= 1.9.0 - 2026-08-29 =

* New: Floating share bar. A rail down the side of the page on desktop that becomes a bar along the bottom on mobile, with show-on-scroll, breakpoints, alignment and offsets, and a per-post opt-out. **[PRO]**
* New: Highlight Share. Share buttons appear over any text a reader selects, confined to the post content so a selection in a menu or a comment does not trigger them. **[PRO]**
* New: Click to Post. `[social_linkz_post tweet="..."]` renders a pull quote that shares itself, in three themes with an accent colour. The character budget is measured against what X actually counts, and a quote that has to be shortened is cut on a word boundary. **[PRO]**
* New: Per-post settings. Override the share title and image, or switch off the inline buttons, the floating bar or highlight sharing, for a single post. **[PRO]**
* New: Accounts settings for the X and Mastodon handles, the Facebook app ID and the Subscribe link. The share links have always read these, but nothing ever wrote them, so `via=`, Messenger and the Subscribe button were silently never configured.
* New: `[social_linkz]` shortcode. The "Don't Add To Content (Shortcode)" button position has always named a shortcode that was never registered, so choosing it switched the buttons off with no way to put them back.
* New: Social Linkz screens carry their own footer, with the plugin name, version, the KaizenCoders signature and quick links, in place of the WordPress credit line and the core version nag. WordPress's own footer is left untouched everywhere else.
* New: Campaign-driven upgrade banner for free users. One offer at a time, shown only once share buttons are actually switched on and the plugin has been installed long enough to have been useful, and dismissible per campaign per user.
* Update: Other Products has moved out of Tools to a menu item of its own. Plugin names, icons and descriptions now come from WordPress.org rather than a hardcoded list, and Install, Activate and Deactivate happen on the screen instead of sending you to the plugin installer.
* Update: Removed the Tools screen. Other Products was the only thing on it, and it was reachable by any subscriber.
* Security: The notice dismissal handler now requires `manage_options`, a valid nonce and a known notice name. It previously wrote an option named from the URL on any logged-in request.
* Security: Settings are sanitized per field type when saved, so a stored colour can no longer smuggle CSS onto the front end.
* Security: Escaped the share button markup, the inline styles and the settings screen output throughout.
* Security: Added a capability check to the database update handler, which verified a nonce but never asked whether the user was allowed to run an update.
* Fix: The Other Products buttons never worked. The markup wrapped each card in a link to a plugin search and closed a `<button>` outside the branch that opened it.
* Fix: A column layout combined with a custom button margin divided by zero, which is a fatal error on PHP 8.
* Fix: Share buttons no longer warn when a saved network is no longer available, which happened whenever a PRO licence lapsed.
* Fix: A settings field declaring a tooltip called a helper that did not exist, taking the whole settings screen down with it.
* Fix: `Helper::clean()` on an array called a function that does not exist, so cleaning an array was a fatal rather than a recursion.
