Bugfix: Locking out an IP address no longer clears all other active lockouts.
Bugfix: Remote API list synchronisation now runs as intended (the previous check never triggered a sync); local block-/allowlist entries are no longer lost when merging with remote lists.
Bugfix: Remote API calls now use the correct endpoint paths, so block, allow, release and list operations work against a paired site.
Bugfix: Lockout times in the settings list and WP-CLI output now use the site’s configured time zone instead of always showing UTC.
Bugfix: Corrected the swapped “your IP has (not) changed” message on the allowlist screen.
Bugfix: Reverse-proxy (“client type”) handling now works as configured, and falls back to the direct connection address when no valid forwarded address is present.
Bugfix: Hardened against division-by-zero and undefined-value notices when retry/notification thresholds are set to 0 or no attempts have been recorded yet.
Bugfix: Activation and uninstall routines are now registered against the main plugin file so they run reliably.
Improvement: The settings override filters now work as documented.
Improvement: Removed an unnecessary PHP session start on every authentication and a redundant database write on every admin page load.
Improvement: Added Text Domain and Domain Path plugin headers and a translation template.
Development: Codebase migrated to new Coding Standard.
