[2.1.1] - 2013-05-27

Fixed

• Custom post types with page-attributes or hierarchical properties, but not both, breaking ordering.

[2.1.0] - 2013-05-19

Added

• Awareness of custom user capabilities for post types, in addition to a filter (simple_page_ordering_edit_rights) for overriding reordering rights (previously used edit_others_pages globally).
• Awareness of custom post statuses (so they are not skipped during backend ordering operation).

Changed

• UI refinements: Better "spinner" positioning (and HiDPI), translucent row when.moving, improved appearance of "drop" placeholder, wait till row dragged by at least 5px to start sorting.
• Major JavaScript refactoring and simplification (combined with new stylesheet) for better performance.

[2.0.0] - 2012-11-12

Added

• Drag pages into any part of the page hierarchy! No longer limited to same branch of tree!
• Big performance improvements under the hood: leaner queries, batched requests, less processing.
• New filters and hooks to extend / override default functionality.

Changed

• Scales much more reliably in situations with very high page counts due to batching of requests.
• Order of the first page is now set to "1" instead of "0", so pages added after ordering are added at the top (instead of second).

• Smarter about "not sortable" view states.
• Localization ready! Rough Spanish translation included.
• Assorted other performance and code improvements.

Fixed

• Unexpected page ordering results when pages have not been explictly ordered yet (sorts by menu_order, then title, not just menu_order).
• "Per page" drop down filter selection not saving between page loads (was broken in 3.1).
• Items are always ordered with positive integers (potential negative sort orders had some performance benefits in last version, but sometimes caused issues).

Fixed

• Broken inline editing (quick edit) fields in Firefox.

[0.9.5] - 2011-03-27

Changed

Changed

• "Move" cursor only set if JavaScript enabled.

Fixed

• Page count display always showing "0" on non-hierarchical post types (Showing 1-X of X).

[0.8.4] - 2010-08-24

• Improved some terminology (with custom post types in mind).
