# Changelog

= 0.2.1 – September 26, 2026 =
* Changed: The Free vs Pro page shows lifetime licenses, with prices kept in sync with the SlideVerse store.
* Changed: Upgrade buttons open the SlideVerse pricing page with the launch coupon.
* Changed: "Get support" in the dashboard opens the WordPress.org support forum.
* Fix: The "Save" amount on the pricing cards no longer rounds down by a dollar.
* Fix: The account page download button reads "Download Premium Version" instead of the plan name.

= 0.2.0 – September 26, 2026 =
* New: SlideVerse dashboard — see which slider blocks your site uses, switch individual blocks off (they leave the inserter; existing sliders keep rendering), and check system information.
* New: SlideVerse Pro add-on support. Pro options appear in the block settings marked "Pro" and unlock when SlideVerse Pro is active.
* New: Base Slider slide manager — collapsible slides with thumbnails, drag-and-drop reordering, duplicate, move and delete, a large background image picker, button links that search your pages and posts, and "Select Images" to create one slide per image.
* New: The Base Slider editor preview jumps to the slide you are editing and holds autoplay on it.
* Changed: 3D and creative transitions (coverflow, cube, flip, cards, creative), the image lightbox, popup video playback, fraction and progress-bar pagination, the scrollbar and vertical Before & After comparisons are now part of SlideVerse Pro. Without Pro, sliders that use them keep working with the free equivalents: slide transition, bullet pagination, inline video and a horizontal comparison.
* Changed: The plugin is now named "SlideVerse – Slider, Carousel & Image Slider Blocks".
* Changed: Requires WordPress 6.5 or newer.
* Improvement: Editor previews match the frontend on desktop, tablet and mobile, and every slider uses the same defaults in the editor and on the site.
* Improvement: Deleting the plugin removes its settings and cached data.
* Performance: Swiper ships with the plugin and loads only on pages that contain a slider — nothing is loaded from a CDN, and pages without sliders load no SlideVerse files.
* Performance: Smaller editor scripts.
* Accessibility: Autoplay pauses while a visitor hovers over or focuses a slider, and stays off for visitors who prefer reduced motion.
* Accessibility: Logo Carousel images use the media title when they have no alt text.
* Security: Block style settings are sanitized before they are printed as CSS, and custom CSS is only output for authors allowed to post unfiltered HTML.
* Security: The Post Slider only queries public post types and validates its query settings.
* Fix: An empty Logo Carousel no longer stops other sliders on the page from starting.
* Fix: Empty sliders no longer leave arrows or blank space on the page.
* Fix: Post Slider pagination dots now show when pagination is on.
* Fix: Hovering a block in the inserter shows its description instead of a blank preview, and the Logo Carousel placeholder shows its name.

= 0.1.0 – August 26, 2026 =
* New: Base Slider block — hero slides with a pre-built title, subtitle, description and button over a background image, with a colour overlay, horizontal and vertical content alignment, and responsive slide height.
* New: Image Slider block — image carousel with an opt-in lightbox gallery, captions shown below the image or as a hover overlay, hover tooltips, and per-image links with an open-in-new-tab option.
* New: Flexi Content Slider block — build each slide from any Gutenberg blocks, with Auto, Fixed and Minimum slide height modes.
* Improvement: The new blocks drive Swiper breakpoints from their responsive slides-per-view and spacing settings, so the tablet and mobile layouts match the generated CSS.
* Improvement: Tested against WordPress 7.1.

= 0.0.10 – June 25, 2026 =
* New: Grab/swipe (drag) support for the Infinite Slider, with GSAP-style inertia/throw momentum that eases back into the auto-scroll.
* New: Grab/swipe toggle for the Logo Carousel.
* New: Image lightbox/gallery (click to enlarge, prev/next, keyboard, Esc) for the Infinite Slider, Logo Carousel, Post Slider, and Testimonial Slider — all opt-in via a toggle.
