CF Image — release notes

Metadata normalization — no functional change.

Changed

• author is now Codebit (was "Nivoli"), and author_url moved to https://codebit.nl/cf-image to match the other first-party add-ons.

Fixed

• ext.cf_image.php $version was left at 1.10.2 when 1.10.3 shipped; it now tracks the add-on version (1.10.4).

Install: extract cf_image/ into system/user/addons/, then Developer → Add-Ons → CF Image → Update.

Distribution release: CF Image can now self-update through Addon Expert's license-gated registry. No behavior change to the addon itself.

Added

• Registry update source. addon.setup.php declares a registry source (updates.nivoli.com, product cf_image). With a CF Image license key entered under Addon Expert → Settings → Registry license keys, the Releases screen tracks CF Image and installs updates in one click — the download is signed and its sha256 verified before the atomic swap. No public GitHub repo required.

Install: extract cf_image/ into system/user/addons/, then Developer → Add-Ons → CF Image → Update.

Documentation refresh ahead of the marketplace listing — no behavior changes.

Changed

• In-CP Docs brought fully current. New sections for the Images tools (Optimize + Tinify, Broken images, Fake images), the command line (eecli, with the cron example), and the setup checklist / live probe. The Audit section is rewritten around the coverage % model (history sparkline + regression), Suggestions reflects the rules/recipes flow and the broad-pattern → Catch-all behavior, and the Misses-log section points at its own page (capture toggle, viewer, 2 MB cap). Removed a host-specific reference.
• README updated to match: the on-disk tools are documented as the Images group (Optimize / Broken / Fake), and the Suggestions/Drift text reflects the catch-all guidance and the MSM "compare against" picker.

Install: extract cf_image/ into system/user/addons/, then Add-ons → CF Image → Update.

Fixed

• **Suggestions no longer offers bare-extension globs (*.jpg, *.png, …) as rules.** Turning one into a rule applies a single recipe to *every* file of that type and — because rule matching is first-match-by-priority — can shadow your more specific rules. These now appear in a separate, read-only "Broad patterns — use Catch-all" section instead of the create table: when catch-all is on it notes they're already covered; when off it points to the Settings catch-all toggle. Only patterns with real structure (a __variant or stem) remain create-able as rules.

On a ChannelImages site — where most uncovered files collapse to bare extensions — this makes the page recommend the right tool (catch-all) instead of a footgun.

Install: extract cf_image/ into system/user/addons/, then Add-ons → CF Image → Update.

Multi-Site Manager correctness — the cross-site features assumed a two-site (#1/#2) install and misbehaved on installs with three or more sites.

Fixed

• "Copy recipe to other site" (Rules) targeted a hardcoded site #2. From any site other than #1 it copied to the wrong place, and on a 3+ site install most sites were unreachable. Each tag-only recipe now shows one "→ <site>" link per *other* MSM site, labeled with the site's name, copying to that exact site.
• Drift only ever diffed sites #1 and #2 (and its copy buttons wrote to #1/#2 regardless of which sites were shown). It now compares the current site against any other site you choose from a "Compare against" picker, labels everything with real site names, and its copy buttons write to the actual site shown. All caches are cleared after a cross-site copy.
• Both copy paths validate the target is a real, different site before writing.

Notes

• Per-site configuration was already correct and is unchanged: settings, recipes, rules, audit history, and the misses log are all per-site, and each MSM site is seeded with its own empty config on install/update. A site showing "not configured" / no Tinify key simply hasn't been set up yet — that's expected, not a bug.
• No schema changes; drop-in from any 1.9.x.

Install: extract cf_image/ into system/user/addons/, then Add-ons → CF Image → Update.

Added

• The misses log is capped at 2 MB. Once it exceeds the cap, the oldest entries are pruned automatically (newest ~1 MB kept, on a whole-line boundary, with a "pruned" marker) — so leaving capture on under heavy traffic can no longer grow the file without bound. The size check is one cheap stat per request (not per logged miss), and only the rare over-cap case rewrites the file, lock-guarded against concurrent prunes.

Changed

• Removed the long intro block from the dashboard — it duplicated the in-CP Docs page and pushed the useful content down. The overview now leads with coverage and status; the full usage guide lives in Docs & examples.

Install: extract cf_image/ into system/user/addons/, then Add-ons → CF Image → Update.

Dashboard now leads with coverage, and does less work to render.

Added

• Image coverage is the headline stat on the overview — a big percentage from your most recent audit (with "% via explicit rules · N uncovered of M in scope" and an Audit link), or a "Run an audit" nudge if none has run yet. Far more useful at a glance than rule/recipe counts, which become secondary tiles.

Changed / Fixed

• The dashboard does less I/O per load. It no longer reads the tail of the misses log on every render (it only shows the file's size/age — now a plain stat). Edge-Cache-Tags detection is cached 5 minutes instead of instantiating that addon on every load. The coverage figure is a single indexed query against stored audit history — no live scan. Dropped the low-value "Cache TTL" tile.
• Coverage and addon-detection reads are wrapped so a hiccup in either can't block the page.

Note: the intermittent "doesn't load, works on the 3rd try" you saw is consistent with shared-server (PHP-FPM / edge) contention on that host rather than something heavy in this page — but the dashboard now does strictly less and surfaces the genuinely useful number.

Actually fixes "Shrink all" (v1.9.4 didn't finish the job).

Fixed

• "Shrink all" still fell back to the slow synchronous batch ("3 compressed, click again", no spinner). v1.9.4 read the token from EE.CSRF_TOKEN but still bailed to the synchronous path when that global is empty — which it is when CSRF protection is off (as on some installs), where the POST needs no token at all. The AJAX loop now runs regardless of token presence, so it engages everywhere with the intended live per-file progress.
• Shrink-all and deep-scan buttons now show a spinner + "Working…" while running (they're AJAX-driven, so the global button-spinner intentionally skips them — they had no busy state of their own). The label restores if interrupted.
• Hardened both AJAX loops against an unexpected/error response (e.g. an expired-form CSRF error) — they stop with a "reload and retry" message instead of looping.

Install: extract cf_image/ into system/user/addons/, then Add-ons → CF Image → Update.

Usability pass — fixes a dead "Shrink all" button and clarifies the Suggestions and Misses-log flows.

Fixed

• "Shrink all eligible" did nothing. Its AJAX handler looked for a CSRF token inside its own form markup, which EE doesn't inject there — so it silently fell back to a slow, feedback-less synchronous request. It now reads EE's EE.CSRF_TOKEN global and runs the batch over AJAX with live per-file progress. (Same fix applied to the deep-scan loop.)

Changed

• Suggestions page rewritten for clarity. A plain 1-2-3 flow, and it now says outright that nothing on the page is live until you click Create — the checkboxes select what to turn into rules, they're not active settings (pre-ticked = a confident recipe match). Columns relabeled (Create? · Match · Recipe to apply), the button is "Create selected rules", and there's a pointer to Catch-all for anyone who'd rather not manage per-pattern rules.
• Misses log now leads with "what to do with this" (capture → Suggestions, or just turn on Catch-all), and the grouping dropdown matches the rest of the addon's styling.

Note

Yes, EE has the catch-all (Settings → "Catch-all"), same as the WordPress plugin — on-prefix images that match no rule get format=auto, fit=scale-down, width≤1920 automatically. It's now cross-linked from Suggestions and the Misses log.

Install: extract cf_image/ into system/user/addons/, then Add-ons → CF Image → Update.

Changed

• Every action button now shows immediate feedback. Click Shrink, Save, Replace, Restore, Check, Find heaviest, Run scan — the button instantly becomes a spinner + "Working…" (and disables) so a multi-second action never looks dead. Implemented once in the shared layout, so it applies on every page automatically.
• Buttons cancelled at a confirm() dialog don't spin; the already-AJAX deep-scan and batch-shrink forms keep their own live per-item progress.
• Fixed a double confirm() on "Shrink all" — now a single prompt, and cancelling it no longer leaves the batch running.
