Harvify Image Optimizer for WebP and AVIF

Changelog

1.0.29

• Added: a single Support entry in the Harvify menu, so you can reach us from
  inside WordPress. Until now no plugin offered a contact route at all. One entry for
  the whole suite rather than one per plugin.
• No behaviour changes.

1.0.28

• Added: an External services section to this readme, naming every third-party
  service the plugin can contact, exactly what is sent, when, and each provider’s terms
  and privacy policy. Required for WordPress.org submission.
• Changed: the Contributors field now names the correct WordPress.org account.
• No behaviour changes.

1.0.27

• Rebuild: the published 1.0.26 package was generated from an earlier tree. Documentation
  only; no behaviour changes.

1.0.26

• Added: a single Manage licence link on the Plan screen, so an active customer can
  deactivate this site, change their licence key or re-check their licence without
  needing a URL from support. No per-plugin Account tab is added.

1.0.25

• One upgrade link instead of one per plugin. With several Harvify plugins active the
  menu showed a row called “Upgrade” for each of them, all identically labelled, and it kept
  saying Upgrade to people who had already bought. They are replaced by a single Plan
  screen that says what the bundle costs, what it covers, and whether your licence is active.
• The dashboard is quiet again. Each plugin used to add its own “opt in to make this
  better” notice to the main WordPress dashboard, so five plugins meant five notices. Harvify
  plugins now share one queue: promotional notices appear only on Harvify’s own screens, and
  only one at a time. Licence and account messages are never held back.
• Fixed: the “Data & uninstall” box covered the page. It was being drawn into the admin
  footer, which WordPress pins to the bottom of the screen, so it floated on top of whatever was
  underneath it. It now sits in the page like any other card. Saving it also tells you what it
  saved, instead of just reloading.
• Fixed: the upgrade screen advertised the wrong number of sites. Several plugins listed
  the Freelancer and Agency plans as covering 5 and 25 sites. They cover 3 and 10.

1.0.24

• Packaging fix for the download this plugin actually ships as. The Freemius product slug
  still held the name originally requested, so every generated ZIP unpacked into
  harvify-image-optimizer-for-webp-and-avif/ while the plugin’s text domain and its
  WordPress.org home are harvify-image-optimizer-webp-avif. A mismatched folder means the text
  domain no longer matches its directory, and an update served outside WordPress.org would land
  in a second directory alongside the first. The product slug is corrected; no plugin code
  changed.

1.0.23

• Deleting the plugin can now clean up after itself. It previously had no uninstall routine
  at all, so its options stayed in your database forever with no way to remove them. A new
  Data & uninstall control on the plugin’s own screen lets you opt in to a full cleanup; the
  default is to keep everything, so nothing changes unless you ask for it.

1.0.22

• Fixed: the admin screen could come up completely blank with only “Internal error.” above
  it. The plugin keeps its conversion queue in your browser’s storage, and it opened that
  storage before drawing anything. If the browser refused — which it does when the disk is
  full or the browser profile is damaged — start-up stopped dead and the entire screen was
  replaced by the browser’s own two-word message. WordPress then moved that message to the top of
  the page, away from the plugin, so there was nothing left to look at and nothing saying which
  plugin had failed.
• Browser storage is now optional. If it is unavailable the queue is switched off and clearly
  explained — what failed, that it is your browser rather than your site, and what to do
  about it — while Settings, Insights and your plan keep working normally.
• Start-up failures now name the plugin and stay on screen instead of being relocated away from it.
• The readme never listed the Pro features. Seven Pro capabilities ship in this plugin and
  the WordPress.org listing described none of them, so nobody reading the page could learn a paid
  tier existed or what it does. Added: AVIF output, automatic <picture> delivery, keep-originals
  with single and bulk restore, auto-queue for new uploads, the Media Library status column,
  savings reports with CSV export, and per-format quality control.
• Corrected the free feature list, which advertised Pro <picture> delivery among the free
  capabilities.
• Tested up to WordPress 7.1. The readme still declared 7.0, which Plugin Check reports as an
  ERROR: a plugin not documented against the current WordPress version is excluded from
  WordPress.org search results.

1.0.21

• Fixed: the License screen listed the plans and their prices but had no way to buy one.
  There was no upgrade button and no link to compare plans anywhere on it — the checkout URL
  was already available to the screen and simply was not rendered.
• Fixed: stale copy. The screen told you that “license activation and checkout will be
  connected through the future Freemius integration”. That has been wired for months. It now
  explains what actually happens on a lapse: images you have already converted keep working
  and nothing is deleted, while new Pro actions pause until the licence is renewed.

1.0.20

• Savings Dashboard now shows the debug diagnostics log. The log was being recorded and
  returned by the reports endpoint but never displayed, so nobody could read it. It now
  appears under the savings table, with a “Copy diagnostics” button (clipboard, falling back
  to a JSON download).
• Removed the “WooCommerce product priority” Pro checkbox. It saved a value that nothing
  read — the queue was never reordered by it — and the licence screen advertised it. The
  WooCommerce feature that IS built, product labels in the queue, is unchanged and the
  licence copy now describes that instead.

1.0.19

• Security: only a licence unlocks Pro. Three leftover developer switches could turn Pro
  features on without one — including a hook any other plugin on the site could call. All three
  are removed.
• Harvify → Tools now opens with a Your licences table: every installed Harvify plugin,
  the plan it is on, whether Pro features are actually running, and a link to its Account screen.
  Freemius gives each product its own separate Account page, so this is the one place that
  answers “what am I on” across the whole bundle.
• The repeated “Opt in to make … better!” admin notice no longer appears. Licence, plan and
  update notices are unaffected — only the opt-in prompt is suppressed.

1.0.18

• Change: License activation now uses per-plugin key entry — enter your bundle license key on each Pro plugin to unlock Pro. Improves activation reliability.

1.0.17

• New: “Optimize now” in the Media Library (free). JPEG/PNG rows get a real in-place optimize action — the image converts to WebP right in your browser with the same engine as the bulk optimizer and replaces the file, showing the savings inline. No more page hop.
• New: PNG → JPEG preset (free). One click in the optimizer sets PNG-to-JPEG conversion — photos exported as PNG shrink massively as JPEG (transparency is flattened). The JPEG target is now labeled “JPEG (compress / convert PNG)”.
• New: resize on upload (free, off by default). Downscale new JPEG/PNG/WebP uploads that exceed a configurable maximum dimension (default 2560px) before WordPress generates sizes. Aspect ratio preserved; GIF animations never touched; existing images unchanged.

1.0.16

• New admin design system (Harvify Admin Kit): branded header with plan pill, first-run onboarding, section navigation (Optimizer, Insights, Settings, Plan/Upgrade) and a skeleton loader on start. UI layer only — the in-browser conversion engine, queue, settings and free/Pro gating are unchanged.

1.0.15

• Fix: Pro features now unlock only on the premium build with a valid license (per-plugin gate). Previously “Pro mode active” could show with no license / on the free build when another Harvify plugin was licensed.

1.0.14

• Admin menu now registers on init (fixes a “translation loaded too early” notice under WordPress 6.7+).

1.0.13

• Pricing now sourced from the shared bundle-license package; upgrade prompts link to the pricing page.

1.0.1 – 1.0.12

• Foundational releases building on the initial version: browser-based bulk conversion engine (Web Workers + OffscreenCanvas, IndexedDB queue that resumes after the tab is closed), one-source-format-at-a-time Media Library scanning, small test-run selection before the full queue, skip rules (small files, very large images, upload paths, filename patterns), adjustable quality and queue concurrency, authenticated REST upload-back of converted images, optional original-file deletion (off by default), and front-end lazy-loading.
• Added the Freemius-based free/Pro framework and Pro sidecar-variant delivery via PHP picture tags.
• Various stability, browser-compatibility, and internationalization fixes.

1.0.0

• Initial release.
