I will also release a new version of akocomment, and resolve the logged in user bugs that many people have reported me.
release 2.2.0 to be released soon
- All – Security patches: add missing index.html and PHP missing header: defined( ‘_VALID_MOS’ ) or die( ‘Direct Access to this location is not allowed.’ );
- Plugin core is now able to output image to PNG, JPG or GIF selection in admin core settings
- Plugin core is now able to limit the reload tentative of the users, retry counter is stored in user session. If user reload picture more than Retry in tab Text
- Plugin core has a new switch: Use extended charset in image: ex: +*%&/()[email protected]#…true or false
- Plugin core is now able to output align text in image using 4 strategies:
System font with random character position 
TTFonts with random character position
The best for me, OCR is more difficultTTFonts with linear character position
(Default setting)Random Above 3 in a random order. - All – Patches for Login/registration #Joomla framework as file in /patches/ You have either:
- To modify joomla files manually y following steps below OR
- Copy already patched file (Joomla 1.0.3) to the server at the right place
- All – Bug in function getSecurityImageField($textid) the javascript was not boostraped, no influence but bug was revealed when doing login integration
- All – General Settings: It is now possible to display selectively the reload or sound button.
- com_contact, if user failed to enter the right captcha, he lost his data. This is not a bug but more a functionnalities not existing in #Joomla -> the form with history back is always initialize with empty fileds in Mozilla Firefox, while in IE it is working
- Plugin All – Bug if logs are activated, php code logger.php was not included into the delegate plugins/xx/yy/checker.php
- All – New Tab in "General settings" called "Joomla-Patches" this let You swicth on or off the use of security images in login, registration.
- Plugin core – Bug correct the contrast of 2 images bg-L-5.png and bg-L-18.png : there were too dark!
