Simple History 4.10.0

This release contains some nice addition and improvements to the way that terms are logged.

The biggest change is that now terms that are added or removed on a post or page is shown in the log. This makes it even easier to follow what edits are being done on your website by other users.

Another improvement is the way that adding (or removing) many terms in a short time is shown in the log. They are now grouped by their type, meaning that many added terms in a short while is shown as one event with a “+n similar events”-link to show more. Previously they were shown one by one, possible making it difficult to get a quick overview over the latest web site activities.

The following screenshot shows the new behavior:

And the next screenshot shows how it used to look. Repetitive and taking up to much space.

Also noticeable for new users of the plugin is the improved welcome message that greets the user after installing the plugin.
