1.0.6 — 2026-09-03

🛠 Fixed

• Activate works. The License panel's Activate and Deactivate buttons posted to form actions nobody was listening on — the panel derived the names from the plugin slug while the settings class listened on its own short names — so activating a key landed on a blank page. The prefix now has one home that both sides read.
• Activates beside either edition of Better Messages. WordPress 6.5+ enforces the Requires Plugins header by folder slug, so the header refused to activate this add-on next to the standalone WebSocket build even though the runtime check already accepted it. The header is gone; one check on plugins_loaded covers both editions, Settings and Diagnostics load before that check so the admin page stays reachable while Better Messages is deactivated, and Diagnostics reads the version off the running plugin rather than a folder path. Delivery still polls on both editions; the docs now say so.

1.0.5 — 2026-08-29

Sync — lockstep bump, no plugin changes.

1.0.4 — 2026-08-26

🔧 Changed

• The shared admin library caught up with the rest of the suite. Every TBC plugin ships a byte-identical copy of the same admin CSS, JS and licenser under one handle, and this plugin's copy had fallen behind. It now carries the Hide sensitive control — which covers credentials on screen so a settings page can be screen-shared or screenshotted without publishing them — the one-open-at-a-time accordion, and newest-wins registration, so the copy WordPress actually loads is the most recent one installed rather than whichever plugin happened to register first.
• The documentation theme re-synced, so this plugin's HTML reference looks like the rest of the suite again.

1.0.3 — 2026-08-16

Sync — lockstep bump, no plugin changes. The module side took the app's tree-wide lint pass; no behaviour change.

1.0.2 — 2026-08-09

Sync — lockstep bump, no plugin changes. The 1.0.2 changes are module-side: Messages is a menu row you can place in any zone, plus an iOS keyboard fix in chat.

1.0.1 — 2026-08-01

🔧 Changed

• The License tab's support contact follows the site's vendor identity. A dev-bundle buyer running managed service for their own clients points it at their own business from the client site's wp-config.php, so their clients see their address rather than ours. Left undefined it stays Two Birds Code, so nothing changes on an ordinary install.
• Greek. The app module ships a Greek catalog this release, so its screens follow the app's language — see the module changelog. The plugin's own admin screens are unchanged.

1.0.0 — 2026-07-23

✨ New

• Better Messages replaces the app's built-in messenger. When active and licensed, this plugin turns the TBC Community App's built-in Fluent Community messaging off and hands the app's messaging surface to the third-party Better Messages plugin — threads, group chats, attachments, GIFs, stickers, reactions, and rooms — with a "Messages" entry (provided by Better Messages) in the app header.
• Header slot handoff. Registers a kind=module "Messages" header row that shares the header messages slot with the built-in messenger, so the app's Customize studio picks which one is live from the "Provided by" dropdown — only one is ever alive.
• App config hydration. Injects a tbcConfig block (edit permissions, edit time limit, attachment support, transport mechanism, plugin version) into Better Messages' initial REST payload on hydration only, so the mobile client learns the server's capabilities in one round-trip.
• Native push notifications. New Better Messages replies fire a native push through the app's existing Expo push pipeline — deep-linking straight to the thread — with per-user preference gating and its own "Messages" category in the app's notification settings. Senders and users who muted the thread are skipped; system, deleted, and still-pending (moderated) messages never notify, and a message only pushes once it clears moderation. Better Messages' own browser push is stood down so notifications aren't doubled. A buyer toggle chooses between message-preview and generic bodies (preview on by default).
• Diagnostics. An opt-in Diagnostics tab records why each push sent or was skipped and produces a one-click copy-to-clipboard report (WordPress / PHP / Better Messages / plugin versions, the Better Messages settings snapshot, GIF-provider and transport state, push registration, device-token count) — built for triaging Better Messages sites we don't run ourselves.
• Admin screen. Settings / Diagnostics / License tabs on the shared TBC admin design system, with a Better Messages dependency check that shows an admin notice when Better Messages is missing.
