v1.0.1

Lunar SEO v1.0.1 - Security & Maintenance Update

Lunar SEO v1.0.1 is now officially available! This patch release focuses on fixing a critical security vulnerability related to JSON-LD output, resolving multiple admin UI bugs, improving sitemap cache efficiency, and cleaning up unused legacy code.

We highly recommend all users to upgrade to this version immediately.

Security

• JSON-LD Stored XSS Patch: Removed JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES from the Schema module's JSON-LD output. This flag disabled PHP's default protection against a </script> sequence (e.g. inside a post title, category name, or author name) prematurely closing the JSON-LD <script> tag, which could lead to stored XSS.

Fixed

• General Module & Admin UI:

  • The "Show in search results" toggle (Categories & Tags) now actually affects the robots meta tag on category/tag archives — previously the setting was saved but never read anywhere, so disabling it had no effect.
  • Fixed issue where the "Show in search results" toggle would visually default to off on a fresh install when nothing had been saved yet.
  • SEO Title and Meta Description fields (Admin Settings and Editor sidebar) now have a proper accessible label for screen readers.
  • Bundled translations will now actually load (load_plugin_textdomain() was never called).
  • Translated remaining Indonesian UI strings to English for consistency.
  • Removed an unnecessary wp_enqueue_media() call on the Sitemap settings page.
  • Settings pages no longer get stuck on an endless loading spinner if the initial settings request fails; an error notice is shown instead.

• Sitemap & Meta Data:

  • Fixed inconsistent escaping of og:url, og:image, and twitter:image (now use esc_url() instead of esc_attr()).
  • Priorities dropdown (Sitemap) now correctly reflects saved whole-number values (1.0, 0.0).
  • Excluded Items category checklist no longer silently caps at the first 100 categories.

Changed

• Sitemap Cache Efficiency: Sitemap cache no longer invalidates on post revisions/autosaves, reducing unnecessary cache regeneration.
• Admin Menu Optimization: Sitemap's admin submenu now references General's menu slug constant directly instead of a duplicated string.
• Code Refactoring: Extracted a shared useRestSettings hook, removing duplicated fetch/save logic between the General and Sitemap Settings apps.

Removed

• Removed readme.txt (duplicated by README.md).
• Removed unused code: Bootstrap::get_option_manager() / get_site_identity(), TitleResolver::get_site_name(), and the orphaned template-field.js component.
