WP Offload S3 1.2 Released

After nearly 6 months of development I’m pleased to announce the release of WP Offload S3 1.2. For now you’ll need to download it from My Account. Updates through the WordPress dashboard will be enabled soon, hopefully next week. In this iteration of the plugin we have made some significant under-the-hood improvements, which fundamentally changes how S3 URLs are handled. These changes should make WP Offload S3 more reliable and less of a burden on server resources. Before I go onto discuss the changes, let me explain how WP Offload S3 used to handle S3 URLs and the problems with that implementation.
The Old Implementation
It’s relatively simple. When you inserted an attachment into post content, the S3 URL was added to the editor and saved to the database. However, storing S3 URLs in the database presented a few problems:
What happens if you want to change the URL format? For example, if you decided to serve your Media Library from CloudFront as opposed to S3.
If you uninstalled WP Offload S3 and deleted your S3 bucket what happens to existing content?
What about private attachments? If signed S3 URLs expire after 15 minutes and they were embedded directly into post
