This is the first bug fix release of the 5.1 branch of Breadcrumb NavXT. 5.1.0 introduced a bug in the behavior of attachments, where the attachment and parent would have the same link. This has been fixed in 5.1.1. Additionally, the check for WP_Post in bcn_breadcrumb_trail::do_post() has been reduced from a fatal PHP error to a _doing_it_wrong() call producing useful information for developers.

Additionally, two bugs that affect versions other than just 5.1.0 were fixed. Breadcrumb NavXT will no longer cause PHP to throw errors or warnings on author archive pages for authors with zero published posts. The author archive code was modernized and made much more robust than that in 5.1.0 and earlier. Lastly, the parameters for the included widget’s (pre) text filter were changed to match the default WordPress text widget’s text filter parameters.

As always, you can grab the latest version of Breadcrumb NavXT from the Breadcrumb NavXT page. If you experience any issues with this version of Breadcrumb NavXT, please leave a comment on this post detailing the issue.
