This release fixes a security vulnerability, all users of Meta tags quick 7.x-2.2 and lower, or any 7.x-2.x-dev snapshot from before 2011-12-14 are urged to upgrade. For more details, see SA-CONTRIB-2011-059.
2.0 release is here!
Most important new features are upgrade path from nodewords (based on @maxiorel's code) and path-based meta tags (i.e. meta tags on pages that are not entities - views, default front page etc.)
Path based meta tags are now enabled by default, since this highly anticipated option was missed by too many people
Since 1.9, code has become cleaner and more efficient, however, upgrade should be smooth (there are no known issues).
Significantly reduced code size, removing unused and inefficient functions.
No more separate front page settings - they are managed through path-based metatags.
Don't forget to run update.php
Fresh new feature, as planned for the 2.0 roadmap, is configurable automatic creation of meta tags and linkage to existing entity types.
+Multiple bug fixes.
I hope this is the last alpha version, and next step will be 2.0-beta.
Show stopper so far is upgrade path from nodewords.
Second step towards 2.0 release.
Early adopters welcome to test new configuration screen, which will allow linking meta tags to existing entity types (create and attach, does not work yet).
Also, there's new widget type 'checkboxes', used to edit robots meta tag.
2 important new features: support for non-entity pages (path-based meta tags), and support for the robots meta tag (noindex/nofollow).
The following things need to be done before I can release 2.0:
- selectable install option (currently it's all or nothing - manual adding of meta tag fields or adding of all fields to all content types)
- support for the link head element (canonical URLs)
- upgrade path for the nodewords users.
1.x series answer basic needs of meta tags management: keywords and description, and only for pages that are entity displays (nodes, users, taxonomy terms).
Target of 2.x development is extension of module capabilities, in 2 directions.
1. metatags_quick 2.x will support all drupal pages, including aggregate ones like views, panels etc.
2. metatags_quick 2.x will support more head element types, like rel nofollow, noindex and so on
initial code for additions in this branch was made by @john.oltman
1.4 contained critical bug #1122296: taxonomy working?, due to it only one tag was shown at a time.
Added settings screen (admin/structure/metatags_quick) with an option to set frontpage meta tags
Added option of automatic creation of keywords/description meta tag fields
1. Removed unused code
2. Changed CCK mentiones to Field API (latter is correct)
3. Ability to set meta name different from the field name
4. Dependency on Field UI
