This week, we’re hearing from Pippin and Brad about what they’ve been up to, and both will talk about one of their respective blog posts that have gone up recently.

Pippin’s main update is that Restricted Content Pro 2.6 went live. It was a smooth release, and it has a few great new features. First, they rebuilt the user interface and how content restriction is set up. There is new metadata and APIs, and they’ve replaced PDF invoices with HTML to help save space during downloads. Finally, they’re using Drip Content, a new add-on that will eliminate the problem of people signing up for one month of the program, downloading all of the content, then cancelling.

Brad has recently released the version of 1.6.1 Migrate DB Pro. Most of the differences are bug fixes. It’s now WordPress 4.6 compatible. They’ve launched automatic renewals. Perhaps one of the most important fixes is that the version number is now in the name of the file to make it more usable with JavaScript.
