“wpLicense”:http://yergler.net/projects/wplicense “0.5″:http://yergler.net/projects/wplicense/download-wplicense is out. The relatively large increase in version number (up 3/10ths as opposed to my usual 1/10th of a version) reflects the large number of changes as well as the amount of testing that went into this version.
In the bug-fix category:
* Unbeknownst to me, my web host uses PHP 5 by default, so I happily used PHP 5-specific features such as SimpleXML without knowing it. Unfortunately, lots of people still use PHP 4, so some refactoring was in order. This release supports PHP 4 (> 4.3 for sure, possibly older although I won’t guarantee it).
* I had also used libcurl in the previous version, which while it existed in PHP 4 wasn’t always turned on. We’re using a little more braindead way of calling the webservice now that should work with non-libcurl-enabled installations of PHP.
* Finally, we fixed a rather annoying bug that caused Attribution licenses to be issues as 2.0, even though 2.5 is the current version. Feh.
This release also adds a new configuration option: “Include license badge in default footer”. 
If you use the default WordPress theme (or probably 90% of the other themes out there that call wpfooter(); ), checking this saves you the hassle of manually editting your template. The “template functions”:http://yergler.net/projects/wplicense/wplicense-function-reference/ are still available for manipulating and displaying the license information in other ways, this just seemed like a logical addition to make life easier.
All this combined with some (but not lots, mind you) UI-lovin’ means that anyone using an old version (yes, both of you) should go ahead and upgrade.
