It’s that time of the year. It doesn’t necessarily beat christmas, but it’s still cool to have updates. Yep, rah_autogrowing_textarea v0.4 is out, living the dream I once had. Changelog:

Added: now prompts users if required fields are left empty when creating new rules.
Interface improvements: removed unnecessary table-layouts, moved all CSS lines to <head>.
Changed: plugin type to the newer Admin only.
Changed: tries to run the installer only if there are no preferences available.
Changed: now uses different method for building list of available events.
Changed: shows events/panels label instead of name in the listings.
Changed: preferences pane shows multiedit controls only when something is selected. As seen in rah_post_versions.
Removed default values from the installer SQL.

Version 0.5 has been released, bringing TextPack support and small interface changes. Changelog:

Added: now includes uninstaller that uses plugin-lifecycle callbacks, drops the plugin’s tables from the database when deleting the plugin.
Added: informs the user if updating database records failed.
Added: language string support. Now the interface can be translated to different languages using TextPacks.
Added: “Options” link to the Plugins pane.
Added: rah_ui class selectors to the elements, <tbody> and <thead> containers to the list table.
Changed: Improved JavaScript based multi-edit script.
Changed: During first install, set the database table’s default charset to UTF-8.
Changed: Only accept POSTs when saving changes. Requests send as GET are ignored.
Changed: shortened the admin-side step names, and renamed step form to edit.
Removed: replaced rah_autogrowing_textarea_check() function with new method of checking if the plugin is up-to-date. Now uses simple version number to confirm the status.
Removed: Some markup, left-over inline styles and pane heading.
Now requires Textpattern version 4.2.0 or newer for full feature support.

Released version 0.6. Changes:

Added: CSRF (session riding) protection using Textpattern’s new core functions introduced in v4.4.1.
Fixed: only adds default definition rows to the database when plugin hasn’t been installed before, or when the old installed version was v0.4 or older.
Changed: set temporary version number after installer has been run. Prevents possibility of running the installer twice.
Now requires Textpattern version 4.4.1 or newer.

An ideal companion for those using rah_expanding on Write tab: hit Ctrl+S and get the article (ajaxly-, if running Txp 4.5.0 or newer) saved.

Rah_expanding v1.1 is out. This release tries to address certain Chrome related issues relating to strange text-wrapping when the page initially loads. List of changes:

Fixed: Text flowing workaround for Chrome. Tries to improve the text wrapping of the initial textarea contents.
Changed: Replaced jQuery.bind method with jQuery.on.
Now requires Textpattern v4.5.0 or newer.

Due to JavaScript changes from v1.1 onwards the plugin will require Textpattern v4.5.0 or newer.

It indeed is an ideal companion. Saves from having to scroll million miles away.

Is this plugin compatible with the latest version of TxP? I need a way to make the excerpt text area bigger.
