376 == Changelog ==
377
378 = 1.0.18 =
379 * IMPROVEMENT: Slim plugin download — the zipped plugin now weighs ~70 KB instead of 6.6 MB (a ~95× reduction). We stopped bundling the WordPress.org listing assets (banners, icons, screenshots) inside the plugin zip; those images still appear on the plugin page because they live at the plugin-directory level, but users no longer redundantly download them.
380 * CLEANUP: Removed the unused legacy `assets/js/script.js` file and its WordPress enqueue hook — the current admin view inlines its own small scripts directly. No user-visible change.
381
382 = 1.0.17 =
383 * NEW: Redesigned setup page with a clean, light-themed layout (warm off-white surface, brick-red brand accents, Manrope + Inter typography).
384 * NEW: Plugin-activated "All set" screen pairs each health check with a filled circular icon (verified_user / shopping_cart / link / code / security / cloud_done / api), a descriptive caption, and a coloured status pill.
385 * NEW: "Issues found" state re-themed to match — amber for warnings, red for failures, each with an expandable step-by-step fix panel.
386 * IMPROVEMENT: Icon rendering now uses the Font Loading API — ligature text stays hidden until the Material Symbols font is fully loaded, so users no longer see raw text like "check_circle" flashing before the glyph appears.
387 * IMPROVEMENT: Dropped the inline Tailwind CDN script, external Tailwind config, and ~300 KB of utility-class CSS. All styling moved to a tokenised vanilla stylesheet (assets/css/style.css) and cached via IMPORTIFY_VERSION.
388 * SECURITY: API requests to app.importify.net now verify TLS certificates (sslverify => true).
389 * SECURITY: All external links in the admin setup page now include rel="noopener noreferrer" to prevent tabnabbing.
390 * FIX: Primary CTA "Proceed to Importify Dashboard" button text is now rendered in white (was previously invisible on some WordPress admin themes due to an inherited anchor colour).
391 * FIX: Hero copy now includes an inline link on "start importing products" that mirrors the primary CTA destination.
392 * COMPAT: "Requires at least" bumped to WordPress 6.0 — the plugin uses modern WP APIs that are not reliably present in pre-6.0 installs.
393
394 = 1.0.16 =
395 * NEW: Find Products — browse and import trending products directly from the dashboard.
396 * NEW: AI Product Wizard — generate SEO-optimized titles, descriptions, tags, meta descriptions, and product type with one click.
397 * NEW: CSV Migration — import products from AutoDS, ALD, Syncee, Eprolo, Spocket.
398 * NEW: System diagnostics dashboard with 7 automated health checks on activation.
399 * NEW: Expanded firewall detection for 13+ security plugins (Wordfence, Sucuri, Jetpack, MalCare, etc.).
400 * NEW: Step-by-step fix guides with expandable panels for common setup issues.
401 * NEW: Video embed support in product descriptions.
402 * NEW: One-click translation to 20+ languages for product content.
403 * FIX: Duplicate class declaration on some WordPress configurations.
404 * FIX: LiteSpeed Cache compatibility.
405 * FIX: Request timeout handling improved (30s timeout for all API calls).
406 * FIX: Better error logging for diagnostics.
407 * FIX: Plugin activation error messages now show specific failure reasons.
408
409 = 1.0.14 =
410 * AI Product Optimizer with GPT openAI API support.
411 * Smart pricing rules with currency conversion.
412 * Variant management and splitting.
413 * Auto assign collections on import.
414
415 = 1.0.5 =
416 * Bug fixes.
417
418 = 1.0.1 =
419 * Update error message handling.
420 * Update account check action.
421
422 = 1.0.0 =
423 * Initial release.
