== Description ==
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tB3rKkwAJY
Media cloud is a revolutionary plug-in for WordPress that will supercharge the performance of your website and radically transform the way that you work with media in WordPress.
Media Cloud works by moving your images, media and other files from your WordPress server to online cloud storage such as Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, DigitalOcean Spaces, DreamHost Object Storage and many others. You can then serve that media through a CDN like Amazon Cloud front, Cloudflare, Fastly and others.
Beyond cloud storage, Media Cloud also has deep integration with Imgix, the leading real-time image manipulation and optimization CDN. Media Cloud is the first plugin for WordPress to bring the full benefit of what Imgix offers - simplifying your development efforts, reducing your site’s page load times and opening up creative options that simply haven’t existed until now.
Media Cloud also provides advanced image editing tools that provide improved cropping options, effects, filters, watermarking and more.
**NOTE**: This plugin requires PHP 7.1 or higher

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= How does this compare to WP Offload Media? =
WP Offload Media provides a very small subset of everything Media Cloud provides.
This plugin is an essential part of our own development stack when creating WordPress solutions for our clients and as client needs grow around media, and dealing with media in WordPress, Media Cloud gains new features and improvements.
= Why should I use Imgix? =
One of the headaches of managing a WordPress site is dealing with server disk space. If you just use the S3 functionality of this plugin, you are already one step ahead. Using S3, all of your media is centrally located in one place that you can then distribute through a high performing content delivery network to improve page load speeds for your site. You also don't have to worry about disk space on your servers anymore.
Imgix is a content delivery network with a twist. In addition to distributing your media, it also allows you to edit them, in real-time. and deliver the edited version through their CDN without altering the original. Want to add a new image size to your theme? You can do this with Imgix without having to use a plugin to recut all of your existing media to this new size. Imgix optimizes format delivery and a bunch of other things. It's seriously the greatest thing to happen to WordPress and web development in the history of ever.

== Changelog ==
= 4.6.4 - 04/09/2024 =
* IMPORTANT UPDATE. Due to an issue with our build process Gutenberg blocks were excluded
* Updated Freemius SDK
* Fixed issue with weird dialogs displaying in admin (missing CSS files due to new build process)
= 4.6.3 - 04/03/2024 =
* Added `Ignore Errors` option to migrate task to continue processing even if errors occurred during import.
* Added `--ignore-errors` switch to `wp mediacloud:storage migrate` command (see above)
= 4.6.2 - 03/22/2024 =
* Fix for Bunny CDN region list
= 4.6.1 - 03/22/2024 =
* Added beta support for Bunny CDN as a storage provider.
* Note that Bunny CDN doesn't support ACLs so it can't do signed URLs like other cloud storage providers, so it is not suitable for WooCommerce, EDD or anything else where you want to protect individual files.
* You can protect directories though and any files in a specified directory will be signed. This is probably a moving target feature wise.
* Also note that this works differently then Bunny's WordPress plugin. Bunny's plugin works via pull where Media Cloud is push (it uploads your media to Bunny CDN). Which way is better is up to you to decide, though you can't use Bunny's plugin in a dev environment or on a localhost during dev.
* Added documentation for Bunny CDN
* Fixed Migrate to Mux task.
* Migrating media now migrates .webp and .avif files regardless of what plugin generated them.
* Fixes for some PHP 8.2 errors and notices.
= 4.5.27 - 03/13/2024 =
* Fix for assets tool where bucket name appears in URL.
* PUSH Asset mode deprecated. PUSH mode was meant for edge cases and PULL mode is superior in every way. Will display warning
if you have it enabled in PUSH mode.

* Fix Clean Uploads task to deal with crusty databases that have URLs in the _wp_attached_file meta field.
* Added `media-cloud/storage/verify/settings` filter to enable skipping cloud storage settings verification. Only use this
if you are using a strict IAM policy that prevents Media Cloud from verifying your settings.
* System compatibility test now takes upload prefix into account when testing cloud storage
* Deprecate Wasabi. Wasabi is not a suitable cloud storage provider for Media Cloud's purpose. If you are using Wasabi currently,
nothing will change. If you are not using Wasabi, you will not be able to add it as a cloud storage provider.
= 4.5.23 - 09/07/2023 =
* Massive performance improvement for multisite.
* Some fixes for PHP 8.2. Still don't recommend using 8.2 with WordPress. 8.1 and 8.0 work fine though.

= 4.5.19 - 12/9/2022 =
* Added `--skip-processed` flag to `mediacloud:storage makewebp` command to skip any attachments that already have webp
metadata associated with them. (Premium)
* Added a setting to *Cloud Storage* settings called *Force WebP* that forces Media Cloud to return .webp urls for images
that have webp metadata associated with them. Note this does not do any sort of content negotiation or browser
sniffing, it simply returns the webp url for the image. Consider that only IE 11 and much older versions of Safari
do not support webp.
= 4.5.17 - 12/8/2022 =
* Added `wp mediacloud:storage syncAllLocal` command to download all cloud storage files to your local server.
* Added integration for WPForms to automatically upload files to the cloud. (Premium)
* Added task to migrate existing WPForms entries to cloud storage. (Premium)
* Added new **Generate EWW WebP** task to generate webp files from images on cloud storage. EWWW Image Optimization
plugin must be installed and activated and working in local mode (NOT cloud mode). (Premium)

* Updated Freemius to latest version.
= 4.5.16 - 12/4/2022 =

* Fix for edge case when migrating Offload Media and Leopard Offload links.
= 4.5.14 - 11/30/2022 =
* Media Cloud will now import setting from Leopard Offload if you are upgrading. This only works for S3 and S3
compatible cloud storage. If you are using Google, you will have to set that up manually.
* When upgrading from Leopard Offload, your links will be migrated as needed, but you can manually run a background
task to do them all in one go.
* If using Leopard Offload with WooCommerce, after migrating to Media Cloud you must run the command line
tool `wp mediacloud:integrations fixLeopardWooLinks` to replace the weird link shortcode that Leopard Offload uses.
This tool is only in the premium version. (Premium)
= 4.5.12 - 11/25/2022 =
* Workaround for a bug in Fluent Forms when Fluent Support is integrated with Fluent Forms, for example when you are
creating tickets in Fluent Support via a Fluent Form. (Premium)
* Give a different error message if PHP_MAJOR_VERSION is not defined.
* Updated to latest Freemius version.
= 4.5.11 - 11/09/2022 =
* Fix for StorageImageEditor class that should improve compatibility with other plugins using the image editor but
storing the results in non-standard places. Should fix problems with a variety of form and social plugins (Gravity,
Peepso, others).
= 4.5.10 - 11/09/2022 =
* Fix for broken Crop, Edit Image and Replace Image buttons in the media library.
* Fix for issue with image URLs
= 4.5.9 - 11/08/2022 =
* Fixed a bug with the AWS SDK with DigitalOcean that resulted in urls missing the scheme (eg the https:// part). This
bug seems to be with the AWS SDK MultiRegionClient and not with Media Cloud.

= 4.5.7 - 11/07/2022 =
* Fixed internal help links

= 4.5.5 - 10/31/2022 =
* Admin notices are now only shown to users with the `manage_options` capability.
* (Premium) Direct Uploads for Cloudflare R2 has been implemented. **IMPORTANT**: You must set up CORS on your bucket
and that process is mildly convoluted. Please see this video tutorial for more information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_4Q0WQVNUI
= 4.5.4 - 10/29/2022 =
* Fix for assets tool in push mode
* Added option for assets tool in pull mode to process rendered page to force assets to be pulled from CDN for scripts
and styles that are included on the page in non-standard ways
* New assets tool tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYHHjO27tng

= 4.5.2 - 10/15/2022 =
* Fix for compatability issue with Presto Player
= 4.5.1 - 10/11/2022 =
* Integration for WP All Import Pro. When enabled, during an import, Media Cloud will not process any images imported
during the process. This is to prevent the import from timing out. After the import is complete, a Migrate to Cloud
Storage task is run to move the imported media to the cloud.
* Image Optimization will not work with the WP All Import Pro integration. It's recommended that you use the EWWW plugin
for image optimization if that's something you need.
= 4.5.0 - 10/7/2022 =
* Support for Cloudflare Storage R2.
* Cloudflare R2 does not support direct uploads though we will be working on it in the future.
* R2 also does not support signed URLs, but that is a limitation of R2 and not Media Cloud's integration with it.
= 4.4.4 - 10/7/2022 =
* The video player front-end javascript files are now only included on pages that use the player. If you run into
issues with this, you can set a toggle in the settings to always include the scripts. Note that for Elementor users,
the player scripts are always included because there isn't a reliable mechanism to tell if a player is being used on
a page before it's too late to enqueue the scripts. You can blame Elementor for this.
* The elementor video player widget was removed from the previous version on accident, it has been included again.
* Fix for asset tool
* Fix for `block_categories` deprecation warning (thanks @joshuafredrickson)
= 4.4.3 - 10/5/2022 =

* Fixed downloading video with video player
* Fix for getting rendition URL for mux encoded videos
* Updated video.js library to 7.20.3
* Updated related video.js plugins to latest versions
* Fix mux transfer task to work with large files and give better feedback. Note: Mux transfers wait until the mp4
renditions are encoded by mux before transferring. This can take a while for large files.
* Remove preflight admin notice
* Added support for Supabase Storage. This support is only provided for specific development scenarios, you should not
use Supabase Storage for general purpose storage because you think it's inexpensive. Supabase Storage support is for
when you need to *integrate* with an application already using Supabase.
* Added a new `Transfer Mux Video` task that allows you to transfer encoded videos from Mux to cloud or local storage to serve the videos from other services and CDNs instead of Mux. Use Mux to encode, serve the result elsewhere.
* Added a `Regenerate Filmstrip` task to generate new filmstrips for Mux encoded videos that might not have had them generated.
* The Gutenberg block now supports outputting the video's dimension to insure that there isn't any reflow on document load.
* Fixed INFO log messages with regards to PHP 8.1.
* Transferred Mux videos display HLS logo instead of the Mux logo in the media library.
* In the list view in the Media Library, the Mux or HLS logo is now displayed.
* The `Relink Mux Video` task will relink any videos that were transferred with the `Transfer Mux Video` task unless they've been deleted on Mux.
* You can setup Media Cloud to automatically transfer Mux encoded videos to local or cloud storage after they've finished being encoded by Mux.
* Added `wp mediacloud:video transfer` command to transfer videos from Mux to cloud or local storage.
* Added `wp mediacloud:video relink` command to relink videos that were transferred from Mux to local or cloud storage.
* Added toggle to `Video Player` settings to replace the WordPress admin default video player with the native video player using HLS.js. This allows you to preview Mux encoded videos in the admin without having to create a post.
* Added toggle to override the default WordPress video shortcode and replace it with the Media Cloud Video Player. You should, however, consider switching to the Media Cloud Video Player shortcode instead because it performs better.
* The Elementor Media Cloud Video Player widget now supports playing non-Mux videos.
* Added `hls` object to WP REST Attachment object that includes the playlist url, poster image url, filmstrip url, width, height, duration, mp4 fallback rendition url and subtitles.
* Added the ability to add captions (via a VTT text file) to any video, regardless if it's Mux encoded or not. This feature is available on the edit detail screen for a video attachment. You must be using the Media Cloud Video Player feature.
* Removed `yuloh/bccomp-polyfill` dependency.
= 4.4.0 - 4/7/2022 =
* **IMPORTANT**: This release has a breaking change if you are using the **Mux/Video Encoding** feature. If you are using the video.js or hls.js video player, you will need to enable the separate *Video Player* feature to continue using those players. There will be a notification in WordPress admin warning you about this, but only if it applies to you.
* Upgraded video.js player to latest 7.19.0
* Upgraded hls.js player to latest 1.1.5
* Separated the video player into it's own feature from the video encoding feature.

* Filmstrip generation can now be enabled regardless of video player in use.
= 4.3.11 - 3/8/2022 =

= 4.3.9 - 3/4/2022 =
* Fixed Imagify API integration.
= 4.3.8 - 3/2/2022 =
* Update to latest AWS SDK. Fixes critical issue where deleting items from cloud storage would fail due to a bug in the SDK. If you are using S3 or S3 compatible storage, you need to upgrade to this.
* Fixed a misspelling in the wizard
= 4.3.7 - 3/1/2022 =
* Various fixes for **BuddyBoss** and **BuddyPress**
* **Migrate to Cloud** task will now copy BuddyBoss media that isn't related to profile images or cover photos, meaning any media uploaded to timelines, groups, forums, etc. Use the Migrate BuddyPress task for cover photos and profile images.
* Fixed a caching issue for BuddyBoss/BuddyPress where changing cover images where would not update the cover photo.
* Full support for BuddyBoss's video and document uploads.
* **Note** if you want to delete uploads from your local server, you will need to turn on both **Delete Uploads** in **Cloud Storage Settings** and **Delete Uploads** in the BuddyPress integration settings.
* Fixed a bug preventing the background delete task for BuddyPress from working.
= 4.3.6 - 3/1/2022 =

= 4.3.4 - 2/28/2022 =
* **NOW REQUIRES PHP 7.4** Installing on PHP < 7.4 will not work and result in errors.
* Fixed an issue that would prevent certain tasks from running
* Sign up to be notified about our new product for WordPress coming in April 2022: [Preflight for WordPress](https://preflight.ju.mp)
* Fixed compatibility with BuddyPress 6.x
* Fixed compatibility with BuddyBoss 1.8.x including video. **Note:** Mux encoding does not work with BuddyBoss and it's impossible to make it work. You can have it enabled and Mux will encode videos but the videos that are played on the front end will be the uploaded MP4 source. It's best to turn Mux off if you are using it with BuddyBoss.
* Added new Wasabi and S3 regions.
* All third party libraries have been updated to the latest versions.
* Fixed MUX gutenberg block registration
* Filmstrip generation with Mux now warns you if GD is not installed
* Media Cloud now makes **EWWW Image Optimizer** run during the upload process which fixes a lot of issues with other plugins like Elementor. You can disable this in **Cloud Storage Settings** if your uploads have become unbearably slow.
* Fixed compatibility with **EWWW Image Optimizer** bulk optimizer.
* Generated `.webp` file names are stored in S3 metadata.
* `.webp` files are deleted from cloud storage when deleting an upload.
* When queueing deletes, you can now specify the delay in minutes before items in the queue get processed.
* Built-in image optimizer now properly queues deletes if that setting is enabled.
* For the free version, if you are using Elementor with an image optimizer that isn't **EWWW Image Optimizer**, you are going to have problems and that configuration isn't supported. You should consider a switch to EWWW or upgrading to the premium version.
* For the premium version, if you are using Elementor with an image optimizer that isn't **EWWW Image Optimizer**, make sure to turn on **Queue Deletes** in **Cloud Storage Settings** and **Auto Update Elementor** in **Integration Settings**.
* Fix for images specified in the customizer when using the Astra theme.
* PDF thumbnails generated with the ImageMagick extension are now uploaded to cloud storage properly.
* Fixed an error with PDF uploads and ImageMagick that would prevent the PDF from being uploaded to cloud storage in certain circumstances.
* Fixed the Render PDF functionality of imgix to now properly render PDFs.
* Large PDF uploads would cause a fatal memory error on some systems. Now, you can now upload PDFs of any size without issues (subject to WordPress and web server limitations).
* PDF upload speed should be greatly improved. If you don't care about generating PDF preview images, you can improve it even more by turning off **Extract PDF Page Size** in the **Image and PDF Upload Handling** section of **Cloud Storage Settings**.
* Added a new setting **Background Only When Using the Media Library** that, when enabled, limits image optimizations to only run in the background when using the WordPress Media Library pages in the admin, otherwise the image optimizations will run during the upload. Enabling this could improve compatibility with some plugins.
* Image Optimizations that fail would prevent the upload from being transferred to cloud storage. That has been fixed.
* Updated the Imagify Image Optimization driver.
* Background optimizations now start a lot a sooner.
* Added **Update URLs** task to search and replace URLs in the WordPress database.
* Added a switch to the **Migrate to Cloud** task that will do a search and replace for migrated URLs during the migration process.

* Added new options to Rebuild Thumbnails task. You can now specify which media items get rebuilt; either all of them, only those that are missing sizes or those that are missing specific sizes.
* You can now specify which image sizes get regenerated. You can specify either all of the image sizes, only the ones missing or a single specific size.
* In **WordPress Admin -> Media Cloud -> Settings** in the **Batch Processing** tab, you can now defer execution of any tasks that you trigger from the bulk action drop-down in the Media Library list view. This is useful if you need to process a variety of items spread out across multiple pages but don't want to queue a bunch of single tasks to do so.
* The **Fix Cloud Metadata** task will now allow you to specify only to work on items that are missing cloud metadata.
* You can now select which images to process with the **Sync Local** task.
* A new batch action for the **Sync Local** task has added to the Media Library's list view. It's called **Download to Local Server**
* The Media Cloud task heartbeat will now only be sent one time per user per browser regardless of the number of open tabs or windows. Previously, if an administrator had 15 tabs open in the same browser, it would send 15 heartbeats. Now only 1 tab will send a heartbeat and when that tab is closed, another open tab will take over sending the heartbeat. Note that heartbeats are only sent by administrator level users or users with the `mcloud_heartbeat` permission.
* Fixed a javascript error with the real time debug log viewer.
* Rebuild thumbnails will now correctly rebuild thumbnails when Imgix is enabled.
* Minor UI tweaks.
= 4.2.35 - 6/17/2021 =
* Fixed Replace Image functionality which would fail to work on certain versions of MySQL due to an SQL query being used being not compatible.
* Added a drop down to control how tags are managed when replacing an image. Controls if they should be merged, replaced or do nothing. Default is Replace.
* Replacing an image now replaces the title of the attachment.
* Removed option to delete media after migration because too many people were shooting themselves in the foot. After a successful migration, it's important you check to make sure your media has been migrated successfully and then run a Clean Uploads task after to remove files from your server.
* Removed `--delete-migrated` from `wp mediacloud:storage migrateToCloud` command.
* Fixed a warning for `Logger.php`
= 4.2.34 - 6/17/2021 =
* Added a toggle to make the **Debug Log** display log entries in realtime.
* Added a toggle to **Batch Processing** settings that allows you to disable your theme and any plugins when processing items in the background. Turning this on will not effect your front-end or WordPress admin, it's only applied when Media Cloud is processing a task in the background. If you are having issues running the migration or import task, try enabling this option.
= 4.2.33 - 6/15/2021 =
* Fix for video and audio short codes using Classic Editor when using a storage provider with a path style endpoint and pre-signed URLs.
* New warning that you are using a path style endpoint with DigitalOcean when you don't need to. The only time you'd need to do that is if your bucket contains a period, for example your bucket's name is `my.bucket.is.cool`.
* Fix for php NOTICE warnings for imgix images with malformed metadata.
= 4.2.32 - 6/13/2021 =

= 4.2.30 - 6/7/2021 =
* Complete overhaul of BuddyPress and BuddyBoss integration. (Premium)
* Added a new *Migrate BuddyPress Uploads* task which will migrate existing avatar and cover images to cloud storage. Previously, Media Cloud would migrate these as they were requested on the front end. (Premium)
* Added a new WP-ClI command, `wp mediacloud:buddypress migrate` that wraps the *Migrate BuddyPress Uploads* task. (Premium)
* Renamed Computer Vision WP-CLI command from `wp vision` to `wp mediacloud:vision`.
* Renamed the task manager WP-CLI command from `wp taskmanager` to `wp mediacloud:tasks`.
* Fixed bug for when you have privacy for uploads set to private, but don't have signing enabled, the error message wasn't dismissible.
* Added new setting *Enable Real Time Processing* to BuddyPress integration that controls the real-time uploading of avatar and cover images. When disabled, you must run the *Migrate BuddyPress Uploads* task manually to upload these things to cloud storage. (Premium)
* Fixed compatibility with rtMedia for BuddyPress. (Premium)
* Fixed the `mediacloud:storage replace` command to search all wordpress tables, including custom ones. (Premium)
* **Note:** if you are using rtMedia with BuddyPress, you will need to run the CLI command `mediacloud:storage replace` after running the *Migrate to Cloud* task. You will only need to do this once. (Premium)
= 4.2.29 - 5/25/2021 =
* Fix for `x-amz-bucket-region` notices

= 4.2.23 - 5/5/2021 =
* More fixes for srcset generation.
* Ability to turn off `ixlib` and `wpsize` query parameters for imgix image URLs. To disable these query parameters, toggle *Remove Extra Query Variables* off in Imgix settings.
* You can now specify the default cropping mode and crop origin for imgix images in the *Imgix Settings*. This crop mode and origin will be overridden for manually cropped images or images that have had their crop mode set in the *Image Editor*.
= 4.2.22 - 5/3/2021 =
* Fix for srcset generation with Imgix.
* *System Check* has been renamed *System Test*
* Added a plugin/theme check to the *System Test* that pinpoints any *potential* (emphasis on potential) issues with activated plugins or your current theme.
* Added a new *Compatibility Manager* tool that allows you to disable hooks in other plugins or themes that might be causing issues with Media Cloud. You must enable this tool in Cloud Storage Settings in the Advanced Settings panel. Once activated, this tool will show you all the hooks that are activated on your WordPress install that might interfere with Media Cloud. **Note that just because a plugin or theme shows up in the list, this does not mean it's incompatible. You should only use this tool if directed by Media Cloud support**.
* Cleaned up the *Debug Log* UI
* The *System Test* now allows you to run a single specific test instead of having to run all tests every time.
= 4.2.20 - 4/17/2021 =
* Added SFO3 region to DigitalOcean setup wizard
* Added a new top level menu item to WordPress admin called *Cloud Tools* that contains all of Media Cloud's tools and tasks. The main Media Cloud menu was getting way too large. This only affects non-multisite WordPress sites.
* You can turn off the *Cloud Tools* menu, reverting to previous behavior, in *Cloud Storage Settings* in the *Display Settings* section.
= 4.2.18 - 4/15/2021 =
* New feature allows you to upload a new image file to replace an existing one. (Premium Only)
* Added buttons to various media screens to regenerate thumbnails for the media being viewed. (Premium only)
* Added a metadata panel to the attachment edit page that allows you to view and edit the cloud storage metadata for images, as well as attempt to automatically fix any issues.
* Additionally, the metadata panel will "audit" the attachment and show you any potential issues (missing local file, etc).
* Added a **Fix Metadata** task that will attempt to fix any cloud storage metadata issues with items in your media library.
* Added `media-cloud/storage/prefix` filter for adding your own custom tokens to the upload path. See an example here: https://gist.github.com/jawngee/f01c74f781b4e8cd4a6d40983e626b99
* Added a regex filter to debug logging to skip logging any unwanted messages.

* Fix for audio and video shortcodes for signed video URLs.
* Fix for error when pushing js/css assets to cloud storage.
= 4.2.8 - 3/16/2021 =
* **Critical Fix** - Fixes missing class file for the free version that was accidentally excluded by our build system.
If you updated to 4.2.7, you must update to 4.2.8, otherwise uploads will fail. If you are using the premium version,
this does not affect you.
= 4.2.7 - 3/15/2021 =
* You can specify different privacy levels to different image sizes defined in your theme using the Image Size Manager.
This is useful if you are selling stock photos and want to make high-res variations private until sale.
* Added a new setting for Imgix, **Serve Private Images**. When enabled, private images, or image sizes that have had
their privacy level set to private, will be rendered through imgix. When disabled, any private images or private
image sizes will be served from cloud storage using signed URLs, if that's enabled.
* If you change the privacy for an image size, make sure to run the **Update Image Privacy** task that can be found in
the **Task Manager**.
* Fix for direct uploads when the upload doesn't have a mime type, for example .R3D files. You may need to add
these mime types to WordPress to allow uploads though.
* Fix for direct uploads with DigitalOcean
* Added `media-cloud/storage/sign-url` filter to disable pre-signing image URLs in the WordPress admin. This is very edge
case, so you should only use this if support directs you to, or you know what you are doing.
= 4.2.6 - 2/15/2021 =
* Fixes for direct uploads for huge image files
* Fix for hyperdb not storing null values
* Fix for support links

* Fix for bug introduced 4.2.2
* Fix for PHP 7.4 type errors
* Fix for incorrect imgix URL generation
* Massive overhaul of Elementor integration. Media Cloud now will support any Elementor addon and running the
**Elementor Update Task** is super safe. Instead of the brute force text search/replace we were doing before, we are
now analyzing every installed Elementor widget's properties for images to update and then walking your Elementor post
or page's structure to update accordingly.
* Rewrote the Storage Browser from the ground up. Much much much faster and can now handle buckets of any size and
file count.
* **Update Elementor** task now generates a report on what was replaced/updated on your Elementor pages/posts.
* Support for custom sizes in images in Elementor.
* New integration for Google Web Stories. If you use Google Web Stories, you may need to run the "Update Web Stories"
task to make sure all of your URLs are correct. You should only have to run this task once, though you will need to
run it again anytime you change Media Cloud's config in such a way that it changes the URLs to your images.
* Fix for "dynamically" resized images using Imgix that ignored the image's default parameters set in the image editor.
* Fix for URL replacement where two or more of the same images at different sizes were being replaced by a single size
when using the classic editor.
* When adding media to a post that links to the original media, we are now replacing those URLs as well. You can turn
this off in **Cloud Storage Settings** in the **URL Replacement** category.
* Disable optimizers during migrate task to prevent certain images from being skipped.
* Fix for built-in ShortPixel optimization
* Fixed Unlink From Cloud task not scrubbing all S3 metadata
* Fix for imgix urls being double urlencoded
* Fix for image sizes in gallery blocks in Gutenberg
* PHP 8 compatibility fixes
* Fix for direct uploads going to unicode directory names
* CLI commands have been "namespaced" and some names have changed. For example, what used to be
`wp mediacloud migrateToCloud` is now `wp mediacloud:storage migrate`.
* The Update Elementor command line is now `wp mediacloud:elementor update`
* Verify Library task can now be accessed from the menu
* Verify Library task has a new option, **Include Local** that will verify everything in your Media Library, including
items that are not on cloud storage. This is a good first step prior to migrating your library for the first time to
see if you are missing any local files which may cause your migration to fail.
* Added new setting toggle **Replace URLs** in **Cloud Storage Settings** that allows you to turn off Media Cloud's
realtime URL replacement. If you've been using Media Cloud since day zero of your WordPress site (you haven't
migrated an existing site) and haven't changed any settings which would change the URL for your cloud storage since
then (for example adding a CDN or enabling imgix), you may be able to turn this setting off. Note that the URL
replacement overhead is very minimal to begin with so the potential performance gain won't be noticeable in most cases.
* When Debugging is enabled, Media Cloud will now log to Query Monitor's log if you have that plugin installed
and activated.
* Added **Reset Task Data** to the Task Manager to clear out all task data from the database, aka the nuclear option.
* Added Report Viewer to view the reports that the various tasks that Media Cloud runs produces.
* Added new CLI command `wp mediacloud:storage replace` which will search and replace URLs in your database. When used
in conjunction with the new **Replace URLs** toggle in **Cloud Storage Settings** you can minimize all of the work
that Media Cloud is doing on the front end to make sure that URLs are correct. ***There are a lot of caveats to using
this command***. Please read this article for more information:
https://support.mediacloud.press/articles/advanced-usage/command-line/replace-urls
* Compatibility fixes with HyperDB and LudicrousDB
* Fix for settings sometimes not being saved when using Redis object caching
* The Media Cloud heartbeat now only runs for administrators or users who have the `mcloud_heartbeat` capability
= 4.1.14 - 12/3/2020 =
* Added missing instructions that caused errors on multisite installs.
* Added `privacy` ACL to cloud storage uploads. Since the first days of Media Cloud, we've been using the `authenticated-read`
ACL for private cloud storage uploads. There was a historical reason for that and functionally there is no difference
between `authenticated-read` and `private` ACLs for nearly all cloud storage providers. If you are using Scaleway and have
private uploads enabled, make sure you change the privacy settings from Authenticated Read to Private. For other
cloud storage providers you do not need to do this, but we suggest you do. You will also need to change the privacy on
any existing private uploads by going to the Media Library, switching to list view, filtering on `Authenticated Read`
and then doing a bulk action `Change Privacy to Private`.
* Added the ability to specify a custom region. Mostly useful for S3 compatible cloud storage providers, but also useful
when Amazon released a new region and their is a lag time for us updating our list.
* Fixed changing ACL on the attachment edit screen to update the ACL for any generated image sizes.
* Fix for direct uploading non-image files when using the "Add New" page in WordPress admin.
* Added a new debugging mode that will generate a CSV log file of URL replacements on a given page. Enable it by going to
**Media Cloud -> Debug Settings** and toggle on **Debug Content Filtering**. Visit a page that you are having issues
with and a log file will be generated in your `WP-CONTENT/mcloud-reports` directory. DO NOT LEAVE THIS RUNNING. Turn
it on, load your page, turn it off. Note that this CSV file only logs URL replacements that happen in the content of
a post, it will not log URL replacements that happen elsewhere in your page that are the result of calling functions
like `wp_get_image_src()` in your templates.
* Fixed URL replacements for video and audio shortcodes (videos inserted with classic editor or via the [video] shortcode).
* Last day to use BLACKFRIDAY2020 for 33% off annual licenses, ends December 3rd!
= 4.1.9 - 11/30/2020 =
* Fix for when using the ShortPixel plugin and have Media Cloud configured **NOT** to upload PDFs to cloud storage.
* Fix for unlinking non-image files.
* Unlink task now generates a report which you can find in your `WP_CONTENT/mcloud-reports` directory.
* You still have 3 days to use BLACKFRIDAY2020 for 33% off annual licenses, good until December 2nd. Get some!
= 4.1.8 - 11/26/2020 =
* And we're back. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes, truly appreciated!
* Updated Freemius SDK to latest
* Added `mcloud-cloud/storage/should-handle-image-upload` filter to override image uploading logic when performing uploads
with certain other plugins.
* Fix for `open_basedir restriction` error messages.
* Fix for integrated help documentation.
* Added option to turn off brute force image URL replacement for image tags missing the `wp-image-{NUMBER}` css class.
If you are seeing a lot of database calls on a page with a lot of images, try adding this snippet to your theme's functions.php
to insure that Media Cloud has enough "metadata" to do it's job: https://gist.github.com/jawngee/36c104f8a8b8ea7e7f6b0f0b837affa5
* Launched new support and helpdesk site, https://support.mediacloud.press/

* Use BLACKFRIDAY2020 for 33% off annual licenses, good until December 2nd.
= 4.1.6 - 9/23/2020 =
* When Debugging is enabled, a log file will be generated next to the CSV report. This log file includes all the logging
that would normally be in the Debug Log, but limited to the time period the task was running. If you are running into
issues with a task, make sure to turn on Debugging, re-run the task and then attach both the CSV and the log file
to a support ticket https://support.mediacloud.press/submit-issue/
* The `report` command line command has been renamed to `verify`
* You can run the Verify Library task from the WordPress admin by going to Media Cloud -> Task Manager. In the
**Available Tasks** click on **Verify Library**. When it is done running, a report will be in your
`WP_CONTENT/mcloud-reports` directory
* Added a Sync Local task that copies down media from cloud storage to your local server. You can run it from the
WordPress admin by going to Media Cloud -> Task Manager. In the **Available Tasks** click on **Sync Local**.
* You can also run the Sync Local task from the command line via `wp mediacloud syncLocal report-filename.csv`
* Fixed a bug with direct uploads where the cloud storage provider wasn't being saved in the cloud metadata. If you
run the Verify Library task, Media Cloud will fix the issue with any existing direct uploads in your library.
* Added paging to the `syncLocal` and `verify` command line commands, ex: `wp mediacloud verify verify.csv --limit=100 --page=1`
* Fixed Sync Local, Verify Library and Regenerate Thumbnails to work with Imgix enabled.
= 4.1.4 - 9/22/2020 =
* Fix for Regenerate Thumbnails command, it will first attempt to download the original image, if that can't be found then
it will use the "scaled" image that WordPress 5.5 generates.
* Added a new command, `wp mediacloud report report-name.csv` that iterates through all of the items in your media library and reports
on their cloud storage status.
* The Migrate To Cloud, Import From Cloud, Clean Uploads and Regenerate Thumbnails tasks now generate CSV reports when
they run so you can see more details about what they did. The reports are located in your
`WP_CONTENT/mcloud-reports` directory.
* You can toggle task reporting on or off in the Settings -> Batch Processing settings or through the
`MCLOUD_TASKS_GENERATE_REPORTS` environment variable. The default value is ON.
* The Migrate To Cloud task has a new toggle *Generate Verification Report* which causes the task to verify that the
media migrated successfully. This will generate a report in the aforementioned reports directory.
* The `migrateToCloud` wp-cli command now accepts a `--verify` flag to force verification.
= 4.1.2 - 9/21/2020 =
