XF Bot Gard 1.1.5

Minor update to the Members Online feature.

• Visitors currently being challenged or validated by XF Bot Guard are now kept out of XenForo’s robot classification, keeping the online list and Bot Guard counts better aligned.
• Trusted or explicitly allowed bot traffic are now marked as robots in XenForo’s online activity where appropriate.

This update was added because XenForo’s robot detection is primarily based on User-Agent values, which can be easily spoofed. XF Bot Guard has stronger signals available, so this update helps align XenForo’s online activity classification with XF Bot Guard’s trust and challenge decisions.

This is a minor maintenance release that refines how XF Bot Guard reports visitor activity within XenForo.

• Prevented the background browser verification collector from appearing as a visitor’s current page in XenForo’s online activity displays.
• Improved activity reporting so genuine visitors are less likely to appear as though they are viewing an internal verification endpoint while browsing normally.
• No challenge behaviour, verification logic, or visitor tracking decisions have been changed in this release.
