new "Automated Message" mode has been added, which ensures that automatically posted shouts (e.g. "has just replied to thread") will skip permission checks and use vBulletin's built-in BBCode parsing list when posting the shouts. This ensures that actions like the Pro-only "Shoutbox PM on forum PM" works correctly for users awaiting email confirmation.
- Permissions issues with editing others' shouts have been resolved. This was a regression issue that got introduced when trying to fix the above problem.
- (Pro) Archive avatars now use the correct settings for their avatars even if the person is using a predefined avatar.
To update, simply re-download the files and re-upload them. The XML file has not been changed in this version.
