What changed in each release of the plugin, newest first. WordPress shows the full developer notes on the plugin’s Changelog tab.
0.24.0Current
- New A setting to choose whether new uploads are optimized automatically. When it is off, they wait until you run Bulk Optimize.
- Change New installs start with it off. Sites that already have an API key keep it on, so nothing changes for them.
0.23.0
- Change Health snapshots are off until you switch them on in Settings. If you were sharing them, tick the box again.
- New Every admin screen can be translated.
- New The plugin’s readme lists every outside service it talks to, what is sent, and links to their terms and privacy policies.
- Fix The release passes the WordPress.org Plugin Check.
0.22.1
- Fix When the ImgCrisp service is busy, an image waits 30 seconds and tries again, without using up one of its three attempts.
0.22.0
- New Transparent PNGs such as logos and cutouts get a compact PNG version of every size, usually about a quarter of the size. Browsers without WebP or AVIF, and search crawlers, get it instead of the full PNG.
- New Existing transparent PNGs get their compact versions in the background after the update.
0.21.1
- New Yoast SEO image sitemaps list the JPEG version of a photographic PNG, so crawlers stop downloading PNGs that are often over 1 MB.
0.21.0
- New An image a theme prints at full size, with no smaller sizes offered, now offers them in every format. Phones stop downloading the largest file.
0.20.1
- Fix An image skipped because its file was missing is picked up once the file arrives. Bulk Optimize can re-check them all at once.
0.20.0
- New Photo-like PNGs get a JPEG copy of every size, served wherever the PNG would have reached a visitor, crawler or social platform. On salifeline.org an upscaled hero went from a 6.9 MB PNG to a 678 KB JPEG.
- New The dashboard reports what browsers are actually sent, across every size and format.
0.19.1
- Fix The live-page check no longer marks a members-only post’s images as missing.
0.19.0
- New Before an upscale, the plugin checks the page’s public version and flags images the page doesn’t actually show, so you don’t pay to upscale an image nobody sees.
0.18.0
- New The upscale confirmation warns when an image would be enlarged more than 3× from its real pixels, and offers to upscale only the images measured as safe.
