2.9.4

• Fixed a code block’s background color changing per line when “Show line numbers” or “Highlight lines” was on — a styling side effect of the 2.9.3 fix for the “…” corruption bug, where each line’s code element started picking up unrelated inline-code styling.

2.9.3

• Fixed a draft chapter or section’s Preview link (both the block editor’s own “Preview” button and the admin app’s “View” action) redirecting to the live URL and 404ing instead of showing the draft.
• Fixed a bare URL showing up as the floating “table of contents” button’s accessible text in some SEO/accessibility auditing tools.
• Fixed “…” (three dots, as in a code spread operator) silently turning into a single “…” character inside a Code Snippet block whenever “Show line numbers” or “Highlight lines” was on.
• Fixed chapter numbers leaving a permanent gap after a chapter was permanently deleted (e.g. a section and its chapters removed together) — remaining chapters are now automatically renumbered with no gap.
• Enriched the author Person schema.org data on Book/Chapter/Section pages with optional LinkedIn/GitHub links — add them under your user profile’s new “LinkedIn URL”/”GitHub URL” fields.

2.9.2

• Added a progress bar to each book’s page showing how much of it is published and ready to read — counts published chapters against every chapter assigned to the book, drafts included. Shown below the title, on by default; turn it off in Settings under “Book progress bar”.

2.9.1

• Fixed a crash (“Something went wrong loading this screen”) right after adding a chapter in the Books & Chapters admin app — the new chapter was actually created fine, but the screen broke until a refresh. Only affected sites with “Table of contents excerpts” shown in the admin app’s chapter list.

2.9.0

• Section (module) URLs are now nested under their book, /books/{book-slug}/{section-slug}/, matching a chapter’s own URL shape.
• “Start reading” now opens a book’s first section’s own introduction page when it has one, instead of always jumping straight to the first chapter.
• Previous/next chapter navigation now stops at a section’s own introduction page when advancing into or out of that section, instead of skipping past it.
• The floating table of contents button, missing from a section’s own introduction page, has been added.
• Sections now start as a draft when created, the same as a new chapter — publish from the Block Editor when ready.
• Added a “Table of contents section descriptions” setting to show or hide each section’s description in the table of contents list (on by default).

2.8.9

• Sections can now have their own optional introduction page — write it from a section’s own Block Editor screen (like a chapter) and its table-of-contents heading links there automatically. A section with nothing written keeps working exactly as before.
• A section’s introduction page now paginates like a chapter page, leading straight into its first chapter and back to whichever chapter came right before it, instead of only linking back to the table of contents.
• Chapter URLs moved from /book-chapter/{slug}/ to /books/{book-slug}/{chapter-slug}/, nested under their book. An old bookmarked link still works.
• Table-of-contents section headings now match a chapter row’s own link styling (no underline, accent color on hover) instead of a plain underlined link.
• A section’s edit screen now returns to the right book when you leave it, the same way a book or chapter’s edit screen already does.
• Hardened the section data migration to be safely retryable, and tightened the public table of contents to never show a draft section’s heading.
