Over the course of working with Will, it was decided that the ability to show certain data only to certain viewers, based on permission settings, was more general than just profiles.  All permission logic and UI had previously lived in the diso-profile plugin.  Other plugins, however, such as actionstream, supported using the functionality if it was there.  It was reasoned that someone might want to use permissions on their actionstream (or anywhere else! just wrap the output up in an if statement and call diso_user_is(‘relationship’) ) without having the profile plugin installed.  Will nicely extracted the functionality into a separate plugin which I have now packaged for download at the DiSo code site.

Just a note that my XRDS-Simple plugin has undergone some major refactoring as part of the DiSo project. It now lives at WordPress Extend.

Hot on the heels of the Actionstream 0.50 release comes the 0.50 release of DiSo Profile! It can be downloaded from the usual place.

Note: The permissions logic has been spun out into the new permissions plugin.  Make sure your install and activate that plugin first if you have any private data, or it will be displayed to the public.

• Better YouTube support
• Support for many new services: userscripts.org, brightkite, getsatisfaction, backtype, github, and twitter favourites

• Template tag for services list
• Nicer RSS feed URLs
• Some major refactoring
• Integration with new permissions plugin
• Intelligence in service display when wp-diso-profile is installed

I have released an update to my Picoformats plugin. This update changes the logic so that posts are not modified in the database (thanks, @aditya!), but on the fly. It will also link to the local profile/archive of a user (thanks, @als!) that has no URL set in their profile. Also, if you use an @ reply from inside a comment and use the (one-word) name of a comment poster, it will recognize this (if they have whitespace in their name, just take it out when writing the @ reply). @ replies in comments also do not check Twitter usernames anymore, since this is expensive and breaks common use.
