1.3.1 — a test button for the Slack webhook

A Send a test message button beside the Slack webhook field on the Logging settings.

It posts to whatever is in the field — saved or not — waits for Slack's answer and reports it. Ordinary log traffic is fire-and-forget, so a webhook Slack rejects otherwise fails silently.

The endpoint carries a nonce and requires manage_options. Bundled lauzis/wp-plugin-packages updated to 1.16.0.

1.3.0 — Slack webhook for logs

Log entries can now be posted to a Slack incoming webhook.

Two fields on the Logging settings: the webhook URL, and whether Slack gets errors only (the default) or every entry. Errors are posted even with file logging off — an audit runs unattended, so a failure that only reaches a log file is one nobody reads until the next visit to the Logs page.

• Fire-and-forget, so an audit never waits on Slack; a webhook Slack rejects fails quietly.
• Only https:// URLs are used: the webhook URL is itself a credential.
• "Every log entry" means one request per entry against a webhook Slack rate-limits to about a message a second.

Bundled lauzis/wp-plugin-packages updated to 1.15.0. The change log's "Latest Release" heading named 1.0.16, six releases ago — now dated like every other entry.
