Changelog

2.6.16

Removed the unexpected root BUILDING.md file from the production plugin package.
Normalized the main plugin file so the distributed pointly-booking.php uses a single line-ending style.

2.6.15

Repackaged the latest WordPress.org submission build with the cleaned root plugin file, included source directories, and build documentation.

2.6.14

Included src/, package.json, and build instructions in the distributed plugin package so compiled assets have matching human-readable source.
Removed the legacy extra root bookpoint-v5.php file from the package and kept pointly-booking.php as the single plugin entry file.

2.6.13

Merged the plugin bootstrap and runtime into a single root file named pointly-booking.php.
Removed the extra root bookpoint-v5.php entry file to keep the upload package aligned with standard WordPress plugin structure.

2.6.12

Added a standard root plugin bootstrap file (pointly-booking.php) with the complete WordPress plugin header.
Converted bookpoint-v5.php into an internal core loader so upload scanners only detect one valid plugin entry file.

2.6.11

Secured the public manage-booking slots REST route so exclude_booking_id now requires either booking-management capability or the matching booking manage key.
Updated the customer reschedule page to pass the booking manage key when requesting replacement time slots.

2.6.10

Tightened REST API permissions across admin endpoints to keep customer, agent, schedule, holiday, and field-value access inside the correct capability scope.
Replaced blocked public plugin URLs with working WordPress.org URLs and prepared a clean free-only upload package without archived release copies.

2.6.8

Updated the admin release package with the latest sidebar cleanup, icon assignments, and corrected account icon filename.
Regenerated the upload package for the current BookPoint free plugin release.

Improved sidebar proportions, grouped navigation rhythm, and responsive drawer behavior for a cleaner admin experience.

2.6.5

Tightened REST API permission callbacks for promo codes, tools, and calendar booking access.
Updated the booking form block render callback to avoid returning raw shortcode output.

2.6.1

Split the admin app into lazy-loaded screen chunks to improve initial load performance.
Centralized admin success and error toasts so save feedback is more consistent across screens.
Polished save feedback in key catalog, settings, and promo-code flows.

Improved plugin title and description for better visibility in booking system, appointment booking, and booking calendar searches.
Enhanced readme content for clearer scheduling, online booking, and service booking discovery.
Expanded FAQ content to better describe existing booking, calendar, and payment features.

Added a safe BookPoint Pro information screen and feature registry for a separate paid add-on.
