BotShield is maintained and in use. It is not on a fixed release schedule: changes land as they are finished, and are grouped into a numbered release when there is enough to name. Work completed since v0.2.5 is listed under In development below and is not yet part of a numbered release.

In development

Not yet part of a numbered release.

Changed

  • Hardened authentication, captcha verification, and widget accessibility.
