You’ve probably noticed that until recently there hadn’t been a release of Bad Behavior in several months. This is due entirely to the fact that I can only spend time on it when incoming donations cover the cost of my time. Otherwise I have to engage in paying work to keep food on my table.
I happen to like giving spammers a hard time, and it’s frustrating that I don’t get to spend enough time on it. You can help me make Bad Behavior even better by setting up a recurring contribution, or making your most generous one-time contribution for any amount.
Thank you again for supporting Bad Behavior development!

Hi I just downloaded and installed the new version and it looks like the version number within the file bad-behavior-wordpress.php is still 2.0.38

Oops you’re right. The code is all correct except for the number. I’ve updated the version # and it should roll out in about 15 minutes. Sorry!
