CoreSlim 1.0.2 (wordpress.org submission release)

A release focused on preparing the free CoreSlim plugin for the WordPress.org Plugin Directory.

Changes

  • WordPress.org build now uses native WordPress.org updates only (build.ps1 -WpOrg emits core-slim-1.0.2-wporg.zip with NO ShareWire integration, so updates flow purely through the WordPress.org channel). GitHub/ShareWire installs keep ShareWire auto-updates + opt-in telemetry.
  • Tested up to: 7.0 (readme + changelog).
  • Update/telemetry copy made WordPress.org-neutral across the plugin header, readme.txt and README.md.
  • Added tools/make-wporg-assets.php to regenerate the wp.org icon/banner/screenshot PNG assets.

Install

Use the default core-slim-1.0.2.zip from this release (GitHub/ShareWire channel, keeps ShareWire auto-updates). The -wporg variant is intended for the WordPress.org submission and is not needed for normal installs.

CoreSlim v1.0.1

Telemetry is now opt-in (off by default) to meet WordPress.org guideline #7 (no user tracking without explicit consent).

What changed

  • New Privacy & Consent section on the Settings screen with a single toggle: "Send anonymous usage telemetry to ShareWire.in" (off by default).
  • CoreSlim now never contacts an external server unless you explicitly enable it. It stores all settings locally in your WordPress database.
  • Updated the readme + FAQ "How is my data handled?" to describe the opt-in clearly.

Baseline (unchanged from v1.0.0)

  • Four modules over a single autoloaded option: Assets, Header & Meta Cleanup, Security & Hardening, Performance & Server Resources.
  • Safe / Maximum Performance / Reset presets, JSON export/import, live AJAX toggles.
  • Native WordPress auto-updates (still via ShareWire) and no license key, no activation lock, free forever.

Quality

  • 81/81 tests passing (added consent-default, sanitize-optin, hook-not-registered-when-off, and docs dash-scan cases).
  • PHP lint clean on all files; Rule 21 (no em/en dash) enforced at build.
