Pro changelog
Pro 1.4.3
1.4.3 2026-09-27
Fixed
- Restored reliable access to every settings tab when AI product enrichment is enabled.
- Moved AI product settings and research into a normal plugin tab, removed the separate admin submenu, and kept research submissions separate from settings saves.
- Recognized the MAIDOT Free package when deactivating Lite during Pro activation.
1.4.2 2026-09-27
Added
- Added Pro-only AI product enrichment by SKU or barcode, with live web research, source-backed CSV export, selected-field product updates, status filtering, and opt-in validated image import.
- Added automatic one-product-at-a-time enrichment with a durable catalog cursor, daily request cap, refresh interval, scheduled worker, and server-cron support.
- Added a locked AI product enrichment preview to the Lite feature catalog.
1.4.1 2026-09-23
Changed
- Changed the plugin publisher and update metadata to MAIDOT and the support contact to suporte@maidot.pt.
Fixed
- Refresh due licenses on ordinary site traffic as a fallback when WP-Cron is delayed, preventing quiet/demo sites from crossing the seven-day offline grace period without a validation attempt.
- Preserve a stable installation identity across local credential resets so reactivation does not consume or create another logical site seat.
- Show the next verification time and the last safe validation error code on the license screen for actionable diagnosis.
1.4.0 2026-09-22
Added
- Added tenant-safe Company Accounts with buyer roles, invitations, company switching, cost centres, and shared purchasing data.
- Added Contract Price Books with company assignments, quantity breaks, precedence controls, and customer SKU aliases.
- Added Purchase Approvals with immutable line snapshots, versioned state transitions, authorization chains, and audit events.
- Added Quotes and Negotiation with immutable revisions, customer/internal messages, expiry, private documents, quote PDFs, and idempotent order conversion.
- Added Trade Credit with company limits, payment terms, short-lived checkout reservations, immutable exposure ledgers, and durable order reconciliation.
- Added Sales Representatives with assigned-company access, attributed on-behalf purchasing, idempotent commission records, and a bounded company-scoped commission cockpit with per-currency net summaries.
- Added Smart Replenishment with saved purchasing templates, schedules, bounded dispatch, and materialized reorder suggestions.
- Added Available-to-Promise Inventory with multi-source balances, inbound supply, safety stock, promises, atomic reservations, and order/refund/cancellation reconciliation.
- Added ERP/PIM/CRM integration foundations with external identifiers, versioned messages, signed webhooks, leases, retries, and tenant-scoped REST resources under
hpb2b/v1. - Added PunchOut and EDI foundations with trading-partner credentials, one-use cXML sessions, allowlisted cart return, canonical procurement documents, and bounded CSV/X12 adapters.
- Added AI PO Autopilot for pasted orders and validated TXT/CSV uploads, plus safe local DOCX extraction and optional-parser PDF extraction; drafts are processed asynchronously and always require customer review before cart or approval submission.
- Added provider adapters for OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, and xAI Grok, with per-provider encrypted credentials, fixed HTTPS endpoints, strict canonical output validation, and no silent provider failover.
- Added
tests/run-pro-smoke.ps1, a fail-collecting sequential runner for all 21 Pro smoke suites, including default-off enterprise bootstrap and lifecycle-recovery coverage.
Security
- Enforced company-scoped authorization, nonces, optimistic concurrency, idempotency keys, immutable audit records, and bounded indexed queries throughout the enterprise workflows.
- Restricted contract-pricing administration, trade-credit configuration, sales-representative administration, and ATP inventory writes to store managers while allowing tenant administrators to manage only their company’s integration connections.
- Authorized approval replays before returning idempotent results, and bound on-behalf trade-credit processing to the live representative, selected company, customer, order, and current permissions.
- Added atomic AI admission budgets at user, company, and provider scope; anonymous-client denial; fail-closed invalid-provider handling; context-bound secret encryption; strict pre-parser, upload, MIME, content, response, and retained-storage limits; immutable draft company context; recoverable leases; race-safe tombstones; and feature-gated approval conversion.
- Added HMAC webhook verification, replay rejection, exact HTTPS origin allowlists, SSRF-resistant outbound delivery, hashed bearer tokens, XXE-safe bounded cXML parsing, and fail-closed integration rate limits.
- Preserved queued PO, integration, inventory, credit, and lifecycle recovery work across feature pauses and temporary entitlement outages without silently creating orders or consuming AI attempts.
Changed
- Kept every new enterprise module opt-in for new and upgraded stores; enabling a dependent module also enables Company Accounts, and PunchOut/EDI also requires the Integrations foundation.
- Added a default-off enterprise bootstrap fast path and a permanent non-autoloaded lifecycle marker so untouched storefront requests avoid enterprise runtime loading while previously used modules retain recovery hooks.
- Extended classic and Blocks checkout with company snapshots and sales-representative attribution; Blocks trade credit no longer exposes exact credit limits or remaining capacity.
- Made inventory authority exclusive per product: authoritative ATP records cannot coexist with WooCommerce native stock or HPB2B supplier-stock authority, preventing double counting and overselling.
- Moved high-volume enterprise state to verified InnoDB schemas, bounded workers, leases, deterministic pagination, and Store API bulk payloads suitable for large catalogs.
Fixed
- Preserved the newly inserted inbound-shipment identity across the subsequent ATP availability rebuild so integration imports return and audit the correct record.
- Made stateful procurement and integration regression suites repeat-safe and locale-independent.
- Made the documented consolidated smoke runner resolve its default WordPress root reliably on Windows PowerShell.
1.3.1 2026-09-14
Security
- Updated the bundled Dompdf dependency from 2.0.3 to the verified official 3.1.6 release, closing known upstream file-read, chroot-bypass, file-existence, and resource-exhaustion advisories.
- Disabled PHP QR Code filesystem caches/logs, removed generated artifacts, blocked direct execution of every bundled PHP entry point, and excluded unused demos, bindings, and build tools from release archives.
- Made AI drafting, gift-card redemption, and gift-card PDF request budgets atomic, ownership-token-bound, and fail-closed under concurrent requests without retaining plaintext IP addresses.
- Rejected query-bearing license service and package URLs and removed the unused anonymous favorites mutation route.
- Prevented variations belonging to password-protected products from appearing in bulk-order search.
Changed
- Restricted Dompdf to local embedded assets with remote loading and remote hosts disabled.
- Extended security regression coverage for dependency state, atomic rate limits, protected bulk products, and signed-update URL validation.
1.3.0 2026-09-13
Added
- Added a Pro bulk-order workspace with fast catalog, SKU/GTIN, category, stock, and variation search; an editable draft; and validated multi-line cart insertion.
- Added per-role bulk-order access, a configurable My Account endpoint, and the
[hpb2b_bulk_order]shortcode. - Added an HPOS-compatible "Most purchased" product filter based on WooCommerce order lookup tables.
- Added optional AI-assisted text-order parsing through the OpenAI Responses API with Structured Outputs, encrypted API-key storage, request throttling, and explicit review of matched and unresolved lines.
Changed
- Updated the plugin developer identity and contact details.
- Completed and regenerated the European Portuguese translation catalog for all current plugin strings.
1.2.3 2026-09-08
Added
- Added a bounded Lite-to-Pro bridge for legacy settings, B2B roles, applicant metadata, and fixed/bulk product pricing.
Changed
- Preserved Lite configuration in Pro’s canonical option and quantity-pricing schemas so upgrading does not require reconfiguration.
1.2.2 2026-09-08
Fixed
- Automatically provisioned verification-document storage in the closest secure hosting path, while preserving existing private storage and removing the confusing technical activation notice.
1.2.1 2026-09-05
Added
- Declared tested compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage and Cart/Checkout Blocks.
- Added a read-only license-service identity test that compares the live server algorithm and public-key fingerprint with the immutable key bundled in Pro.
Changed
- Replaced offset/meta-query birthday and affiliate maintenance scans with bounded, primary-key cursor batches.
- Made database upgrades schema-aware and idempotent, including explicit verification of every required custom table and index.
- Delayed the main plugin bootstrap until
initso translated defaults and notices are not requested before WordPress is ready.
Fixed
- Fixed the WooCommerce incompatible-feature warning caused by missing compatibility declarations.
- Fixed Pro activation failures when a customer build was pinned to an obsolete signing algorithm/key by rebuilding against the production RSA-SHA256 identity.
- Fixed duplicate-index and already-existing-table errors during upgrades from earlier releases.
- Fixed a large-store birthday worker path that could time out inside
WP_User_Query.
1.2.0 2026-09-04
Security
- Replaced dynamic virtual-meta SQL with an exact table/column allow-list and prepared identifiers.
- Protected gift-card PDFs with random bearer tokens, purchaser/redeemer/capability checks, bounded rendering, and local-only assets; matching an unverified account email no longer grants access.
- Moved business-registration documents to validated private storage outside WordPress and the server document root, with MIME, size, authorization, and fail-closed readiness checks.
- Added capability and nonce enforcement to administrative, AJAX, profile, promotion, and gift-card mutations.
- Added an atomic InnoDB ledger for wallet and points balances, reservations, reversals, expiry, and idempotent order events.
- Hardened affiliate attribution, gift-card issuance/redemption/recovery, CSV output, deterministic birthday jobs, registration upload quotas, and REST replacement operations.
- Added transactional supplier/native-stock reservations with failure-safe partial-refund and cancellation restoration.
- Added whole-unit storefront license caps (100 per line), 20-key idempotent issuance batches, bounded recovery for legacy/programmatic lines through 1,000 units, and fail-visible handling for invalid quantities.
- Made compiled promotion data read-only and generation-checked, with immediate fail-closed invalidation after relevant catalog mutations.
- Removed public plugin logging and direct
wp-config.phpmutation.
Added
- Signed commercial license activation and update client with mandatory production key pinning, encrypted bearer-token storage, offline grace, strict response schemas, POST-body one-use downloads, and SHA-256 package verification.
- Private license manager with encrypted/HMAC-protected credentials, atomic activation and rate-limit state, trusted-proxy-aware client resolution, immutable checkout term snapshots, and serialized refund/revocation handling.
- Store-local, daylight-saving-safe cron scheduling and cleanup.
- Durable bounded financial, gift-card, and birthday recovery workers, including query-failure retry and scheduler self-healing.
- Regression smoke tests for licensing and critical commerce/security paths, including injected crash/database-race cases and 101-unit license issuance/refund reconciliation.
Changed
- Refactored bootstrap timing and dependency checks for current WordPress and WooCommerce releases.
- Made destructive legacy catalog automations opt-in for new installations and surfaced a migration review flag.
- Improved composable role/quantity/promotion pricing, Store API compatibility, admin settings validation, accessibility, and cache/lookup invalidation.
- Moved the product, documentation, commercial update, and license API destinations to
wchighperformanceb2b.com.
Fixed
- Fixed duplicate system-product creation, variable/parent synchronization, stale sale metadata, birthday pagination, and multiple undefined-option paths.
- Fixed wallet top-up quantity abuse, repeated order processing, supplier-stock reservation/refund races, partial native-stock reconciliation, invalid-registration quota consumption, and promotion cleanup overwriting merchant sales.
- Fixed interrupted gift-card creation/email/reversal work so the same durable record is recovered without duplicate value.
