\n\t\t\n\t\t - Update offers now appear even when the site cannot reach WordPress.org.
\n\t\t
\n\n\t\t1.2.1 — 18 October 2026
\n\t\t\n\t\t - Background auto-updates now work (WP-cron, WP-CLI and Easy Updates Manager), plus updater robustness fixes.
\n\t\t
\n\n\t\t1.2.0 — 15 June 2026
\n\t\t\n\t\t - \ud83d\udd12 SECURITY (stored XSS): The Tools → Slug Gate scanner now HTML-encodes post titles, slugs and types before rendering results, and outputs edit links via esc_url(). Previously a user able to set a post title could run script in an administrator's browser when the scanner was opened. Update is strongly recommended.
\n\t\t
\n\n\t\t1.1.8 — 10 August 2025

\n\t\t - \ud83d\udcca CLEAR LANGUAGE: \"2 duplicates\" instead of \"ℹ️ Organization\" - professional, understandable text
\n\t\t - \ud83d\udd0d BASE ENTITY DETECTION: Automatically detects missing base posts vs simple duplicates
\n\t\t - ⚠️ SEVERITY CLASSIFICATION: Minor (green) for duplicates, Major (yellow) for orphaned duplicates
\n\t\t - \ud83d\udeab NO MORE EMOJIS: Removed unprofessional emoji usage from conflict classification
\n\t\t - \ud83d\udca1 HELPFUL CONTEXT: \"(no base)\" explains why orphaned duplicates are problematic

\n\t\t - \ud83c\udfaf ENHANCED TOOLS: Completely redesigned scanner with Base Status, Issue Type classification, and visual indicators
\n\t\t - ✅❌ BASE ENTITY TRACKING: Clear distinction between missing base entities vs complete conflict sets
\n\t\t - \ud83c\udff7️ ISSUE CLASSIFICATION: Critical (\ud83d\udea8), Complete Set (⚠️), Orphaned Dupes (\ud83d\udd04), Organization (ℹ️)
\n\t\t - \ud83c\udfa8 VISUAL CLARITY: Color-coded rows and status indicators for instant issue comprehension
\n\t\t - ⚙️ NEW SETTING: \"Ignore Year Suffixes\" to prevent false positives on year-based content
