Changelog

1.3.0 — 2025-08-12

Added

Tabbed settings UI (Appearance / Content & Labels / Default Consent / Storage & Logging / Advanced) with a two-column layout: tabs on the left, live preview on the right.
Overlay modes for the banner: none, dim, dim-lock (with optional body scroll lock).
Centered position + layout-centered styles; compact/minimal layout refinements.
Action order presets (optional): Balanced, Accept-first, Manage-between, Stacked (mobile).
Learn more: custom label + page selector (fallback to Privacy Policy).
Log privacy modes: Anonymize (default) or Full (opt-in) with clear guidance.
Empty-state messaging and category placeholders when no cookies exist.
Shortcode: [cpc_consent_gate] to reveal embeds/blocks only after consent.

Changed

Banner architecture: PHP Banner + PreviewBanner classes; clean wrapper/option methods; CSS class system for position/layout/font/button styles.
Admin UX polish: cards, spacing, and accessible tabs (ARIA roles/attributes).
Front-end UX: “Manage preferences” opens an accordion with per-category lists; smoother transitions.

Fixed

Checkbox sync on reopen after Accept/Reject (no page reload needed).
Default consent saving (no accidental pre-consent); localStorage seeding won’t auto-consent new visitors.
DB activation reliability for the consentpress table; internal/external cleanup honors retention.
Asset hygiene: removed remaining inline JS/CSS; proper enqueue only on plugin pages.
Cache busting for cookie-definitions.json to avoid stale previews.

Developer

Namespaced, PSR-4 autoloaded classes
Hooks/filters for extensibility (e.g., consentpress_banner_classes).
Script Manager templates (GTM/GA, Meta, LinkedIn, Hotjar, Ads, YouTube/Vimeo, Maps, TikTok, Cloudflare Turnstile, HubSpot) + advanced rules parser.

Notes

New

Script Manager (Autoblocking): blocks known vendor scripts/iframes until consent, then re-hydrates.
Vendor templates: GTM/GA, Meta, LinkedIn, Hotjar, Google Ads, YouTube/Vimeo, reCAPTCHA, Maps, TikTok, Cloudflare Turnstile, HubSpot.
Advanced Rules: substring or regex:/…/flags → category mapping.
Front-end loader: early-blocker script; optional placeholders for blocked embeds.
