Changelog
1.1.0
- Fix: VLibras widget failed to load — its assets were requested from an invalid “[object Object]” path. The widget now initializes through the v7.5.0 positional API.
- Fix: asset cache-busters were hardcoded to version 1.0.0; they now follow the plugin version, so updates are never masked by stale caches.
- Fix: the Sienna accessibility menu now opens above the widget buttons instead of underneath them.
- Fix: removed stylesheet overrides that fought Sienna’s own button positioning.
- Change: the settings page is now labeled “Bauhaus Accessibility” under Settings.
- Note: the VLibras player is hosted by the government service (vlibras.gov.br). Intermittent availability of that service affects the widget independently of this plugin.
1.0.0
