Visual SEO Studio 0.8.11.1175

Published: Monday, December 9, 2013

This is a stability release. Improves stability especially in case of large crawl datasets in memory.

Fixes:

  • Fixed real world crash occurred with the weirdest URL I have ever seen, which caused URL Suggestions to crash. Thanks to the user who provided the culprit URL domain.
  • Fixed real-world crash on Html suggestions for the weirdest URL I have ever seen.
  • Fixed (rare) threading issue with DB access. At least in two real-world cases it caused a crash to an end user.
  • Robustness - Fixed issues with non-responsive UI in presence of very large crawl data, when closing a tab gave the impression of having the application hang.
  • Robustness - Fixed issues with non-responsive UI in presence of very large crawl data, when closing a tab gave the impression of having the application hang.
  • Robustness: application much more robust against rare corner-case threading issues when closing tabs during the load phase.
  • Crawling, fixed canonical computation of relative canonical tags in presence of base tag (both rare, and the combination is a corner case, but base should be used to compute any relative URL when available, not only normal links).
  • Authentication via BWT, improved error message.
  • Fixed localization issue: authentication via BWT API did set user interface culture to English.
  • User agent spoofing, fixed user-agent string text for implemented bots (added missing slash).
  • Localization - "Title" was not localizable in Properties Windows and HTML Suggestions.
  • English Localization: fixed typos.
  • Robustness: application much more robust against rare corner-case threading issues when closing tabs during the load phase.
  • Robustness - Any unexpected error occurring when saving a screenshot now doesn't force the application to close after submitting a crash report, it simply closes the dialog. Improved diagnostic should ease reproducing and fixing the underlying bug.
  • Robustness - Any unexpected error occurring when computing HTML/URL/GA Suggestion now doesn't force the application to close after submitting a crash report, it simply aborts computation (you might still see the progress running). Improved diagnostic should ease reproducing and fixing the underlying bug.
  • Robustness - Session picker allowed picking a still-running crawl sessions for inspection, which subsequently could generate inconsistent states and weird errors and apparent application hanging (actually sloooowly recovering). Now still-running crawl session are discarded from the session list (e.g. when launching Html/URL/GA Suggestions)
  • Start new project dialog: fixed minor control logic issues
  • URL suggestions, "Too many tokens" report: minor corrections and stability fixes.

Usability:

  • Start new project dialog: First time usage, project name pre-filled as "My First Project" (localized), and is pre-selected.
  • Tabular View, now when the view is used to show all crawl session data it does not show the "subset" field with value "none" (non localized). It actually wasn't meant to show it in the first place; the field is shown only when opening in Tabular View a subset from a Suggestion report or a Custom Filter.
  • Language switcher: now current language item is not shown as disabled, but with a tick mark aside.
  • SERP snippet, title link is now actually a link to the browse the page.

Various:

  • Crawling: now canonical paths of crawled pages are added to the crawl queue if yet unexplored. This might be a source to find non-linked URLs (or could lead to canonical encoding issues, even if already traceable by other means)
  • user-agent spoofing, added AdsBot-Google, Seznambot, Baiduspider
  • URL suggestions, removed notation "Experimental" for "Too many tokens" report, after corrections and stability fixes.
