Simple History 5.5.0 released: improved event log menu location, and more πŸ’₯

πŸ†• We’re happy to announce the release of Simple History 5.5. The biggest change in this release is the new event log location: nicely and conveniently located in the main menu now.

Look! No more digging to find the event log – it’s available directly at the top menu now!

Changelog

Added

  • Added Simple History to the top level of the admin bar for improved accessibility and visibility. Previously, the plugin was located in the dashboard menu, the settings menu, and contained tools like export and debug scattered across sub-tabs. This change centralizes these tools, making them easier to find and use.
  • Introduced a link to the settings page for users with the Premium add-on, shown in the “events cleared” text. #486
  • Added slotfill SimpleHistorySlotEventActionsMenu to enable future extensions and customizations. #499

Deprecated

  • Deprecated the filter simple_history/admin_location since the event log page now includes sub-pages and cannot be moved.

Changed

  • Updated icons next to menu titles to improve visual clarity and consistency. #517

Fixed

  • Resolved an issue where premium info was displayed below the “clear log” button even when the Premium add-on was installed.
  • Various internal code enhancements and optimizations.
