A new version of Permalink Redirect WordPress Plugin has been released today. 0.6.0 adds one new function and fixes one annoying issue.
-
Permalink Redirect can now redirect visitors to your RSS/Atom feed to FeedBurner. It is useful for those who wish to track their feed statistics on FeedBurner, and continoue to advertise their old feed address. This can be easily done with a few lines of
.htaccessand mod_rewrite hacks, but (1) not everyone wants to touch.htaccess(2) not everyone is on Apache.I wrote this feature as I have recently moved my personal blog from DreamHost/Apache 1.3 to an OpenVZ VPS running Lighttpd 1.4.11.

Fix an issue where 404 is raised after redirect, if archive page does not contain any post. This is raised by Vincent here.
Not really “critical”, but grab it if you want these changes.
FYI, there also is a way to accomplish this via .htaccess. Place these lines just before your main WP rewrite rules:
# force trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /+[^\.]+$
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
For example:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# force trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /+[^\.]+$
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
Voila!
