v1.3.6

What's Changed

• Fixed dynamic plugin admin page rule leakage by storing plugin-page rules under exact raw screen IDs instead of the generic plugin_pages bucket.
• Added automatic migration for legacy plugin_pages rules to preserve intended behavior without cross-plugin spillover.
• Fixed REST whitelist smart detection so plugin-specific REST namespaces stay available when namespace detection is enabled.
• Updated release metadata and plugin version to 1.3.6.

Release Assets

• smart-admin-plugin-manager.zip
• smart-admin-plugin-manager.sha256

Notes

This is a backward-compatible bugfix release.

• Resolved activation errors caused by malformed extracted filenames on Linux.

Changed

• Removed build tooling file from plugin directory (tools/build-release.ps1).
• Kept installable asset name as smart-admin-plugin-manager.zip.

Smart Admin Plugin Manager v1.3.2

Smart Admin Plugin Manager v1.3.2

Maintenance and hardening release focused on safer frontend filtering, better updater stability guarantees, and lower runtime overhead.

Changed

• Frontend filtering now normalizes unsupported mode values to safe fallback (passthrough).
• Frontend/admin rule input handling tightened for safer plugin basename processing.

Fixed

• Self-protection guard now uses the main plugin basename (prevents accidental self-filtering/self-deactivation).
• Frontend drawer reload action works reliably after sanitized dynamic rendering.

Security

• Hardened frontend/admin rule sanitization for mode and plugin basename inputs.
• Replaced suppressed regex validation path with explicit safe validation helpers.

Performance

• Frontend asset versioning moved from per-request timestamp busting to deterministic version + filemtime.
• Auto-rules generation optimized by removing expensive correlated trigger query.
• DB query attribution overhead reduced via trace-depth tuning and plugin-dir caching.

Compatibility

• WordPress: 6.0+
• PHP: 7.4+
• Breaking changes: None
