Accessing SVN Repositories Through A Firewall

If you’re having problems accessing an SVN server through a corporate firewall or caching proxy server then see if the repository offers HTTPS, as well as HTTP, access. The system that would usually blocks HTTP access (because SVN access uses non-standard HTTP methods) can’t inspect the encrypted traffic sent to a HTTPS server so it passes straight through. This is quite handy for posting plugin updates to the wordpress.org plugin repository.

K2 Style Switcher – 1.1.2

Version 1.1.2 of the K2 Style Switcher plugin has been committed to the WordPress plugin repository. This version contains the following enhancements:

  • Added ‘languages‘ folder for l10n files
  • Added German translation (de_DE), many thanks to Julian Manzel
  • Confirmed compatibility against WordPress 2.8.5

As usual, if you’ve got the plugin installed then WordPress should display the fact that an update is available on the plugins menu within 12 hours. The plugin can be manually downloaded from the WordPress repository if you don’t want to wait.
