Dirigible Publications changelog

0.0.28 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: a long list of chosen articles scrolls, and block previews can't be clicked into by accident. Needs the next Dirigible theme release.

0.0.27 2026-10-22

Changed

• Articles are laid out on the canvas. The editor shows an article as its page does: breadcrumbs, the cover image and title, your content in the main column, the footer line and the issue sidebar. Select Edit on the cover to change the featured image, or on the sidebar to choose the Issue and Article Type; the sidebar's Article panel has the same buttons. The page itself doesn't change.
• Publications no longer needs Advanced Custom Fields. The three blocks and the Issue fields read what ACF saved, so every page shows exactly what it showed before, with ACF active or not. The blocks' sidebars and the Issues screens' fields are Publications' own now and save in the same format.

0.0.26 2026-10-22

Changed

• Publications settings moved from Appearance → Customize to Publications → Settings (needs the latest Dirigible theme), with the same values. Old Customizer links open the new page; on an older theme they stay in the Customizer. A new Slug applies to issue and article addresses as soon as you save.
• Title Label and Date Label aren't on the new page: they were never shown anywhere on the site.

Added

• Previews on Publications → Settings: a sample issue page under Issue Page Settings and a sample article page under Article Page Settings show the heading styles, labels and separator as you change them, before you save. The samples are made up and nothing is stored.

0.0.25 2026-10-21

Fixed

• The Customizer's Slug now moves issue pages too (/issues/issue-name/), not only article addresses. Permalinks refresh by themselves after the update.
• Info Separator (Issue Page Settings) is applied to the volume, number and date line. It used to stay "·".
• Issue Archive and Latest Issue list issues that have no Issue Date, after the dated ones. They used to leave them out.
• The Publications menu's own address opens the Articles list; it used to say "Cannot load ds-publications".

0.0.24 2026-10-21

Changed

• Builder docs: an overview, Getting started, the Issue Archive, Latest Issue and Featured Articles blocks, the Articles post type, Issues, Categories and the Customizer settings now have pages on support.mydirigible.com, beside Import & Export.

0.0.23 2026-10-21

Added

• Publications → Import & Export (needs the latest Dirigible theme). Import an issue's articles from a spreadsheet, or update excerpts, authors and categories across many articles, with a preview first and an undo afterwards. Rows name their issue and categories (new ones are added), and their authors by name or web address from People. A row matches an existing article by web address, then title, and the preview flags a title match in a different issue. Issue covers, volumes, numbers and dates stay on the site.

0.0.22 2026-10-01

Fixed

• Latest Issue's sidebar fields no longer depend on load order against Dirigible Fleet (the two blocks shared a field group key).

0.0.21 2026-10-01

Changed

• Blocks register from a prebuilt list instead of reading each block's settings file on every uncached request.
• Update checks use the Dirigible theme's license handling, so a plugin with no license key no longer sends an empty one.

0.0.20 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.

0.0.19 2026-09-29

Security

• Article, issue and breadcrumb links and class names in the Publications blocks and pages are escaped.

Fixed

• The Customizer can't crash when the Dirigible theme is missing or older.

Changed

• The installable zip leaves out development files.

0.0.18 2026-09-21

Fixed

• Pin Publications 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.
