    • UPDATE: add compatibility for Tasty Recipes plugin.
    • UPDATE: add 8080 to list of accepted ports when determining URLs.

    • NEW: add compatibility for MyBookTable plugin
    • NEW: add option for custom border hover color

    • FIX: issue with OG tags & Twitter cards not populating correctly on blog index & other “special” pages.
    • FIX: issue with SVG colors.
    • FIX: reduce Facebook API throttle value to avoid triggering warning emails from Facebook.
