Simple History 5.14.0 released

This release adds more filtering options, both in the frontend and in the REST API and WP-CLI. It also contains some bug fixes – and for the adventurous users we have two new experimental features 🚀.

Full changelog

Added

  • Add filter options to the WP-CLI events list command #570
  • Add ungrouped events support for the Log Query API and the REST API. This will get you a list of events without grouping them by occasion. This is useful for getting a simple list of events without the overhead of grouping.
  • Add support for filtering/querying by context in the log query and REST API.
  • Add search filter for initiators. This allows you to filter events by the initiator, e.g. “Web user”, “WordPress user”, “WP-CLI”, “Other”. Support is added the search GUI and to the REST API.
  • Add footer to dashboard widget with links to the blog, support and premium features.
  • Add filters to customize plugin update details. Plugin authors can now add custom information about new features and improvements when their plugins are updated. This is done using the filter simple_history/pluginlogger/plugin_updated_details/{plugin-slug}/{version}. For example, to add custom details for Simple History version 5.14.0, use the filter simple_history/pluginlogger/plugin_updated_details/simple-history/5.14.0 :).
