AdBlock Detector Pro v2.8.3

The block detection has been drastically improved across all platforms, specifically the most commonly used block detection platforms.

Notes, please read:

To make further releases easier I've migrated to a better storefront software.

Use the following links to access downloads or make a new purchase:

• Existing license holders within 12-months of validity: access here the old storefront
• Need to purchase a license? use the new storefront

I've only migrated user accounts to the new storefront, not old orders/licenses (apologies in advance).

This is a non-urgent or required update.

• This version adds back the original non-minified javascript files
  • This files are rarely used, but may be required in development mode or when minification is disabled along with automatic javascript generation

For most users, this update provides zero benefit. However, moving forward this build and all future builds will leave non-minified javascript files for broader support.

• Defaulted URL downloads to CURL
• Fallback to allow_url_open
• Added log messages for failed URL downloading
• If file writing fails, it defaults to static files
  • Creates LOG error to let administrators know the /js/ folder is not writable

• Added an admin option to show "upgrade" link if the adblock is being shown to a logged in user
• Consolidated notice styles to stylesheet .less
• Removed HTML markup from notice phrase

If you're updating an made your own template changes you may want to revert all templates and build over.

• Restored the per-user level usergroup options (unsure why they went missing in v1.9.8 to v2.0.0)
• Bug fix (ErrorException: [E_NOTICE] Undefined index: wutime_adblock_recent_easylist) on install
  • Uses fallback until options are installed post install (then uses proper method on future cron runs)

Thanks to @SteveW1966
