Changelog

Version history of SafeAlt, newest first.
Last updated: 22 October 2026

0.4.9

• Fixed: SafeAlt buttons (including license activation) failed with a 403 error on websites whose firewall blocks multipart requests.
• When the website answers with something other than expected, the error now shows the HTTP code and the likely cause.

0.4.8

• Fixed: a license key typed in the « I already have a license key » field was always reported as unknown.

0.4.7

• Fixed: a license key containing some symbols (such as < or %) was reported as unknown.

0.4.6

• The SafeAlt menu now sits after the WordPress menus instead of right below Media.
• Notices from WordPress and other plugins are shown again on the SafeAlt screens; SafeAlt’s own notices only appear on the Dashboard, Media and Plugins screens.

• Stricter input sanitization and permission checks.
• Fixed: backslashes typed in an alt text were removed when it was applied or reset.

• Fixes reported by Plugin Check (translations, nonce checks, input sanitization).
• The takeover of MetaVision Alt SEO installations is removed: every site concerned has been updated.

0.4.3

• SafeAlt screens no longer show the banners of other plugins and themes.

• The monthly quota shown is refreshed as soon as an image is described.

0.4.0

• MetaVision Alt SEO is now SafeAlt.
• Installing SafeAlt takes over the settings, connection, queue and history of MetaVision Alt SEO, then deactivates it: you can delete it.

0.3.1

• Image grid: three larger images per row, sharper thumbnails.

0.3.0

• Image grid: images that cannot be processed at the bottom, accurate counters, live updates, shift-click selection.
• Styles and scripts always reloaded after an update.

0.2.0

• Processing in the background: the service wakes the site as soon as images are ready, no cron needed.
• Setup assistant, image picker grid, AVIF and GIF support.
• Empty fields filled automatically with Reset; replacements proposed for fields that already have a value; the title never asks for your attention.
• Texts in the language of the content (German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese), English for any other language.
