Dirigible Documentation changelog

0.0.75 2026-10-24

Changed

• Sites with a documentation hub page load the hub's address from a saved setting instead of looking the page up on every page view: one database query fewer per uncached page and wp-admin screen. Hub links and filter addresses stay the same. Renaming, moving or trashing the hub page (or a page above it) updates them on the next page load, as before.

0.0.74 2026-10-24

Changed

• Internal: the doc editor's page parts (Edit buttons, modals, the Body editor) now come from the Dirigible theme, shared with other plugins. Nothing changes in the editor or on pages; with an older theme the plugin's own copy is used.

0.0.73 2026-10-23

Fixed

• Product Downloads with Source set to Documentation site: a product or brand just added on the documentation site now shows in the block's Product and Brand lists within a minute, instead of up to an hour later. Pages still refresh their lists hourly, and if the documentation site can't be reached the lists keep the last ones loaded.

0.0.72 2026-10-23

Added

• Docs have a Featured image in the editor's sidebar. When a doc's page is shared, link previews use it (Dirigible SEO), and a Hero block set to the featured image shows it. Doc pages and the documentation hub don't show it.

0.0.71 2026-10-23

Changed

• Internal: the blocks' sidebars and settings previews use the Dirigible theme's shared field editor instead of the plugin's own copy, so the editor script is smaller. They show and save exactly as before. Needs the next Dirigible theme release (it ships first).
• Block sidebars and the doc pop-ups: term lists scroll after about twelve rows, checked terms are saved in the list's order, a long Allowed Users list scrolls, and block previews can't be clicked into by accident. Needs the next Dirigible theme release.

0.0.70 2026-10-22

Changed

• Docs now open in the block editor (they used the classic editor). The editor shows the doc as its page looks: the title card with its types and excerpt beside the file, video and body. Hover a part and click Edit to change it in a window, or use the new Doc panel in the sidebar. Existing docs open and save without changes to their pages, and AI: Fill from File still fills the Body and excerpt.
• Documentation no longer needs ACF. Docs' File, YouTube Video, Redirect file to this page, Access, Allowed Users and Body, Doc Products' Product Link, Doc Brands' Brand Color, and the Product Downloads and Documentation Explorer blocks work the same with ACF active, inactive or uninstalled, keeping every saved setting: nothing to convert or set again.
• The Product Downloads and Documentation Explorer sidebars use standard WordPress controls (dropdowns, toggles, sliders and checkbox lists) in place of ACF's fields. Product Link and Brand Color on the term screens are a dropdown and WordPress's color picker.
• A doc set to Selected users won't save until at least one person is chosen under Allowed Users (as before, now with a message saying so).

0.0.69 2026-10-22

Changed

• Settings moved to Documentation → Settings. Documentation Base Page, Documentation Site and the Gating settings now have their own page under the Documentation menu instead of Appearance → Customize. Values carry over, and old Customizer links open the new page. Needs Dirigible theme 5.31.211 or later; on an older theme they stay in the Customizer.
• The Gating settings only show once Enable Gating is on, and Bypass Text once Enable Gate Bypass is on.

Fixed

• The Subheadline setting was labelled "Subeadline".

0.0.68 2026-10-22

Changed

• Documentation → Import & Export rebuilds the file redirect rules and clears the site cache once per batch of an import, not once per document, so a large import no longer clears the cache hundreds of times (needs the latest Dirigible theme).

0.0.67 2026-10-21

Fixed

• Docs no longer 404 after the plugin is activated or updated. Permalinks were refreshed only when the hub page changed, so a site that activated (or reactivated) the plugin, or updated it, could serve every doc as "not found" until someone saved Permalinks. The rules now refresh once, on the first page load after activation or an update.

0.0.66 2026-10-21

Changed

• Import & Export: a doc's File uses the theme's same-site media field (a file already in the Media Library, by its address; a restricted doc's file link still works). Needs the latest Dirigible theme; on an older theme the screen doesn't appear until it updates.

0.0.65 2026-10-21

Changed

• Hub views filtered by one type, product or brand are titled "Anden 1034 Documentation" instead of "Viewing: Anden 1034 Documentation" in search results, share previews and the browser tab, which reads better as a search result. The Viewing: line on the hub page itself is unchanged.

0.0.64 2026-10-21

Added

• Documentation → Import & Export (needs the latest Dirigible theme). Add or update docs from a spreadsheet, or copy your library to another Dirigible site as a JSON file, with a preview before anything changes and an undo afterwards. Export downloads every doc as a CSV. Files are linked only when they're already in the Media Library. An import can set a doc to Selected users but never makes one public, and Allowed Users never travel with it.

0.0.63 2026-10-21

Fixed

• Hub views filtered by one type, product or brand (the addresses your sitemap lists) now name themselves as the canonical page instead of the unfiltered hub, so search engines can index them. With Dirigible SEO they also keep their own "Viewing: … Documentation" title and share title instead of the hub page's. A hub page with its own SEO Title keeps it on every view. Combined filters and searches stay out of search engines.
• When the hub page is set to No Index (or its canonical points to another page) in Dirigible SEO, its filtered views are left out of the sitemap too.
• With Yoast SEO, the same filtered views now name themselves as canonical instead of the unfiltered hub, and their share link and share title match. When the hub page is set to No Index in Yoast (or its canonical points to another page), Yoast's sitemap leaves out the Doc Types, Products and Brands lists too.

0.0.62 2026-10-15

Added

• Product Downloads can list documents from another Dirigible site, such as a sister brand's documentation library. Enter that site's address in Customize → Dirigible Documentation → Documentation → Documentation Site, then set the block's Source to Documentation site and pick a Product (and optionally a Brand). Files and pages open on the other site. The list only shows documents anyone can see there, and it updates within an hour of changes. If the other site is down, the block keeps showing the last list it loaded. Blocks set to This site look exactly as before. Both sites need this release, and the Documentation Site setting saves only with Dirigible theme 5.31.154 or newer.

0.0.61 2026-10-14

Fixed

• AI: Fill from File keeps working after OpenRouter retires the Gemini 2.5 models on 20 October 2026. The recommended model is now Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite, and a retired Gemini model (from an edit screen left open, or typed into Other) is switched to its replacement. If OpenRouter rejects a model name, AI Fill retries once with Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite, and a reply cut off partway now shows an error instead of an empty result.

0.0.60 2026-10-08

Fixed

• Moving a file to private storage keeps backslashes in the image's caption, title and credit.

0.0.59 2026-10-01

Fixed

• Members who signed in from a front-end login form were sent to an error page instead of where they were going. They are signed in and redirected normally again.

0.0.58 2026-10-01

Fixed

• Product Downloads links no longer carry an invalid accessibility attribute.

0.0.57 2026-09-30

Fixed

• On sites using Dirigible Optimize, the Documentation hub's filters and search update in place for logged-out visitors instead of reloading the page (search used to reload after each pause in typing).

0.0.56 2026-09-30

Security

• A Selected users document can no longer be found by visitors who can't open it through its ID link (?p=…), a mistyped or partial address, an old slug, or a custom query by ID.

Fixed

• Anonymous visitors who open a Selected users document are sent to sign in (the hub login when Gravity Forms User Registration is active), then back to the document, instead of getting "Page not found". Signed-in visitors who aren't on the list get the "no permission" message.

0.0.55 2026-09-30

Security

• Files on Selected users documents now move out of the public media folder into private storage, so they only download through the document, for people allowed to see it, on any host. (Before, servers that ignore .htaccess served them to anyone with the file's URL.) Existing files move automatically in the background after the update, and old file links still open the document.
• Plugin updates use the Dirigible theme's hardened license handling, so a plugin with no license key no longer sends an empty one.

Changed

• Blocks register from a prebuilt list instead of reading each block's settings file on every uncached request.

0.0.54 2026-09-30

Changed

• Documentation hub pages load faster: the documentation base page is looked up once per page instead of once per link.

0.0.53 2026-09-30

Security

• Updates come only from Dirigible: WordPress no longer matches this plugin to a WordPress.org listing with the same name.

Changed

• The installable zip is smaller: build sources, source maps, right-to-left stylesheets and Markdown are no longer shipped. Nothing sites load changed.

Fixed

• A visitor who lands while the plugin is being updated sees "This site is updating, refresh in a minute" instead of a critical error, and error replies never include server file paths.

0.0.52 2026-09-29

Security

• A document can't serve a file that also belongs to a Selected-users document the visitor can't open.
• AI Fill only reads the document's own file or a file the editor is allowed to edit.

Added

• Restricted documents show an admin warning when the server doesn't protect their direct file links (for example on nginx), so you know to share the document page instead.

Fixed

• A documentation file whose name contains a space no longer breaks the site's .htaccess and takes every page down with an error.
• The Customizer can't crash when the Dirigible theme is missing or older.

0.0.51 2026-09-29

Security

• Resetting documentation gating is limited to administrators.

0.0.50 2026-09-28

Changed

• Documentation Explorer hubs, Product Downloads and document taxonomy archives load document terms and files in batches instead of one by one, so those pages build with far fewer database queries (a hub on a test site went from 967 to under 300). The pages look the same.

0.0.49 2026-09-28

Changed

• Site search checks which documents are limited to Selected users with one small query instead of loading every document. On a site with 224 documents this went from about 24 ms to under 1 ms per search.
• The docs hub permalink check loads with the theme's settings query (Dirigible theme 5.31.20 or later).
• The installable zip leaves out builder docs and development files.

0.0.48 2026-09-22

Added

• Accessible alt text on showcase screenshots in screenshots.json for Dirigible Support docs (screen readers; pipeline falls back to caption when needed).

0.0.47 2026-09-21

Changed

• Recapture Documentation block Settings, Customizer, AI Fill, and Reset Gating screenshots at 2× (retina) for Dirigible Support docs.

0.0.46 2026-09-21

Fixed

• Pin Documentation ACF blocks to blockVersion 2 so WordPress 7.1 does not switch them to the block format that can clear sibling field data on save.

0.0.45 2026-09-21

Added

• Sample data fixtures under docs/sample-data/ (WXR + wire + media) registered via ds_sample_data_sources for Dirigible → Import/Export demos and screenshots.
• Front-end featured screenshots (2880×1800) and screenshot manifests for Documentation Explorer, Product Downloads, Documentation post type, Getting Started, and Documentation Hub usage.

0.0.44 2026-09-21

Added

• Builder-facing documentation for the Dirigible Support site: getting started, hub, lead gating, and member access; Documentation post type; Doc Types / Products / Brands; Customizer hub and gating glosses; Documentation Explorer and Product Downloads Settings; and Features (AI Fill, Reset Gating, Redirect file).

0.0.43 2026-09-21

Changed

• Documentation Explorer frontend assets (view.js, style.css) now version with the plugin (?ver=0.0.43) so CDN/browser caches bust on update. WordPress was still serving view.js?ver=0.0.12 from a stale block.json version through 0.0.42.

Fixed

• Documentation Explorer: opening Type / Product / Brand focuses the inner filter field (logged-in admin bar included).
• Type-to-filter hides unmatched options with inline display:none (and [hidden]) so a stale stylesheet cannot leave Anden rows visible after typing Quest.

0.0.42 2026-09-21

Fixed

• Documentation Explorer type-to-filter: printable keys still shrink the open Type / Product / Brand list when focus is not on the inner field (logged-in admin bar, delayed focus, or another control stealing the caret). The menu is shown immediately so the field can take focus.

0.0.41 2026-09-21

Fixed

• Documentation Explorer type / product / brand dropdowns: type-to-filter accepts keystrokes as soon as the menu opens. Opening no longer delays display with a discrete transition, focus is deferred until the field is shown, and printable keys typed on the toggle still filter the list.

0.0.40 2026-09-17

Added

• Documentation Explorer: Reset filters clears search and type / product / brand in one click (quiet text control; hidden until a filter is active).

Changed

• Documentation Explorer type / product / brand dropdowns: options shrink to terms that still match the other active filters (exclude-self faceting; hub rebuilds lists in PHP, non-hub in JS).
• Documentation Explorer type / product / brand dropdowns: max-height with scroll, plus type-to-filter inside each menu for long option lists.
• Documentation Explorer filters: visible Search, Type, Product, and Brand labels above each control.
• Documentation Explorer hub heading: Viewing: prefix with selected term names (e.g. Viewing: Anden 1034 · Quest). Browser title uses the same wording.
• Documentation Explorer: results count below the filter bar (updates when filters change).

0.0.39 2026-09-16

Changed

• Upgrade notice: set Customizer Documentation Base Page so hub filter URLs work. Flush permalinks if /documentation/brand/{slug}/ still 404s after deploy.

Fixed

• Hub URLs like /documentation/brand/quest/ no longer 404 when WordPress treats them as CPT singles. They load the Documentation Explorer with that brand (and type/product) preselected.
• Type / product / brand filter paths work in any order: /brand/quest/type/specs/ is the same filtered view as /type/specs/brand/quest/.

0.0.38 2026-09-16

Added

• Documentation Explorer Layout switcher: Cards (existing card grid) or Tiers (docs grouped under Doc Type headings).
• Tiers layout: compact list rows with file icon, title, and a plain product-name line; the whole row links to the doc single page.
• Tiers Columns control (1 / 2 / 3) as a tag group; responsive up to the chosen max.

Changed

• Show Excerpt and Grid Gap apply to Cards only and hide when Tiers is selected.
• Text search and type / product / brand filters keep working on both layouts; empty Tiers sections hide when nothing matches.
