  1. Recently Viewed Products for WooCommerce 2.3.0Latest

    • New: Carousel layout with autoplay, arrows, pagination dots, loop, and responsive items-per-view (dependency-free).
    • New: Sidebar widget (classic + block widget areas).
    • New: Gutenberg block with live server-side preview.
    • New: Elementor widget (loads only when Elementor is active).
    • New: Sorting — recently viewed, most viewed, price, newest, or random.
    • New: “Most viewed” store-wide popularity source, with a cached top-N query.
    • New: Optional database-backed history for signed-in customers (cross-device), merged from the guest cookie at login, with daily pruning.
    • New: Smart filters — in-stock only, exclude already-purchased, hide free products, exclude categories.
    • New: Analytics screen with most-viewed products and an orders proxy (from WooCommerce Analytics when available).
    • New: Optional follow-up emails to inactive customers with their viewed products and a single-use coupon, plus one-click unsubscribe (Action Scheduler when available, WP-Cron fallback).
    • New: Dedicated “Recently Viewed” page created on activation, and a custom CSS box.
    • Improved: All display surfaces (shortcode, placement, widget, block, Elementor) now share one renderer/provider, so output and behaviour are always consistent.
    • Compatibility: Custom tables are created via dbDelta with a versioned migration; no order data is touched (HPOS-safe).
    • Backward compatible: all existing settings, the shortcode, the cookie format, and placement hooks are unchanged; every new setting defaults to the previous behaviour.

  2. Recently Viewed Products for WooCommerce 2.2.0

    • Fixed: saving one settings tab no longer resets the other tabs to defaults (all settings now submit together).
    • Fixed: responsive column settings are now respected for automatic product-page placement (output is no longer re-filtered, which could strip the layout CSS variables).
    • Fixed: the product count is now resolved before the display limit is applied, so hidden or removed products no longer shrink the visible list.
    • Fixed: the empty-state message is no longer printed on product pages when a visitor has no history (shortcode behaviour unchanged).
    • Added: List layout option alongside Grid.
    • Added: support for multiple space-separated custom CSS classes.
    • Added: “Requires Plugins: woocommerce” header and WooCommerce version headers.
    • Improved: redesigned, accessible (WCAG) admin UI with single-page tabbed settings, toggle switches, help text, status sidebar, and a sticky save bar.
    • Improved: shortcode copy now uses the modern Clipboard API with a live shortcode preview.
    • Improved: front-end stylesheet is enqueued in the head for placed output to prevent a flash of unstyled content.
    • Improved: centralized default/settings handling to a single source of truth.
    • Fixed: removed UTF-8 byte order marks and normalized line endings in core files (a BOM before the opening PHP tag can cause “headers already sent” warnings on some servers).
    • Verified: passes the WordPress Plugin Check PHPCS rulesets (plugin-check and plugin-review) with zero errors.
    • Docs: added Privacy & Cookies and Frequently Asked Questions sections to the readme.
