313		-= 10.10.1 =
314		-- Changes in all versions:
315		- * New: Added a new form layout, "Wizard (Steps Timeline)", on the Settings > Booking Form page. This layout displays a wizard with a "Steps" timeline at the top of the form. It also features improved borders for a cleaner look.
316		- * New: Added ability to set Service selection with specific duration and start time for appointment bookings. In the Setup Wizard, you can select "Wizard (Steps Timeline) - Service Duration." This feature is ideal for appointment types based on service duration, such as salon or doctor appointments, consultations, product demos, table bookings, and more.
317		- * Tip and Trick: Add a time duration field in the Settings > Booking Form page with the reserved name "durationtime" and options like: "Service A (15 min)@@00:15" or "Service D (1 hour)@@01:00". The option format is "Title@@Time Duration," where "Title" is usually the service name and "Time Duration" is defined in the format HH:MM (HH = hours from 00 to 23, MM = minutes from 00 to 59).

444		- * New Added a Configurable Confirmation section. You can now decide what to show in the "Confirmation Window" after a booking is created.

446		- * New Updated typography for booking form elements. This enhancement provides a cleaner interface and helps prevent CSS conflicts with themes.
447		- * New Added the option "Use Selected Times for Each Booking Date", which can be enabled if the 'Multiple Days' selection mode is activated. This feature is useful for using the selected times as booked time slots on each selected date. Otherwise, the selected times will serve as the start time for the first date and the end time for the last date, with all middle dates fully booked. Enable this option on the Settings > General page in the "Calendar" section. (10.1.5.4)
448		- * New Added the 'Partially Booked' calendar legend item. Configure this feature on the Settings > General page in the "Calendar" section under the 'Show legend below calendar' option. (10.1.5.5)

	348	+ * Improvement: Added a two-column, two-step Time Slots booking template with live date, start-time, and end-time summary. It appears first in Form Builder when initially added, and clean installations use it for the starter Time Slots page; updates preserve existing forms, pages, and custom URLs.
	349	+ * Improvement: Added a two-step, one-time welcome flow on Booking Listing after a clean installation: start guided Setup, then test valid starter booking pages through full, uncropped previews. Clean installations now also receive a Resource Selection page for trying the resource-first workflow. The starter-pages window uses complete Booking Calendar branding and can be reopened manually from the welcome panel after automatic dismissal; updates never add these prompts, pages, the reopen action, or the initial Setup menu.
	350	+ * Improvement: Refined first-run administration presentation with consistent blue and green admin actions, responsive three-, two-, and one-column starter-page cards, and a live-demo welcome section that does not save shared dismissal state.

	352	+ * Fix: Corrected the starter-page window so every card displays its page title, description, and open-page button instead of template placeholders.
	353	+ * Fix: Ordered the top Booking Calendar menu links as Full day, Appointment, Time slots, Resource selection, and Contact booking forms, followed by the Home page; unavailable starter pages remain omitted.
	354	+ * Fix: Kept Appointment and Rental QuickStart notices out of Form Builder so they no longer cover or compete with the editing workspace.
	355	+ * Fix: On fresh template insertion, Full-Day / 2 Columns / Date Summary now appears before Full-Day / Vertical / Date Summary in the Full Days library while Time-Slots remains first overall. Existing template records are not reordered.
	356	+ * Fix: Restricted automatic page creation to the first installation of the edition that owns each page. Installing Personal can add its customer booking pages once, and installing Business Small or higher can add its payment result pages once; normal updates, reactivation, and downgrades preserve existing pages and content.
	357	+ * Improvement: Standardized page addresses created by newly eligible Free and paid installations under the readable `booking-calendar-` prefix. Existing page addresses and custom payment URLs remain unchanged, and updates do not recreate deleted pages.

	360	+- Changes in Business Small / Business Medium / Business Large / MultiUser versions:
	361	+ * Fix: Successful payment pages now include the booking confirmation, and all payment gateways use the generated success and failure page addresses when their original placeholders are unchanged. Custom gateway URLs remain untouched.
	362	+ * Fix: Restored administrator Cost correction on the full Add Booking page, dedicated Booking edit page, and Add Appointment page after the 11.8 booking-security update, while retaining the strengthened authorization checks.

(10.0.0.31) (Business Medium/Large, MultiUser)
498		- * Many improvements and fixes. Find more at [this page](https://wpbookingcalendar.com/changelog/)
	366	+ * New: Added the spacious Full-Day / Vertical / Date Summary Form Builder template with a wide two-month preview, live date summary, guest counts, and customer details. New installations use it as the Standard form; upgrades and existing forms remain unchanged.
	367	+ * Improvement: Choosing Full day during initial Setup now opens Form Builder with the new vertical full-day template selected. Published calendar month counts remain controlled by the booking block or shortcode.
	368	+ * New: Added the optional Full-Day / 2 Columns / Date Summary Form Builder template with a calendar, live Check-in, Check-out, and Days summary, customer details, and a bundled preview for full-day and changeover bookings. Applying it does not replace other existing forms.
	369	+ * Improvement: Refined the Classic, Appointments, and Rentals administration modes with edition-aware navigation, consistent Availability page names, easier access to Seasons, and safer page retention when switching modes. Existing bookings, resources, forms, settings, and supported integrations remain supported.
	370	+ * Improvement: Simplified initial Setup to five guided steps ending in Form Builder. The legacy floating Setup Bar is now disabled by default to prevent it from overlapping other administration pages.
	371	+ * Improvement: New installations now use the compact j M Y date format, such as 19 Oct 2026, when WordPress uses F j, Y. Existing saved Booking Calendar date formats are preserved.
	372	+ * Fix: Check-in, Check-out, and day-count hints now consistently show ... until dates are selected, including after the initial paid-edition calculation refresh.
	373	+ * Security: Hardened public booking creation so unauthorized requests cannot activate administrator-only CAPTCHA, approval, payment, email, or confirmation behavior, or switch signed Appointment and Resource Selector forms into another booking workflow. Visitor-facing database errors no longer reveal SQL queries, server paths, or submitted customer details.
	374	+ * Compatibility: After updating to 11.8, clear all page and CDN caches so public Booking Forms receive the new security context required for booking creation.
	375	+ * Compatibility: Booking creation, activation, and security-hash updates no longer depend on the optional database `MD5()` function, improving compatibility with MySQL 9.6 and newer.
	376	+- Changes in Business Medium / Business Large / MultiUser versions:
	377	+ * New: Added a redesigned Seasonal Availability catalog for managing each Resource's default availability and Season exceptions through a clear overview, a focused Resource inspector, and reviewed inline or bulk editing.
	378	+ * Improvement: Added twelve-month Seasonal Availability previews with clear Available and Unavailable states, unique matching-date counts, per-Season highlighting, authorized owner information, and direct links to edit the selected Season.
	379	+ * Compatibility: Existing Resource and Season settings are preserved. The Use legacy catalog pages option can temporarily restore the previous Seasonal Availability listing, and removing an exception from a Resource never deletes the Season itself.
	380	+ * Security: Seasonal Availability changes recheck the current user, ownership, site, Resource, Season, and saved settings before applying protected single or batch updates.
	381	+- Changes in Business Large / MultiUser versions:
	382	+ * New: Added the Searchable Resources Catalog with search-status filters, focused table views, compact rows, Cards, and reviewed editing for search visibility, result presentation, landing pages, and supported search criteria.
	383	+ * Improvement: Added direct navigation to Searchable Resources, Search Form Layout, Search Results Layout, and Search Options, with a separate MultiUser Settings section for authorized administrators.
	384	+ * Compatibility: Existing Search Availability settings, historical criteria, frontend result presentation, Resource ownership, and multisite configuration are preserved. The optional legacy catalog remains available.

(Business Medium/Large, MultiUser)
515		- * New New shortcode [total_cost] for displaying taxes or additional fees based on the total booking cost. This shortcode is used for displaying additional cost hints without affecting cost calculations. Since the total cost has already been calculated at this stage. For example, if you want to show the tax cost as 20% inclusive part of the total booking cost, set up your booking form fields like this: [checkbox tax_fee default:on ""] Tax: [tax_fee_hint]. Now, define the additional cost for tax_fee at WP Booking Calendar > Prices > Form Options Costs page: *tax_fee = ( [total_cost] 0.2 )** (Business Medium/Large, MultiUser) (9.9.0.32)
516		- * New Track Changes: Booking Edit Notification. Whenever a booking is edited, a note stating 'The booking has been edited' will be generated for the booking.
