[1.1.2] - 2026-08-04
- Renamed the plugin to "Rank Math Modified Date Lock" and moved it into its own dedicated plugin folder, no longer usable via functions.php, mu-plugins, or a code snippet plugin.
- The plugin now requires Rank Math SEO to be active before it can be activated, and will deactivate itself if Rank Math is later turned off.

[1.1.1] - NOT RELEASED
[1.1.0] - 2026-06-29
- Fixed a bug where the editor could show extra spacing or overlapping content due to how the plugin loaded its script.
[1.0.0] - 2026-06-28
- Initial release. Automatically turns on Rank Math's "Lock Modified Date" toggle when opening the block editor, so minor edits don't update a post's modified date unless you choose to allow it.
