Guard register_routes against an empty REST namespace by @d4mation in #169

New Contributors

@pramodjodhani made their first contribution in #171

Full Changelog: v1.4.0...v1.5.0

Open source →

Additional notes

Tweak - Update the unified license key input UI to mask its value when in locked state.
Feature - Added const LW_HARBOR_DISABLE_DEBUG_LOG to disable harbor specific logs
Fix - Fixed license activation being blocked for ~60s after submitting an invalid key. The validate-and-store throttle is now per-license-key with a separate rolling-window rate limit for abuse protection, so a valid key submitted right after an invalid one no longer replays the previous error.
Fix - Fixed license validation using the wrong domain on staging/preview sites. Site\Data::get_domain() now derives the host from home_url() instead of reading the siteurl option directly, so host-environment plugins that rewrite the site address (e.g. Hostinger's preview-domain mu-plugin) are honored and the domain Harbor validates against matches the one used during activation. WP-CLI and cron are unaffected, as home_url() returns the canonical domain when no web request is present.
Fix - Corrected support and documentation links in the Error Modal
