<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>
<li>NEW: Scan all — sequential background scan of all monitored sites with live badge updates and completion toast.</li>

<h3></h3>
<p>Version: 2026-04-02 — v0.9.2</p>
<ul>

<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>

LMN Site Monitor

A lightweight WordPress uptime and SSL monitoring plugin with email alerts, ECharts performance charts (2D/3D), and dashboard widget.

<p>FlexiCache is a fast, full-featured and flexible caching system which will improve the performance and availability of any WordPress site.</p>
<p>It is highly configurable to allow unlimited caching rules – expiring different pages at different times, not caching some pages at all, caching multiple versions of the same page depending on browser, language, and so on.</p>
<p>FlexiCache will also work straight out of the box without any need for complex configuration.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Extensively configurable using user-defined conditions</li>
<li>Handling of high-traffic periods where multiple clients may simultaneously request uncached or expired items</li>
<li>Standalone mode which bypasses WordPress and third-party theme and plugin code to serve cached pages faster</li>
<li>Choice of storage engines: Filesystem, Memcache and SQLite</li>
<li>Pre-caching functionality to cache new versions of pages before the existing ones expire</li>
<li>SQLite indexing of Filesystem and Memcache stores to speed up removing specific items from the cache (automatically enabled if SQLite is available)</li>
<li>Sends appropriate HTTP cache headers to the requesting client</li>
<li>Serves files in compressed formats accepted by the requesting client</li>
<li>Compatible with WordPress MU</li>
</ul>
<h3>Upgrading FlexiCache</h3>
<p>FlexiCache stores config and cache data within the plugin directory (see plugin documentation in versions 1.2.4.2 onwards for the reason why).</p>
<p>If you upgrade the plugin using WordPress’s built-in upgrade process, the entire plugin directory will be replaced, including your config and cache data.</p>
<p>To preserve these, take a copy of the “plugins/FlexiCache/_data” directory before upgrading, and then copy it back after the upgrade is complete.</p>
<p>If you upgrade directly via SVN, this should not be required, since only the files under version control will be updated.</p>
<h3>Deactivating FlexiCache</h3>
<p>FlexiCache can be disabled via the admin interface as with any plugin, however if you are running in Standalone mode, you should remove the .htaccess modifications before deactivating the plugin.</p>
<p>For a standard WordPress install, this modification can be done via the admin interface, however it is recommended that you make this change manually, especially if using WordPress MU, where multiple sites may share the same .htaccess file.</p>
<p>Please see the documentation supplied with the plugin (accessible via WordPress’s admin interface) for more information.</p>
