v1.7.1 - Bugfix: Cache Invalidation

🐛 v1.7.1 - Bugfix Release

Fixed

Cache Invalidation for New Forms

• Problem: Newly created WSForm forms were not detected in the plugin UI
• Cause: 5-minute transient cache without proper invalidation
• Solution: Hash-based cache validation using MD5(id:date_updated)

How it works:

• Cache now checks MD5 hash of all forms (ID + date_updated)
• When forms list changes (new forms, updates, deletions), hash differs
• Cache automatically invalidates on changes
• New forms appear immediately in plugin UI

Benefits

✅ Immediate detection of new forms
✅ Automatic invalidation on updates/deletions
✅ Maintains performance benefit of caching
✅ No dependency on WSForm hooks

Changed Files

• admin/class-rest-api.php: Hash-based cache validation for get_forms()

Info

• Bugfix release for v1.7.0
• No breaking changes
• Fully backward compatible
• Tested on WordPress 5.8+ and PHP 7.4+
