v1.2.1 — minimum PHP 8.1

Metadata release. No functional change from v1.2.0: same block, same REST endpoint, same schema output.

Changed

• Minimum PHP is now 8.1, declared in the plugin header, the README and composer.json.

v1.2.0 declared 8.0, but nothing ever tested it — PHPUnit 10 requires 8.1, so the suite has only ever run on 8.2 and the 8.0 floor was an unverified claim. 8.1 is the lowest version the project can actually stand behind.

If you are on PHP 8.0, stay on v1.2.0 — it runs there, it was simply never tested there.

Requirements: WordPress 6.5+, PHP 8.1+.

v1.2.0 — headless REST endpoint

Adds a read-only REST endpoint so a headless front end can serve the same FAQ content, and the same structured data, as the WordPress page.

New

GET /wp-json/answer-ready/v1/faqs/<post_id>

Returns a post's FAQ pairs plus the FAQPage JSON-LD that post publishes. Public, read-only, cached in a transient keyed by the post's modified time, and sent with Cache-Control: public, max-age=300, s-maxage=3600. Drafts, private, password-protected and non-public post types all return the same 404.

Changed

• The normaliser, the wp_kses() allowlist and the schema builder moved into includes/faq-data.php. The block's render callback and the endpoint both call it, so the JSON-LD on the page and the JSON from the API are the same graph by construction.
• render.php is 31 lines shorter and holds no schema logic of its own.

Added

• A PHPUnit suite that needs no WordPress install — composer install && composer test.
• examples/headless-nextjs/ — a Next.js App Router page consuming the endpoint.

The block's behaviour on the page is unchanged: same editor UI, same <details>/<summary> accordion, same JSON-LD output.

Requirements: WordPress 6.5+, PHP 8.0+.

v1.1.0 — PlayPlayAI author credit

Maintenance release. The block's behaviour is unchanged from v1.0.0: same editor UI, same <details>/<summary> accordion, same server-rendered FAQPage JSON-LD.

What changed

• Author credit is now PlayPlayAI, with Author URI https://playplayai.com (plugin header, package.json, README).
• Version bumped to 1.1.0 in the plugin header, PLUGIN_VERSION, and block.json.

Requirements: WordPress 6.5+, PHP 8.0+.
