2.1.0

Admin UI modernization with a more coherent design language aligned with native WordPress admin patterns.

• Grid-based layout for form field editor and live preview
• Tab navigation on the settings page with ARIA-compliant accessible tabs
• Native WordPress postbox structure for all settings sections
• Messages tab: 2×2 grid layout, accessible radio buttons with fieldset/label, TinyMCE font selector with 10 email-safe fonts
• Default font changed from Lucida Sans to Arial for new forms
• Merged dashboard.css into admin.css, removed dead CSS selectors
• Bugfix: broken CSS selectors caused by panel ID renaming
• Bugfix: Messages, Data Retention, and Tokens panels not properly contained within the tab system

2.0.0

Major rewrite focused on accessibility, modern admin UI, and GDPR compliance. All existing forms continue to work without changes.

Important: CSS changes (35 removed !important declarations) may affect frontend layouts customized via theme CSS. Use Contact Forms > Theme Helper to identify conflicts. Where possible, use the plugin’s Appearance tab instead of theme CSS overrides.
