<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>
<li>IMPROVE: 3 new i18n strings (selectAll, scanAll, scanAllDone) translated in 16 languages.</li>
</ul>
<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: Status labels renamed to “No incidents” / “Incidents detected” (es_ES: “Sin incidencias” / “Incidencias detectadas”), color-coded green and red respectively; all 16 .po/.mo files updated.</li>
<li>NEW: Help tab with 12 documented sections covering all plugin features: Getting started, Uptime monitoring, SSL & domain expiry, Email alerts, Performance charts & statistics, Malware scanning, WHOIS / DNS lookup, Dashboard widget, CSV export / import, Card management, and step-by-step guides for both API keys (Google Safe Browsing and URLhaus).</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>
