Pligg CMS 1.0.4 Release
When we first announced plans for the 1.0.4 version of Pligg we had no idea how much work would end up going into it. The original plan was to release some minor bug fixes and to lay some groundwork for a larger upgrade further down the road. As we worked on this version we came up with some new features, some admin panel usability improvements and a large number of bug fixes.

Pligg CMS 1.0.4 Changes
There have been a large number of updates since the previous 1.0.3b release. To see the full list of changes please view our SVN logs. The list below excludes some of the smaller changes.

1. Fix to recalculate comment count when changing the comment status from the admin panel.
2. <title> tag fixes for editlink.php and edit group pages.

Changes made to Killspam feature.

• When you Killspam someone it changes their user level to "Spammer".
• Killspam user's IP address is added to a block list so that they can no longer register an account on the site. Displays an error message to spammers trying to register with a banned IP.
• Killspamed users no longer appear in top users list.
• No longer append "-killspam" to killspam email address. This prevents them from using the same email address to generate another account. It also allows use to potentially collect spammer email addresses in the future, to build a global black list.
• upgrade.php script checks for existing "-killspam" email addresses and changes their user level status to "Spammer". It then removes the "-killspam" from the email address so that their email address appears like normal.
• You can now filter the Admin > Manage > Users page by user levels (God, Admin, Normal, Spammer)
• Admin > Manage > Users does not show "Spammer" level users, unless you select Spammer as a filter. The same idea applies to spam stories in Admin > Manage > News
