Bad Behavior 2.0.13 釋出，這次也是 bug fix release，主要是修正了使用 MediaWiki 出現不明的空白字行問題，和修正了不能接收 trackbacks 和 pingbacks 的問題，亦即表示使用 WordPress 的朋友應該作出更新了。

詳細的 changelog 如下。

• A bit of code relating to MediaWiki has been disabled. This code attempted to measure Bad Behavior’s run time and insert it into wiki pages as an HTML comment while they were being rendered. This code inadvertently inserted blank lines into the output and has been disabled until it can be fixed.
• MediaWiki users receiving fatal errors regarding wfQuery did not install the extension properly and should consult the installation directions and/or the README.txt file.
• A bug in Bad Behavior’s user agent blacklist code caused blacklist matches to become case-insensitive, when they should have been case-sensitive. Among other things, this caused pingbacks and trackbacks sent from WordPress blogs to fail. This has been fixed.

Bad Behavior 2.0.12 釋出，這個版本主要是解決了以下問題。

1. 順利將 Bad Behavior 保護的 WordPress blog 文章 submit 到 Digg
2. 解決了同時 Akamai Dynamic Site Accelerator、Dynamic Site Accelerator Enterprise 或 Web Application Accelerator 的用家被 Bad Behavior 阻攔

詳細 changelog 如下：

• IP addresses for the digg.com service have been added to Bad Behavior’s internal whitelist. Upon submitting a story to digg.com, it attempts to load the submitted URL using the PEAR HTTP_Request class, but with a fake HTTP user agent, causing Bad Behavior to block the requests. This problem was reported to digg and the company has failed to respond or to resolve the problem. The IP addresses have been whitelisted due to user demand. If you use digg, please let them know that this is not acceptable to you.
• Users deploying Bad Behavior with Akamai Dynamic Site Accelerator, Dynamic Site Accelerator Enterprise, or Web Application Accelerator found that Internet Explorer users were being blocked by Bad Behavior. This issue was traced to Akamai’s use of the HTTP/1.1 transfer coding feature in its proxy servers. This issue has been fixed.

• Miscellaneous bug-fixes (UI, WP21 compatibility, compatibility with other plugins etc.)
• A few small changes in the modules (improving blacklisting module, disabling RBL for now).
• Important updates to Wordpress DB schema in order to try and improve its sluggish loading time (not directly an SK2 problem per se, but had to be done for SK2 to run fine).

雖然在 source code 的改動不算太大，但作者仍然建議所有用戶升級，因為除了 bug fixes 還有效能上的提升。

升級只需將檔案覆蓋，然後在 WordPress Dashboard 選 Manage -> Spam Karma 2，好讓 auto update script 進行升級動作。
