WP BrowserUpdate

6.0.1

• Fixed:
  • Corrects the original plugin source strings to en-US so WordPress.org translations can provide locale-specific variants such as en-GB.

6.0.0

• Breaking:
  • Requires WordPress 6.0 or newer.
  • Replaces the legacy space-separated settings storage with the structured wp_browserupdate_options option.
  • Migrates existing wp_browserupdate_browsers, wp_browserupdate_js, and wp_browserupdate_css_buorg values automatically.
  • Removes the old normal-render-path conversion of negative browser versions; values are now passed predictably to the bundled runtime.
  • Removes developer callback settings from the admin UI and saved settings model.
• Added:
  • Adds interface coverage for the browser-update.org customization options used by WP BrowserUpdate: all runtime browser keys, reminderClosed, notify_esr, noclose, no_permanent_hide, container, url, url_permanent_hide, burl, fixed language, and text overrides.
• Changed:
  • Takes the long-postponed step of making the browser-update.org integration CSP-compatible by shipping the complete runtime with the plugin, so sites on shared hosting or strict Content Security Policies no longer need to allow scripts from browser-update.org.
  • Adds the required browser-update.org runtime/adapter asset files intentionally, with upstream source URLs and hashes documented for attribution and review.
  • Loads bundled browser-update.org runtime files from the plugin directory through the WordPress script queue.
  • Removes browser-update.org runtime requests from the frontend by loading only same-origin plugin assets.
  • Uses WP BrowserUpdate CSP adapter files for the notification and test-mode scripts so the runtime can avoid generated inline styles.
  • Moves the frontend browser-update.org configuration and notification styles to local, enqueueable assets for better compatibility with stricter Content Security Policies.
  • Uses the WordPress HTTP API with a host allowlist for remote browser-version checks.
  • Uses the WordPress Settings API for the admin settings page.
  • Splits admin settings handling into smaller validation, migration and rendering steps.
  • Documents the bundled browser-update.org runtime, local frontend loading, and expected visitor-facing behavior.
  • Passes dotted browser versions such as 137.0.3912.63 to the bundled runtime without reducing them to major versions.
  • Adds separate Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Internet Explorer thresholds.
  • Ships only the loaded runtime/adapter files in the release package; upstream reference copies are documented by URL and hash rather than duplicated in the plugin ZIP.
• Security:
  • Adds stricter settings validation before saving options.
  • Sanitizes custom CSS before saving and before frontend output.
  • Hardens external admin links with rel="noopener noreferrer".

5.1.1

• Added:
  • Support for free-text input of browser versions (replaces dropdown selection)
  • Browser version check and caching
  • Cache duration filter: Added a wpbu_browser_version_cache_hours filter to allow developers to adjust the browser version cache duration (default: 6 hours).
• Changed:
  • Admin settings page follows WordPress admin standards
  • Cleaner field structure: Improved markup and consistency of settings form fields
  • Security: Improved sanitization and nonce handling for all settings fields
  • Performance: Fewer unnecessary remote lookups when opening the admin settings page
• Fixed:
  • Prevented a frontend “Uncaught Error” caused by invalid/unexpected browser version strings by hardening version parsing and normalization. Thanks to @danyloliptuha for pointing out.
