Changelog

A running log of user-facing changes in each SyteOps release. Only features, improvements, and fixes that affect the admin experience are listed here.

v1.3.040​

  • Fixed: The Show button on the Management Server Secret now reveals the actual token instead of encrypted:sodium:… text
  • Fixed: Request Connection from an endpoint now succeeds — the token sent to the Management Server is the real secret, so authentication passes
  • Fixed: Plugin updates from the GitHub source now work after a fresh endpoint connection — the GitHub token is no longer scrambled when the Management Server returns it to the endpoint
  • Fixed: Re-pasting a secret that was previously revealed (and copied) no longer corrupts the stored value
  • Fixed: A stale "connection failed" notice no longer persists after a successful retry
  • Improved: The "unauthorized domain" message from the Management Server is now clean — no debug-flavored tail in the toast

v1.3.039​

  • Added: Row-based add/remove controls for the REST API custom allowlist — each saved endpoint is its own row with a small × remove button, plus a separate input + Add button that appends one path at a time
  • Added: Built-in rule collision check on the custom allowlist — paths already covered by a built-in rule are rejected with a clear message so you don't end up with redundant entries
  • Added: Integration tier system — every integration card now shows a discreet Basic, Extended, or AI-Powered badge so you can tell at a glance how involved each integration is
  • Added: Dedicated documentation pages for AWS SES, Fluent Forms, WooCommerce, Wordfence, and Google Site Kit integrations
  • Added: Dedicated documentation page for the Banners module
  • Changed: Notice Management unified into a single notice-suppression flow — paste a notice, capture the last one, or pick from visible notices on the page
  • Changed: Wordfence REST allowlist widened to the full v1 namespace so all Wordfence endpoints work under REST API Restriction (not just /authenticate)
  • Removed: Monday integration and its documentation
  • Improved: Custom allowlist changes save immediately — no longer coupled to the Save Access Control button
  • Improved: Variable Sets documentation rewritten in plain language — leads with a clear introduction before introducing technical terms
  • Improved: Documentation jargon cleanup across the overview, FlowMattic, and troubleshooting pages for easier reading
  • Improved: Documentation sidebar now includes every integration and feature page for complete navigation
  • Fixed: Notice Management no longer blanket-hides every SyteOps toast when suppressions exist — only the toasts you actually target
  • Fixed: WordPress "Dismiss this notice" button text is stripped before notice messages are captured in the picker or matched at render time
  • Fixed: LinkCentral AI label padding and a toast relay regression

v1.3.038​

  • Changed: Straico AI provider migrated to v2 OpenAI-compatible API with standard chat and models endpoints
  • Removed: Straico-specific prompt size limits and context caps in keyword enrichment; all providers now use uniform limits

  • Improved: AI model logging unified across all providers; balance display strings localized

v1.3.035​

  • Changed: Keyword enrichment prefers AI web search context over page metadata when the two disagree, and context mismatch no longer forces a flagged quality state by itself
  • Added: Flagged-links review for enrichment results that need attention, with admin UI aligned to existing card styling
  • Added: Per-link model and max-tokens overrides (including OpenRouter model-limit hints and a quick “max tokens” action)
  • Added: Option to include manual keywords when re-running enrichment; clearer Keyword vs Context AI labeling in the admin
  • Improved: AI timeouts, provider-specific limits, and enrichment retries tuned to reduce spurious failures; better handling of HTML and edge-case page fetches during enrichment
  • Improved: Product License gateway validate-by-key refresh behavior and related diagnostics; licensing integration packages updated
  • Fixed: Checkbox accent styling so check marks stay visible with themed controls

v1.3.034​

  • Fixed: Re-activating a previously activated site no longer returns an error; the gateway recovers gracefully and confirms active status

  • Improved: Gateway responses include consistent license identifier fields and explicit success signals for reliable client-side detection

v1.3.033​
