20262 releases

  1. Debug 1.14Latest

    • New: full translation support — added languages/debug.pot and load_plugin_textdomain() (fixes Plugin Check missing-translation warning).
    • New: “Send Test Notification” button on the settings page — verify your email alert setup works before relying on it in production.
    • New: error-log viewer auto-refresh toggle (every 5s) for watching logs live.
    • Improved: error handler now registers on plugins_loaded for earlier, wider coverage (catches theme/plugin load-time errors).
    • Improved: wp-config backups are now auto-pruned (keeps the latest 10) so the site root never fills up, and a delete action lets you remove backups individually.
    • Cleanup: removed the last inline script (post-save auto-reload) — the page no longer force-refreshes and wipes admin notices, and the plugin is now 100% CSP-friendly.
    • Fix: wp-config define() editing now tolerates multiline/annotated defines (no more accidental duplicates).
    • Cleanup: README.md is now excluded from the WordPress.org SVN deploy (Plugin Check flagged it as root clutter).
    • Compatibility: tested up to WordPress 7.1.

  2. Debug 1.13

    • Security: removed the ability to download wp-config.php (full credential leak). Debug log download now only serves the log via a clean admin-post.php endpoint.
    • Security: added strict path allowlisting + traversal guards to all file reads/writes.
    • Security: automatic timestamped wp-config.php backup before every save + one-click restore UI.
    • Security: error handler now only registers when email notifications are on, filters out deprecation/notice noise, respects error_reporting(), throttles and queues emails, and chains the previous handler.
    • Fix: broken Settings link href (missing closing quote) on the plugin list page.
    • Fix: esc_html_e() misuse replaced with correct escaping.
    • Fix: tolerant, case/format-insensitive regex in debug_add_option — no more duplicate define() creation.
    • Fix: nonce action strings standardized + consistent failure notices.
    • Fix: read tail capped to 1 MB.
    • Improvements: enqueued CSS instead of inline <style> (CSP-friendly), modernized baseline (PHP 7.4+, WP 5.0+), uninstall.php cleanup.
