Version 3.2 of the Akismet plugin for WordPress is available.

In addition to six minor bugfixes, version 3.2 includes a WP-CLI module, so you can now check and recheck comments from the command line. (For usage instructions, run wp help akismet or see the documentation in the module.) For full details on all of the changes since version 3.1.11, see the changelog.

Version 3.1.11 of the Akismet plugin for WordPress is now available.

For a full list of the changes in this release, see the revision log, but here are the highlights:

• A bug that could cause the “Check for Spam” button to skip some comments has been fixed.
• A bug that could prevent some spam submissions from being sent to Akismet has been fixed.
• All links in the plugin have been updated to use https:// whenever possible.
• Akismet won’t log debug information unless both WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG are enabled. Previously, if only WP_DEBUG_LOG was enabled, Akismet would still (incorrectly) log debug information.
