Abstract Box

2.2.9

• Added: Bullet Dots colour setting — independently configures the bullet and ol marker colour, falling back to Accent Colour if not set.
• Added: Bulletin Stripe colour setting — independently configures the Bulletin style border and stripe colour, falling back to Accent Colour if not set.
• Both settings appear in the Colours card on the Appearance tab and update the live preview immediately.

2.2.8

• Added: Bulletin box style (Style 8) — full accent-colour border with diagonal hazard-stripe on right and bottom edges via CSS repeating-linear-gradient.
• Added: Bulletin available in shortcode (style=”bulletin”), Gutenberg block inspector, and admin visual selector (8 columns).
• Added: block-editor.css — list bullet and marker styles now render correctly inside the Gutenberg editor, matching frontend output.
• Added: style attribute in Gutenberg block — per-block style override in the inspector, separate from the global setting.
• Added: style attribute in shortcode — any style can now be set per-instance (e.g. style=”bulletin”), overriding the global setting.
• Changed: allowedBlocks on InnerBlocks restricted to paragraph, list, heading, quote, separator.

2.2.7

• Added: List styles inside box content — ul items use accent-coloured circular bullets, ol items use accent-coloured decimal markers. Nested lists supported. Theme CSS resets no longer affect list rendering.

2.2.6

• Changed: css/ and js/ moved to assets/css/ and assets/js/.
• Changed: inc/ renamed to includes/ (WordPress Core convention).
• Changed: views/ moved to includes/views/ (internal templates belong with internal code).
• Changed: All path references updated throughout the plugin.
• Added: upgrading.md — per-version upgrade notes and feature roadmap.

2.2.5

• Fixed: Preview panel now appears on the Appearance tab only; was incorrectly shown on Schema and Advanced tabs.

2.2.4

• Changed: Colours section — five individual picker cards replaced with one compact card; each picker is a label + swatch row.
• Changed: Typography & Shape — Border Radius and Font Family combined into one compact two-row card.

2.2.3

• Fixed: Live preview was static (server-rendered from saved settings only). Now updates immediately on every change — Box Style, colours, font, border radius, and presets — without saving.
• Fixed: Preview element now uses real .abstract-box CSS classes and CSS custom properties, identical to frontend output.
• Changed: Frontend stylesheet enqueued on admin settings page; font stacks passed to JS via wp_localize_script.

2.2.2

• Changed: Hover effects redesigned — each style now has a character-appropriate effect rather than a generic lift.
• Modern: deeper lift + gradient brightens. Academic: border solidifies to accent + faint tint. Minimal: upward glow from accent line. Card: lift + scale + deep shadow. Ruled: nudge right + left bar grows (no layout shift). Editorial: border activates to accent + ring. Summary: background brightens + tinted glow.
• Changed: Base transition expanded to cover border-color, background-color, and filter.

2.2.1

• Added: Editorial style — solid full border, flat white background, no shadow (news pull-quote aesthetic).
• Added: Summary style — soft tinted background, no border, generous rounded corners (AI summary aesthetic).
• Changed: Admin visual selector expanded to all 7 styles with CSS mini-previews in a responsive 7-column grid.
• Fixed: Font family allowlist omitted Humanist, Monospace, and Slab — selecting them silently fell back to Sans-Serif.

2.2.0

• Added: Five box styles — Modern, Academic, Minimal, Card, Ruled.
• Added: Eight colour presets — Default, Dark, Sepia, Ocean, Forest, Rose, Midnight, Sand. Each preset also sets the recommended Box Style.
• Added: CSS mini-preview thumbnails on each box style selector card.
• Changed: Style options renamed Default/Custom → Modern/Academic; all styles consolidated into one CSS file.

2.1.9

• Changed: Getting Started and Box Style Reference moved from Usage tab to Appearance tab.
• Changed: CSS Class Reference moved from Usage tab to Advanced tab.
• Changed: Usage tab now contains only shortcode and block editor reference; copy trimmed throughout.

2.1.8

• Changed: Full admin UI rewrite for design_system v1.0.0 — all CSS scoped to plugin wrapper, 97 CSS custom properties, no :root declarations, no !important.
• Changed: Settings rendered as card-based divs; form-table / do_settings_sections() removed.
• Changed: Booleans now use CSS toggle switches; Box Style uses a visual card selector.
• Fixed: SVG tab icons now sanitised via wp_kses() instead of echoed raw.
• Added: Footer credit with GitHub link on all settings tabs.

2.1.7

• Changed: Admin UI redesigned — gradient header banner, card-based layout, SVG tab icons, gradient Save button, responsive layout. Matches MENJ plugin suite design language.

2.1.6

• Fixed: Gutenberg block rewritten to use InnerBlocks — correct pattern for dynamic blocks. Eliminates “Invalid parameter: attributes” REST API error.
• Fixed: save() now returns InnerBlocks.Content; content attribute removed from schema.

2.1.5

• Fixed: “Invalid parameter: attributes” block error — full attribute schema declared in register_block_type(). ServerSideRender no longer receives the content attribute.

2.1.4

• Changed: Font Family selector expanded from 3 to 6 options — Sans-Serif, Serif, Humanist Sans, Monospace, Slab Serif, System Default.

2.1.3

• Added: Usage tab with shortcode reference, block editor guide, copyable examples, style comparison, and CSS class reference.
• Security: JSON-LD output hardened against script-tag injection. Shortcode content passed through wp_kses_post(). Title tag escaped with tag_escape().
• Performance: Block editor script moved to footer.

2.1.2

• Changed: Line endings normalised to LF. get_defaults() memoized. resolve_style() helper extracted. render_preview() redundant re-validation removed.
• Fixed: Gutenberg block now exposes all 8 shortcode attributes (title_tag, bg_color_end, title_color, accent_color were previously silently ignored).

2.1.1

• Fixed: PHP 8 TypeError in Shortcode::render() — $content default changed from null to empty string.
• Fixed: Tab navigation nonce removed; $_GET[‘tab’] validated against known slugs only.
• Fixed: enqueue_frontend() moved to wp_enqueue_scripts hook (was called after wp_head had fired).
• Fixed: Plugin URI and Author URI updated to public GitHub URLs (WordPress.org requirement).
• Fixed: Inline CSS validate-not-escape pattern; JSON-LD unescaped flags removed; double-encoding in render_preview() fixed.

2.1.0

• Added: Conditional asset loading — frontend CSS only loads on pages using the shortcode.
• Added: MVC directory structure (views/, inc/frontend/, inc/admin/).
• Added: WCAG contrast checker in admin settings. Per-instance colour overrides via shortcode attributes. Settings link in plugins table. Native Gutenberg block with SSR. Four colour presets.
• Changed: Full OOP rewrite with MenjAbstractBox namespace. Configurable title_tag. BEM class naming. Settings migrated from theme_mod to get_option().

2.0.4

• Fixed: Nonce verification added to admin tab navigation (Plugin Check compliance).

2.0.3

• Fixed: phpcs:ignore annotation and wp_unslash() added to $_GET[‘tab’] read.

2.0.2

2.0.1

• Fixed: All dynamic output in admin preview properly escaped.

2.0.0

• Complete plugin restructure with OOP architecture, asset separation (css/, js/, inc/), tabbed settings page, five colour pickers with CSS custom properties, font family selector, border radius, schema type, hover toggle, Customizer live preview, and uninstall cleanup.

1.1
