SansTerra Easy AI Chatbot

1.9.0

• New: Stop an ongoing chat conversation or block a visitor’s IP address — from the chat notification email (one-click, login-free, with a confirmation page so link scanners can’t trigger it) or directly from the Conversations admin list.
• The Conversations list now shows “Stopped” / “IP blocked” status flags and Stop/Restart and Block IP/Unblock IP buttons on each row, with the visitor IP shown per row.
• Blocked sessions and IP addresses are rejected before the chatbot service is contacted, so silenced traffic uses no message quota; an IP block also stops a visitor who starts a new chat session.
• The visitor IP recorded for a conversation is now kept up to date so the admin and email blocks always act on the same address.

1.8.4

• Fixed Danger Zone “Replace API Key” field colliding with the Get Started request field — both used the same POST name, so the empty Danger Zone value wiped a freshly requested key on save. Renamed the Danger Zone input and added defensive preservation of the existing key in the save handler.

1.8.2

• Move API key to settings tab

1.8.1

• Fixed “Export All Conversations” silently failing (wrong object method called)
• Added CSV export option alongside JSON for both bulk and per-conversation exports
• Mobile widget: hide detach and dock buttons on small screens (already fullscreen)
• Pass conversation notification email through to chatbot metadata payload

1.8.0

• Simplified content source handling to a single configurable slot
• Hardened public REST search endpoints — private post meta keys (those starting with an underscore) are stripped at both save-time and search-time so they cannot be exposed by misconfiguration
• Removed extension hooks that had no in-tree consumers
• Removed admin notice and tip-jar plan-conditional checks; tip jar is now shown to all users
• Renamed internal usage-tracking storage from a ‘subscription’ option key to a ‘usage’ key (one-time silent migration runs on first load)

• Added rel=”noopener noreferrer” to all external links
• Archived old release bundles
