RS Fixes for XML-RPC, Admin Menu Links

Friday afternoon, I released Role Scoper 1.0.4 to address the following issues:

  • BugFix : XML-RPC support (ScribeFire, WLW) was broken for non-administrators
  • BugFix : exclude_tree argument was ineffective in get_terms / wp_list_categories call
  • BugFix : Category Restrictions were not inherited upon new category creation
  • BugFix : User groups were unusable on DB servers that do not support default value on text columns
  • BugFix : Page Parent filtering was broken for Quick Edit
  • BugFix : Option “role assignment requires blog-wide editor role” was only requiring blog-wide contributor role
  • BugFix : Option “role assignment requires blog-wide editor role” did not suppress Roles, Restrictions sidebar menu
  • BugFix : In Edit Post form, non-editors could see / select other users as “author”
  • BugFix : invalid Category / Object role edit links displayed in user profile for non-editors in some configurations
  • BugFix : Role Scoper Options inaccessable to administrator with WP 2.8.1
  • Change : Deny implicit comment moderation rights to Authors if they lack moderate_comments cap
  • Change : Moved option “Role administration requires a blog-wide Editor role” to main Options tab

Sadly, in addressing the WP 2.8.1 “explicit permissions” issue for RS Options, I broke all the other Roles and Restrictions menu links for administrators.  This is fixed in Role Scoper 1.0.4.1 My apologies for the inconvenience to those who downloaded 1.0.4.
