Bad Behavior 2.0.12 has been released. It is a maintenance release and is recommended for all users.
Who should upgrade?
All users who use the digg.com social bookmarking service should upgrade to ensure that Bad Behavior-protected pages can be submitted to the service.
Users of Akamai Dynamic Site Accelerator, Dynamic Site Accelerator Enterprise and Web Application Accelerator should upgrade. (I only know of one such user, and I e-mailed you already. If you use these services, and I didn’t e-mail you, please e-mail me.)
What’s new?
New in this release (since 2.0.11):
- IP addresses for the digg.com service have been added to Bad Behavior’s internal whitelist. Upon submitting a story to digg.com, it attempts to load the submitted URL using the PEAR HTTP_Request class, but with a fake HTTP user agent, causing Bad Behavior to block the requests. This problem was reported to digg and the company has failed to respond or to resolve the problem. The IP addresses have been whitelisted due to user demand. If you use digg, please let them know that this is not acceptable to you.
- Users deploying Bad Behavior with Akamai Dynamic Site Accelerator, Dynamic Site Accelerator Enterprise, or Web Application Accelerator found that Internet Explorer users were being blocked by Bad Behavior. This issue was traced to Akamai’s use of the HTTP/1.1 transfer coding feature in its proxy servers. This issue has been fixed.
