This is the complete Dynamic Functionalities changelog, from the first public release to the current version 1.4.7. I keep it honest: security fixes are labeled as security fixes, and breaking changes are called out as such.

The short version of the plugin’s history: 1.0 shipped 15 modules and a modern dashboard, 1.1 made everything free and renamed the plugin for WordPress.org, 1.2 switched every module to off-by-default, and the 1.3 and 1.4 series have been about WordPress 7 editor compatibility, fonts, and hardening.

1.4 Series

Version 1.4.7

  • Added: the block editor canvas receives explicit font-family rules when “Assign fonts to body text and headings” is enabled, so the editor matches the front end even when theme.json assignment doesn’t reach the iframe
  • Fixed: custom fonts now render inside the iframed block editor; @font-face is injected through the editor styles setting, the same channel the Font Library uses
  • Fixed: variable-font weight ranges with an out-of-spec low bound like 1 900 are normalized to 100 900 instead of being silently dropped by WordPress
  • Fixed: Components CSS reaches the block editor canvas reliably in WordPress 7
  • Changed: removed the redundant admin_head font print, superseded by the editor styles channel

Version 1.4.6

  • Added: per-font unicode-range support with quick-pick presets (Latin, Latin Extended, Greek, Cyrillic, Vietnamese, Punctuation/Symbols), also emitted into theme.json
  • Security: Login Security no longer trusts X-Forwarded-For or Client-IP headers by default; they were spoofable, allowing lockouts to be evaded or weaponized. A “Trust Proxy Headers” opt-in covers CDN and reverse-proxy setups
  • Security: client IPs from proxy headers are validated with FILTER_VALIDATE_IP
  • Fixed: Block Cleanup XPath escaping, Snippets placeholder collision, Fonts admin badge and cache invalidation, Task Manager AJAX registration and card layout, Help & Support button styling under WordPress 7

Version 1.4.5

  • Added: WOFF and WOFF2 font uploads in the media library
  • Security: font uploads validated via binary magic-byte signatures

Version 1.4.4

  • Fixed: Schema and Block Cleanup now skip content with Vue or Alpine.js directives, preventing DOMDocument from corrupting JS framework templates
  • Refactored: shared Vue-safe guard trait used by all three the_content filters that parse the DOM

Version 1.4.3

  • Fixed: Link Management skips HTML containing Vue directives like v-if and @click; DOM re-parsing was corrupting reactive templates in themes like MyListing

Version 1.4.2

  • Fixed: wp_kses preserves data-*, async, defer, nomodule, id, nonce, crossorigin, and as attributes in header and footer snippets

Version 1.4.1

  • Added: opt-in “Delete all plugin data when uninstalling” checkbox on the dashboard
  • Fixed: all file writes moved to the WP_Filesystem API; removed sslverify => false from Assumption Detection loopback requests

Version 1.4.0

  • Added: Bricks Builder font integration
  • Added: PWA module prefills app details from WordPress settings and the Site Icon
  • Improved: Task Manager UI redesign with a card-based project grid

1.3 Series

Version 1.3.3

  • Improved: Snippets UI with collapsible cards, type badges, and inline label editing

Version 1.3.2

  • Added: snippets repeater, multiple independently-toggleable snippets per location
  • Removed: legacy GT Nofollow Manager references and gtnf_* filters

Version 1.3.1

  • Added: public Link_Management::process_content() helper for ACF fields and custom templates
  • Improved: Redirect Manager query-string handling, O(1) exact lookup, deferred hit counters, and redirect loop detection

Version 1.3.0

  • Added: WordPress 7 iframed editor compatibility for Fonts, SVG Icons, Content Regression, and Components
  • Tested: up to WordPress 7.0

1.2 and Earlier

Version 1.2.0

  • Changed: all 16 modules now require explicit activation; no module runs code until enabled

Version 1.1.1

  • Fixed: escaping compliance and WordPress.org packaging issues

Version 1.1.0

  • Renamed: to Dynamic Functionalities for WordPress.org
  • Changed: all features free and open source; removed licensing module and premium barriers
  • Added: Progressive Web App module
