<h3></h3>
<p>Version: 2026-05-26 — v1.0.0</p>
<ul>
<li>COMPAT: WordPress 7.0 full compatibility — tested and confirmed against WP 7.0 core changes (Modern theme, PHPMailer 7.0.2, PHP 7.4 minimum).</li>
<li>IMPROVE: CSS scoping fix — postbox header rule (.hndle) now correctly scoped to .lm-scope, preventing style leakage to other dashboard widgets on index.php.</li>
<li>NEW: Apache ECharts 5.6.0 + echarts-gl 2.0.8 bundled locally in /assets/ (no external CDN, GDPR-safe); Chart.js replaced as charting engine.</li>
<li>NEW: 3D bar chart of response times per site via echarts-gl (WebGL).</li>
<li>NEW: GitHub-style activity heatmap (checks per day/hour) powered by ECharts heatmap series.</li>
<li>NEW: Toggle in the charts UI to switch between 2D and 3D view.</li>
<li>IMPROVE: Dark mode for charts uses ECharts native ‘dark’ theme — no extra CSS required.</li>
<li>IMPROVE: Chart.js and date-fns adapter removed from plugin bundle; replaced by ECharts 5.6.0 (self-hosted, Apache 2.0 licence).</li>
</ul>
<h3></h3>
<p>Version: 2026-05-16 — v0.9.4</p>
<ul>
<li>NEW: Site thumbnail — each card now shows a screenshot preview via Automattic mshots (s0.wordpress.com/mshots/v1/). No API key required; images load lazily with CDN caching and dark-mode brightness filter.</li>
<li>NEW: Telegram Bot alerts — new accordion in Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Alerts: Bot Token + Chat ID. Formatted HTML messages sent for all alert types (site down, recovery, SSL expiry, domain expiry). Works alongside email and Discord.</li>
<li>NEW: Discord Webhook alerts — new accordion in Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Alerts: Webhook URL. Alerts delivered as color-coded embeds (red = down, orange = warning, green = recovery).</li>
<li>SECURITY: Full secrets encryption — SMTP password, Telegram token, Discord URL, Google Safe Browsing key, and URLhaus key are encrypted with AES-256-CBC using AUTH_KEY + SECURE_AUTH_SALT before storage. Settings forms never return secret values to the browser.</li>
<li>IMPROVE: i18n complete — 51 previously untranslated PHP strings added to the .pot template and fully translated across all 16 supported languages; all .po and .mo files recompiled. A pre-existing untranslated string (Google Safe Browsing optional key notice) also filled in for 7 languages.</li>
<li>FIX: Closing the security scan modal no longer causes a flash from dark to light mode; page reload removed, scan results update in-place.</li>
<li>FIX: Scan status label (“No incidents” / “Incidents detected”) now appears on the card immediately after scanning, without requiring a manual page reload.</li>
<li>FIX: Plural-form translations in .mo files were corrupted (drag-to-reorder label was appearing in SSL/domain expiry day fields); all 16 .mo files recompiled with correct GNU gettext plural-form encoding.</li>
<li>IMPROVE: Performance charts redesign — neon color palette for bar chart; trend chart shows filled min–max band with adaptive Y axis; distribution chart replaced with animated Polar Area chart; neon glow effect on all chart canvases in dark mode.</li>
</ul>
<h3></h3>
<p>Version: 2026-04-29 — v0.9.3</p>
<ul>
<li>NEW: Animated toast notification system — success / error / warning toasts appear bottom-right, auto-dismiss 3.8 s, click to close, slide-in/out animation. Replaces silent AJAX operations.</li>
<li>IMPROVE: “Force” and “Check all now” buttons change to “Checking…” and disable during server-side check.</li>
<li>IMPROVE: Pin/Unpin actions show a success toast; AJAX errors show an error toast with UI rollback.</li>
<li>IMPROVE: Card reorder now shows “Order saved” toast on server confirmation.</li>
<li>IMPROVE: Site cards lift 2 px on hover with smooth shadow transition; suppressed during drag.</li>
<li>IMPROVE: 5 new i18n strings added; translations for 16 languages pending.</li>
<li>SECURITY: SSRF protection — admin-supplied URLs validated against private/reserved IP ranges before acceptance; only http/https allowed.</li>
<li>SECURITY: error_msg sanitization — HTTP error body snippets sanitized with sanitize_text_field() before storage.</li>
<li>NEW: Unified action bar (top + bottom) — Select all checkbox, bulk actions, Check all now, Scan all, Export CSV, Import CSV consolidated in one strip above and below the cards.</li>

<h3></h3>
<p>Version: 2026-04-02 — v0.9.2</p>
<ul>
<li>FIX: URLhaus (abuse.ch) integration now requires an API key (Auth-Key header); added URLhaus API Key field in Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Security scanning. Without a key the URLhaus check is skipped gracefully.</li>
<li>FIX: Scan modal failed to open with “i18n is not defined” JS error — resolved by declaring i18n from cfg.i18n inside initScanModal().</li>
<li>FIX: PDF security report printed blank — modal is now temporarily moved to document.body before window.print() and restored afterwards so @media print selectors work correctly.</li>
<li>FIX: “Scanning…” text rendered as garbled bytes (double-encoded UTF-8) — replaced with an animated indeterminate progress bar.</li>
<li>IMPROVE: Scan badge button removed from card header; scan result (shield icon + date + status label) now appears as an inline row inside the card metadata block, consistent with the rest of the card layout.</li>
<li>FIX: “Scan” button font-size reduced to match the rest of the card action buttons (11 px).</li>

<li>IMPROVE: Top toolbar now shows a compact API keys notice with direct links to Google Cloud Console and abuse.ch, replacing the old generic description block.</li>
<li>IMPROVE: 21 new i18n strings added to all 16 supported languages.</li>

CheckView

<p>Websites rarely fail loudly. Forms stop submitting. Leads disappear. Emails never send. Checkout buttons break quietly in the background. These issues often go unnoticed until sales or leads are lost.</p>
<p>CheckView automatically tests your WordPress forms on a schedule, using real browser sessions to verify that submissions complete successfully and emails are sent. It also supports testing logins, carts, and WooCommerce checkout flows.</p>
<p>Built specifically for WordPress and WooCommerce, CheckView helps site owners, developers, and agencies detect problems early and resolve them faster, without writing code or setting up complex testing infrastructure.</p>
<h3>Works Well With</h3>
<p>CheckView works well with popular WordPress form and eCommerce plugins including Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, Ninja Forms, Formidable Forms, WS Form, and WooCommerce.</p>
<h3>Important</h3>
<p>This plugin requires an active <a href="https://checkview.io/" rel="nofollow ugc">CheckView</a> account.  The plugin can be installed and activated without an account, but automated testing features are only available once the site is connected to the CheckView platform.</p>
<h3>Key Features</h3>

<li>Form and WooCommerce metadata needed to generate and validate tests (no personal customer data)</li>
<li>Product names and images used for checkout test selection</li>
</ul>
<h3>What CheckView Does Not Do</h3>
<p>CheckView does not replace manual QA, visual regression testing, or load testing tools. It is designed specifically to verify that critical WordPress actions, such as form submissions and checkout flows, function correctly over time and may require manual adjustment depending on your specific website setup.</p>
<h3>Documentation</h3>
<p>Extensive documentation can be found in our <a href="https://checkview.io/docs/" rel="nofollow ugc">Docs</a> hub.</p>
<h3>Support</h3>
<p>Support is available directly within the CheckView dashboard. Our team can help troubleshoot issues, configure your tests, and build custom test flows for your site.</p>
