</ul>
<h3>1.5.0</h3>
<h3>Minor Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>82e6f21: Move Venue model and VenueController from fair-events to fair-events-experimental. The venues REST API (<code>/fair-events/v1/venues</code>) is now registered by the experimental plugin under its <code>venues</code> feature flag.</li>
<li>76c23f7: Upgrade @wordpress/dataviews from v4 to v16 for admin list views.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Patch Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>ead4d69: Move Duplicate Event, Merge Event, and Mailings tab to fair-events-experimental; rename linking option “No link (standalone event)” to “Event placeholder”; fix Finance tab gating behind fair-finance plugin</li>
</ul>
<h3>1.4.1</h3>
<h3>Patch Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>3d0e399: Fix npm dependencies</li>
</ul>
<h3>1.4.0</h3>
<h3>Minor Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>d0daed8: Add optional per-ticket-type end date (disable_at) and fix undefined variable in event update</li>
</ul>
<h3>1.3.4</h3>
<h3>Patch Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>02cf7b6: Default to WordPress.org language packs; gate <code>load_plugin_textdomain()</code> and the<br />
    wp_set_script_translations() path behind a new per-plugin <code>bundled-translations</code><br />
feature flag (resolved through the same constant / master / filter / option /<br />
default chain as the existing Fair Events features). The flag is exposed in<br />
each plugin’s Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Features tab (or Features submenu) and defaults to off.</p>
<h3>1.3.3</h3>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Patch Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>9ffc5a8: Calendar: link each recurring instance to its own date</p>
<p>Per-occurrence URLs now include <code>?event_date={id}</code> in the events-calendar block,<br />
the weekly-schedule block, and the public events REST API, so visitors land on<br />
the specific instance rather than the bare event permalink. The admin calendar<br />
distinguishes generated recurring instances visually (own icon and color) instead<br />
of styling them like unlinked events.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>0ebaea4: Group admin menus with string positions to avoid overwriting core menus</p>
<p>Each plugin’s top-level admin menu now registers with a unique string decimal<br />
position (<code>20.1</code>–<code>20.4</code>) so the four menus cluster together in order without<br />
colliding with each other or with core WordPress menu items.</p>
<h3>1.3.2</h3>
<h3>1.3.1</h3>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Patch Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>518b6eb: Fix release tooling: sync plugin header Version with package.json so SVN tag publishing finds the dist archive</li>
</ul>
<h3>1.3.0</h3>
<h3>Minor Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>7f6ab85: Show net amounts in the event finance tab: net received per payment, plus a “Total Net” summary tile.</li>
<li>6b8f010: Add scheduled per-event mailings: queue an email anchored to an event date’s start/end with a signed offset, sent automatically by a recurring cron, managed from a new “Mailings” tab in the event admin.</li>
<li>2ed7435: Introduce a feature-flag registry (<code>FairEvents\Core\Features</code>) that splits the<br />
plugin into bundles — <code>venues</code>, <code>sources</code>, <code>galleries</code>, <code>ticketing</code>,<br />
    event-tools, <code>migration</code> — defaulting <strong>off</strong> for a clean public install.<br />
Define <code>FAIR_EVENTS_INTERNAL</code> (or a per-bundle <code>FAIR_EVENTS_FEATURE_*</code><br />
constant) in <code>wp-config.php</code> to opt back into the full build; otherwise toggle<br />
bundles from the new <strong>Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Features</strong> tab. REST controllers, admin<br />
pages, blocks, frontend rewrites, and manage-event tabs all consult the<br />
registry, so disabled bundles register no routes and surface no UI.</li>
<li>7f6ab85: Enhance the participant list printout with row numbers, role and ticket-type columns, and a mailing-list column pre-checked for consented participants.</li>
<li>7f6ab85: Make per-period activity pricing a global setting; activity option prices are derived from the active sale period.</li>
<li>3f8fdb4: Add an optional per-ticket-type minimum activities requirement that can raise the event-date-wide minimum (e.g. an “Early bird” ticket requiring at least 2 activities). The per-type value only ever increases the requirement; a value below the global minimum is ignored. Enforced both in the signup form (the gate updates live as the buyer switches ticket type) and server-side.</li>
<li>7f6ab85: Export questionnaire responses to Markdown, sharing one submission-markdown template between the submission detail and responses pages. Phone answers now persist in questionnaire submissions.</li>
<li>7682a28: Recurring events and sign-up management. Sign up for recurring events with synced date pickers, master-group inheritance, and orphan cleanup. New printable sign-up lists with comments, capacity limits, and in-popup role editing. Ticket settings reorganized with sales periods moved out of the ticket table. Finance tab filters failed/live transactions and deep-links to transactions and participants. Group invitations added.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Patch Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>461b792: Stack the activity option Name and Short name inputs in a single column (one above the other) instead of two side-by-side columns, narrowing the activity options table.</li>
<li>0a4fe6c: Fit the Event meta box action buttons into the available sidebar width: “Edit Full Details” and “Unlink from event” now share one row beneath the full-width “Save Event” button, so longer translated labels no longer wrap awkwardly.</li>
<li>6f50483: Fix <code>payment_expires_at</code> being parsed as local time in the Manage Event audience tab, which falsely flagged in-progress payment holds as expired on non-UTC browsers (e.g. CEST).</li>
<li>be4ad94: Hide the per-ticket-type “Min. activities” field behind a new “Per-ticket-type minimum activities” setting in the ticket Configuración panel (off by default). When the setting is off, every ticket type uses the event-wide minimum; turning it on reveals the per-type input, which still only ever raises the global.</li>
<li>fa588db: Reorganize the Manage Event “Event details” tab into stacked full-width cards (Basics, Categorization, Recurrence) so it uses the available desktop width like the Audience tab.</li>
<li>7f6ab85: Miscellaneous fixes: link to the event page from the admin calendar, close the payment callback popup without a page reload, integrate the confirm & save buttons in the edit popup, keep a cancelled signup registered as “interested”, remove the email from the purchase message, and stop nulling transactions.</li>
<li>7f6ab85: Update the local Docker environment and “Tested up to” headers to WordPress 7.</li>
</ul>
<h3>1.2.0</h3>
<h3>Minor Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>41a295c: Improve event audience management. Edit ticket type and options on existing sign-ups via a popup, delete sign-ups, and store the chosen option name on the sign-up record. Audience table gains copy buttons, activity totals, side counter, ticket shortname, and a wider layout that shows the activity options purchased by each participant.</li>
<li>41a295c: Link tickets to event activities. Tickets can now be assigned to specific activities by ID, with per-activity discounts (including facilitator-based discounts) applied at sign-up and at the option level. Ticket option table extended to support this.</li>
</ul>
