CurrencyRate.Today – Currency Blocks and Widgets

1.0.5

• Verified compatibility with WordPress 7.0, including upgrade-path rehearsal from the public 1.0.4 release
• Fixed TypeScript configuration gaps uncovered during WordPress 7 compatibility validation
• Hardened the Rate Card frontend observer code so builds and runtime checks pass cleanly on the WordPress 7 test matrix

1.0.4

• Removed layered frontend CSS so plugin block styles are no longer demoted below hostile unlayered theme resets
• Hardened shared block styling against aggressive theme rules for lists, details/summary, fieldsets, and form controls
• Fixed Currency Converter CSS structure regression introduced during theme-hardening work
• Removed translucent block surface backgrounds so cards, dialogs, ticker, and converter surfaces render opaque by default
• Fixed seamless Transparent mode so Light/Dark/Auto theme selection stays available and the chosen theme is preserved for remaining text and UI colors

1.0.3

• Exchange Rates block: rate lookup keys normalised to uppercase — fixes missing rows when an API source returns lowercase currency codes
• Editor amount input: European number format (e.g. 1.234,56) now parsed correctly instead of being truncated
• Editor amount input: multiple commas (e.g. 1,234,567) treated as thousand separators instead of decimal
• CTA links include rel=”noopener noreferrer” for safer external navigation
• Currency Converter: added DOM guard — throws a descriptive error instead of a silent null-reference crash when markup is incomplete
• Currency name cache is now locale-aware, preventing stale translations on multilingual sites (WPML, Polylang)

1.0.2

• Accessibility audit (WCAG 2.1/2.2 Level AA) — full checklist, findings report, and remediation backlog
• Currency Converter announces results to screen readers via aria-live region with debounced updates
• Exchange Rate Card chart tabs follow WAI-ARIA Tabs pattern with keyboard arrow navigation
• Chart loading state announced to assistive technology through live region
• Sparkline SVG elements include role=”img” and aria-label for screen readers
• Focus indicators remain visible in Windows High Contrast Mode (transparent outline fallback)
• Screen-reader-only utility class (.crtoday-sr-only) added to shared styles
• Local Storage: currency codes validated against ISO 4217 pattern and normalised to uppercase
• Local Storage: duplicate recent-currency entries eliminated via Set-based deduplication
• Local Sources refresh button no longer causes a full page reload (uses AJAX)
• Frontend chart and loading labels are now translatable via i18n instead of hardcoded English
