202610 releases

  1. Video Player for YouTube 2.1.4Latest

    • Security: Moved the preset-read authorization check to the AJAX dispatcher so every action on the preset data model (including get/getPreset) requires administrator access, not just the previously-covered methods.

  2. Video Player for YouTube 2.1.3

    • Security: Fixed broken access control in the legacy data import AJAX action — removed unauthenticated access and added nonce verification and an administrator capability check.

  3. Video Player for YouTube 2.1.2

    • Security: Added a missing capability check to the preset read endpoint so only administrators can retrieve saved preset configurations, matching the create/delete actions.

  4. Video Player for YouTube 2.1.1

    • Security: Hardened player data attributes, shortcode parameters, and AJAX endpoints against XSS with enhanced sanitization and escaping.
    • Fix: Aligned Gutenberg Preset modal controls with Admin Settings — locked Pro controls (Restart, Rewind, Fast Forward, Play Large) in Free mode and displayed upgrade notices.
    • Fix: Cleaned up default player control schema to exclude Pro controls by default on Free player instances.
    • Fix: Resolved hideYoutubeUI boolean evaluation ("false" / "0" string handling) to prevent accidental YouTube UI hiding and iframe cropping.
    • Fix: Enforced strict server-side and client-side Pro feature filtering across player preview, block editor, shortcode, and frontend rendering.
    • Fix: Separated preset overlay background color priority from global admin brand color for accurate custom background rendering.
    • Update: Enhanced dynamic license status checking to seamlessly unlock Pro controls upon activation without requiring page reloads.
    • UI/UX: Reorganized Block Editor inspector sidebar panel titles with intuitive naming (“Basic Settings”, “Player Controls”, “Preset Controls”).
    • UI/UX: Standardized PRO badge styling and feature notice card layouts across settings panels and preset modals.
    • Maintenance: Cleaned up default preset schemas and removed deprecated source files.
