  1. FrontEdit 1.3.0Latest

    • Changed public anchor-backed rich-text runs to expose semantic new-tab and no-follow booleans while keeping saved anchor attributes private to FrontEdit.
    • Declared button link new-tab and no-follow operation inputs as JSON booleans and unified native and public link rendering through the same schema-backed helper.
    • Fix stale link action bar when switching anchors.
    • Fixed list saves leaving selection listeners attached to the replaced editor, which caused errors when selecting text in other blocks.
    • Added a stable PHP API for secure integrations with FrontEdit’s editing, draft, rendering, and operation workflows.
    • Added public Icon Library discovery and validated icon-name staging for Icon blocks, including SVG previews for third-party integrations.
    • Fixed an issue where deleting a space between differently formatted words in a button block would create a second link inside the button’s link.

  2. FrontEdit 1.2.0

    • Overhauled the Public JavaScript API with handler-declared operation contracts that expose only the operations, inputs, formats, and allowed values supported by each editable block.
    • Replaced the separate public text, media, block-attribute, and structured-edit mutation APIs with the unified getEditOperationContract(), preflightOperations(), and applyOperations() workflow.
    • Added strict schema-backed preflight validation for public operations, including rejection of unsupported operations, unknown inputs, invalid values, and invalid rich-text or media payloads before changes are staged.
    • Added the mwpsfe/get-public-operation-contract Ability so authorized integrations can retrieve the same handler-derived operation contract server-side without exposing internal attributes, selectors, bindings, or executor details.
    • Added handler-derived current operation state for text, links, media, and block settings so integrations can preserve existing values without maintaining their own block-attribute mappings.
    • Improved rich-text operation state to preserve supported inline link URL, target, and rel values.
    • Added getListOperationContract() as the canonical definition of supported list operations and their required inputs, with list validation now derived from that contract.
    • Public operation batches now stage through FrontEdit’s shared editor executor and are recorded as a single undo-history step.
    • Fixed public operation batches being rejected when a valid operation was a no-op because the requested value already matched the current value.
    • Fixed table column alignment controls using stale shared alignment state instead of the active column’s actual alignment.
    • Removed justify as a text alignment option from the core/paragraph, core/heading, core/verse, and core/button block handlers.

  3. FrontEdit 1.1.5

    • Fixed API operations not reliably storing a history entry to undo in the editor.

  4. FrontEdit 1.1.2

    • Added WordPress 7.1 compatibility for Pullquote text alignment while retaining support for the legacy attribute format.
    • Updated Abilities API metadata for WordPress 7.1 compatibility.
    • Removed pagination parameters from core/icon media library.

  5. FrontEdit 1.1.0

    • Added support for eligible Gutenberg custom post types whose editable content is stored in standard WordPress post content.
    • Changed internal block UUID assignment to prepare only content that is opened or saved, avoiding automatic site-wide content scans.
    • Fixed transient Gutenberg default paragraphs being assigned UUIDs.

  6. FrontEdit 1.0.19

    • Replaced Base-only Pro preview screens with a practical Getting Started page and clarified the Gutenberg content and content-request boundaries.

  7. FrontEdit 1.0.18

    • Added batch editing, previously a Pro feature, to the Base plugin, with independent undo history for each block during an editing session.

  8. FrontEdit 1.0.15

    • Improved the schema-driven handler foundation with reusable optional-component placement and schema-declared heading/tag controls.
    • Added a shipped custom-handler schema reference with frontend serialization compatibility requirements.

  9. FrontEdit 1.0.10

    • Added support for WordPress Icon blocks.
    • Opens the live editor immediately while post-lock verification continues safely in the background.

  10. FrontEdit 1.0.05

    • Improved multi-element action-bar positioning for directly hovered nested and overlapping blocks.
    • Fixed action bar hover transfer across overlapping blocks.
    • Added authorized AI discovery for editable blocks and read-only block content, plus public live-page block enumeration for browser integrations.

  11. FrontEdit 1.0.02

    • Added Base previews for the Pro Content Requests and Content Catalog admin screens.
    • Added WordPress-native post locking for live editing, including an active-editor notice and optional takeover flow.

  12. FrontEdit 1.0.0

    • Initial public 1.0.0 release for the WordPress plugin repository.
