WPPilot 1.6.1 — Usage reporting is now opt-in

Anonymous usage reporting is off until you switch it on, and the notice 1.6.0 put on your dashboard is gone.

Nothing is sent unless you turn it on under WPPilot → Settings → Anonymous usage reporting. A feature that only runs when asked for has nothing to disclose on activation, so the notice had no job left to do.

A choice you already made is not overruled. Sites that pressed Keep it on in 1.6.0 keep reporting; sites that turned it off stay off. Every other site — including one that dismissed the notice without answering — stops reporting on update, and its daily scheduled event is cleared rather than left firing for a feature that is off.

Uninstalling now removes the reporting switch, the installation identifier and the daily event. None of them were listed for cleanup before.

No new abilities and no permission changes. Existing connections keep working and do not need re-authorising.

Requires WordPress 6.9+ and PHP 8.0+.

WPPilot Pro requires this plugin installed and active.

Install wppilot-1.6.1.zip. The -org archive is the WordPress.org submission build, which has the updater and the usage reporting code removed entirely — it is not the one to install from here.
