v0.6.0 - Advanced URL Routing, Admin Capability Guard, and Settings Persistence Fixes

OL Theme Router v0.6.0

This release adds Advanced URL Routing and includes important reliability and security-aligned improvements for admin behavior.

Highlights

• Added Advanced tab with URL-based routing rules.
• Added URL rule repeater support for:
  • Exact path matching (example: /services)
  • Optional child-page matching (/services/*)
• Added strict frontend URL gating when Advanced routing is enabled:
  • Frontend routing now requires a URL rule match.
• Fixed settings persistence bug:
  • Saving Advanced settings no longer resets General settings (and vice versa).
• Added dashboard/admin routing capability guard:
  • Admin routing now respects manage_options to avoid overriding role/capability security expectations.
• Added PHP 7.4 compatibility wrappers to avoid PHP 8-only string helper usage.
• Updated plugin documentation:
  • Added License section
  • Added CHANGELOG.md
  • Removed “phase” wording from docs/settings labels

Notes

• Avoid adding wp-admin URLs in Advanced routing rules.
• Dashboard/admin routing is already controlled from the General tab dashboard setting.
