Role Scoper 1.3.4 is now available to correct a conflict with the Revisionary plugin which was introduced in the previous RS version:

• Compat : Revisionary - Posts were blocked from front-end display if both Role Scoper and Revisionary enabled

This Role Scoper update only pertains to sites which also use Revisionary.

Role Scoper versions 1.3.3 and 1.2.12 (for WP < 3.0) are available to fix the following plugin conflicts:

• Compat : Smart YouTube (and other plugins that execute a posts query joined to comments table) - database error

• Compat : Revisionary - Pending count and links were not displayed in Dashboard Right Now or Edit Posts listing if revisor capability is by term or object role assignment

• Compat : Revisionary - Non-Administrators receive Not Found error for revision preview

If you do not run Revisionary or Smart YouTube, there is no need to upgrade RS from the previous version.

The following updated release candidate versions are now available for manual installation:

Revisionary 1.1.RC2 - a required update for those running 1.1.RC

Role Scoper 1.3.RC2- a required update for those running Revisionary + RS 1.3.RC.  Other users, check the change log below to determine whether the bug fixes affect you.

Role Scoper 1.2.9.RC2 - parallel version for sites running a WordPress version older than 3.0.

New Role Scoper and Revisionary Release Candidates are available via http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

To install these pre-release versions, click on the "other versions" link on either plugin directory page.

An updated version of Role Scoping for NextGEN Gallery is also available.

I'll further document the extensive improvements and bug fixes within the next few days.  Much of it is related to custom post types and taxonomies.  For now, see the change log in the readme.txt contained in any download.

Role Scoper versions 1.2.9.RC and 1.3.RC differ mainly in that 1.3 requires WordPress 3.0+.  It also has some additional code refactoring to reduce memory usage.

An updated version of the Revisionary plugin for WordPress is now available.  It includes a handful of bug fixes, features and plugin compatibility fixes.  Check the change log to determine whether any of the changes affect you:

• BugFix : Submitting a Pending Revision to a published Post failed with Fatal Error

• BugFix : PHP short tag caused Parse Error on servers which were not configured to support it

• Compat : Support TinyMCE Advanced and WP Super Edit for custom editor buttons on Revision Management form

• Feature : Revision preview bar can be styled via CSS file

• Lang : Fixed several string formatting issues for better translation support

• Change : Use https link for Revisionary css and js files if ssl is being used / forced for the current uri

I'm pleased to announce the first stable release of the Revisionary plugin for WordPress.

Revisionary enables moderated editing of currently published posts and pages.  It also allows you to schedule changes to existing content.  For a full description and screen captures, take a look at the Revisionary Overview.

Changes since the Release Candidate are as follows:

• Feature : Use Blog Title and Admin Email as from address in revision notices, instead of "WordPress <wordpress@>"

• BugFix : Revision Approval / Publication Notices used ?p=ID link, now uses standard permalink

• Compat : Display workaround instructions for FolioPress conflict with visual revision display

Have you ever wanted to allow certain users to submit changes to published content, with an editor reviewing those changes before publication?

Doesn't it seem like setting a published post/page to a future date should schedule your changes to be published on that date, instead of unpublishing it until that date?

The Revisionary plugin fills the missing quadrant in the WordPress content management matrix:

With Revisionary in place, the meaning of the "edit_others" capability shifts to grant revision submission rights if the owner lacks the corresponding "edit_published" / "edit_private" capability.
