XFtoWP 1.6.2 changelog:

• NEW: Redesigned Bulk Actions tool allows far more flexible and precise syncing actions
• NEW: Instead of syncing all users at a time, can set custom WP and XF criteria for less resource-intensive syncs
• NEW: Sort XF users by primary and secondary usergroups, sort WP users by role
• NEW: Change WP user roles during bulk user syncing
• NEW: New process that only connects users, with the option to register the missing user on either platform (or skip)
• Each sync process has been optimized to only perform intended action and not "sync by default", which greatly increases performance on large user syncs
• Fixes rounding error on Sync logs pagination and shows full list of synced Users and Threads.

Notice to all XFtoWP customers: Due to an extended absence, all active license holders (within 90 days of this release) are granted 1 year of support and plugin updates. Please reply to this thread or message @kolakube for your extension.
