5.25.0 (March 2026)

This release focuses on keeping your database lean. Three features that reduce log storage size are now active for all users: smarter default retention for new installs, failed login rate limiting, and compact diff storage for post content changes.
Read more about it in the release post

Dodano

• Failed login rate limiting is now active for all users, capping logging at 100 consecutive failed attempts to prevent database bloat from brute force attacks.
• Compact diff storage for post content changes is now active for all users, storing only a compact diff instead of full old+new content (up to 99% smaller for typical edits) with automatic fallback when the diff would be larger.
• Search is now faster and more accurate for all users: queries skip occasion grouping for speed and only search relevant context keys from registered loggers instead of scanning all metadata. Previously this was an experimental opt-in feature. Use the „Event metadata” search field in the advanced filters to search all metadata (similar to the old behavior).
• Hover-reveal quick action button on event rows for faster access to event details.
• List of current experimental features shown near the enable toggle in settings.
• „/” keyboard shortcut to focus the search input, with a visual hint badge. Pressing Escape returns focus to the previously focused element.
• Settings and Premium/Get Premium buttons in the top-right header, replacing the Add-ons link.
• Email Reports settings moved to their own sub-tab under Settings for better discoverability.
• Feature discovery bar in the page header showing active features and settings status with dot indicators. Each item links directly to its settings section for quick access. (experimental)
• New installs default to 30-day retention (existing installs keep 60 days), keeping your database lean from day one.

Zmieniono

• Search and filters redesigned into a single compact row with search input, date selector, and action buttons — replacing the previous multi-line layout.
• Expanded filters panel now stacks labels above inputs on smaller screens for better usability.
• History Insights sidebar: today’s data point is now highlighted with a visible dot and the end date shows „(today)” for clarity.
• History Insights sidebar: reduced y-axis clutter on the activity chart for a cleaner look.
• History Insights sidebar: database stats section is now visually separated as footer content with cache freshness info moved into the tooltip.

Naprawiono

• Dashboard widget corners not matching the new rounded style in WordPress 7.0.
• PHP notice on the widget editor screen (widgets.php) caused by the command palette script loading wp-editor on non-post-editor screens.
• Occasion counts in the RSS feed were always zero and never rendered.
• Inverted condition in the GitHub plugin info handler that caused it to always fail.
• „No matching events” empty state text and icon too light to meet WCAG AA contrast requirements.
• Deprecation notice when using Yoast Duplicate Post 4.6, which replaced the dp_duplicate_post and dp_duplicate_page hooks with duplicate_post_after_duplicated.

Security

• Nonce verification added to the GitHub plugin info AJAX handler to prevent CSRF.

5.24.1 (March 2026)

Security

• RSS feed error response no longer exposes the feed secret token in the self-referencing link.

Zmieniono

• Capabilities added to roles are now logged at „notice” level instead of „warning” to reduce unnecessary alarm during routine plugin activations.

Naprawiono

• Role Capability Logger no longer spams the log when plugins (e.g. Astra/Spectra) toggle capabilities on every page load. Changes are now batched per request and only net differences are logged.

Dodano

• User ID displayed as an inline suffix on the name in the user card popover, making it easier to identify users when debugging.

5.24.0 (March 2026)

A redesigned dashboard widget that takes up less space, user details card on click, and much better logging of menus, categories, and image edits.
Read more about it in the release post

Dodano

• User card on avatar and name click, showing name, role, and email with a link to the user profile. The Premium add-on extends the card with login history and recent activity.
• „Copy as image” action in the event menu that captures an event as a shareable image, ready to paste into Slack, social media, or bug reports.
• Site Health Logger that tracks WordPress Site Health test status changes, logging when issues are detected, resolved, or change severity.
• Menu change logging now shows item names, types, renames, moves, order changes, and display location updates instead of just item counts.
• Parent category changes and diff details (name, slug, description, parent) when viewing edited category and tag events.
• Logging when a page is set as the homepage or posts page from the block editor, including the name of the previously assigned page.
• Image edit logging (crop, rotate, flip, scale) in the media logger, including a thumbnail preview.
• Command palette command to view event history for the current post or page.
• „Event metadata” search field in the advanced filters for searching all event data including IP addresses and emails.
• „Clear filters” button to reset all search filters to their default values.
• Rotating tips in the sidebar to help users discover features like RSS feeds, WP-CLI, export, and sticky events.
• User creation and profile update counts in the email digest report, displayed alongside login statistics in the Users section.
• REST API skip_count_query parameter to skip the total count query when pagination info is not needed, improving response time for clients that don’t require total counts.
• Multisite uninstall support, removing tables, options, and cron events across all subsites in the network.
• Compact storage for post content changes (used for creating a diff between the old and new content), reducing database size for large posts (experimental).
• Failed login throttling to protect the database from brute-force attacks — logs the first 100 failed attempts, then automatically skips the rest. Includes an informational notice on both the main event log and the dashboard widget (experimental).
• Role & Capability Logger that tracks when roles are created, deleted, or have their capabilities modified, including which plugin triggered the change (experimental).

Zmieniono

• WP-CLI --user argument renamed to --userid and --exclude_user to --exclude_userid to avoid conflict with WP-CLI’s global --user argument, which caused warnings on newer WP-CLI versions. #629
• Dashboard widget redesigned with an activity stats summary showing event counts for today and last 7 days, and a more compact event list. Loads significantly faster by limiting queries to the last 7 days and skipping the total count query.
• Search now only searches the visible event message text by default, making results more relevant and dramatically faster on sites with large activity logs. Previously, search also scanned all hidden metadata which was slow and returned unexpected matches (experimental).
• Multi-word search now matches each word independently across all searchable fields. For example, „api request 400” now finds events where „api” and „request” appear in the message text and „400” appears in event metadata, instead of requiring all words to exist in the same field (experimental).
• „Show filters” / „Hide filters” toggle replaces „Show search options” / „Collapse search options”.
• Action links (Edit, View, Preview, Revisions) now appear below post events.
• IP address popover redesigned with prominent IP display, AS number links, map service links (Google Maps and OpenStreetMap), and subnet filtering.
• Core file integrity restored log entry now shows how many files are still modified.
• Auto backfill runs on the first admin page load instead of WP-Cron, ensuring it works in more environments.
• Admin bar JavaScript reduced by removing the wp-components dependency, saving ~919 KB on every page load.
• Object caching added to stats queries, preventing duplicate database queries within the same request.

Naprawiono

• False-positive core file integrity warnings on localized WordPress installs (e.g. sv_SE) caused by hardcoded en_US checksums.
• Term names showing backslash before apostrophes when editing categories and tags.
• Incomplete option cleanup on plugin uninstall, leaving orphaned options in the database.
• Three scheduled cron events not cleared during uninstall (database purge, core file integrity check, log file cleanup).
• Missing icon for „Other” initiator type.
• Manual backfill memory error on sites with many users, now processed in batches.

5.23.1 (February 2026)

Naprawiono

• Added backward-compatibility stubs for PHP classes 5.21–5.23, hopefully preventing crashes when updating from those versions. 🤞

5.23.0 (February 2026)

Dodano

• Detection of forced security updates from WordPress.org; shown as „Update method: Security auto-update” in plugin update details.
• Upgrade notices from WordPress.org API in plugin update details.
• Search labels on 11 loggers (Beaver Builder, Duplicate Post, Enable Media Replace, Jetpack, Limit Login Attempts, Redirection, User Switching, WP Crontrol, Privacy, Simple History, Translations) for better filtering in alert rules.
• Granular failed-login filters: „Failed login (wrong password)” for known users and „Failed login (unknown user)” for non-existent usernames, alongside the existing „Failed user logins” option.
• User role (_user_role) in event context for debugging and used by alerts to be able to add rules for specific user roles.
• Notes feature stats (WordPress 6.9+):
  • Statistics in weekly email reports (notes added and resolved).
  • Statistics on History Insights for block editor notes activity.
  • REST API at /wp-json/simple-history/v1/stats/notes.
• Alerts settings page with premium notification teasers (presets and custom rules in Premium).

Zmieniono

• Updated some logger messages to use active voice: e.g. „Was denied access” → „Attempted to access restricted”, „was auto-disabled” → „Auto-disabled”, „Was locked out because” → „Locked out after”, „was updated” → „Updated”.
• Debug tab merged into Help & Support; System Information sits directly under support links.
• Status bar on Help & Support showing plugin version, event count, and retention at a glance.
• System Information extended with PHP Max Input Vars, WP Memory Limit, Child Theme, Theme Author, and User Agent for support debugging.
• Log level for forced security plugin updates is changed from „info” to „notice”, so auto-updates stand out.
• Disable autoload for Available Updates Logger options, so they are only loaded when needed.
• Sub-navigation tabs scroll horizontally on narrow screens instead of wrapping.
• Plugin loading no longer scans the filesystem at startup; loggers and extensions are registered via static class lists for faster, more reliable init.
• Sidebar stats and database purge queries rewritten to use the date index (faster on large tables).
• Log_Query now has a skip_count_query option to omit the total row count when pagination metadata is not needed.
• RSS feed now defaults to last 7 days and skips the count query for better performance. It also has a dates parameter for date filtering (e.g. &dates=lastdays:30).

Naprawiono

• Infinite loop when the Debug & Monitor add-on logged HTTP requests from channels (Webhook, Datadog, Splunk).

5.22.0 (December 2025)

Dodano

• Added exclusion filter support to RSS and JSON feeds, allowing you to subscribe to events while excluding specific users, loggers, messages, or log levels. Useful for monitoring what others do without seeing your own actions.

Naprawiono

• Simplified internal file structure to hopefully fix „Class File_Channel not found” fatal error that some users experienced when updating the plugin.
• Fixed slow appearance of „Stick event to top” and „Unstick event” menu items in the event actions dropdown.

5.21.0 (December 2025)

🔍 Debug like a pro with the new „Surrounding Events” feature — see what happened before and after any event. Plus: Log Forwarding (Beta) lets you send events to external log files, Syslog servers, or external databases for backup and compliance. Also improved: auto-recovery for missing database tables.
Read more about it in the release post

Dodano

• „Show surrounding events” feature to view events chronologically before and after a specific event, useful for debugging to see what happened around a particular event. Available via the event actions menu (administrators only), REST API, and WP-CLI. #610.
• Log Forwarding feature to send events to external destinations for backup, compliance, and security purposes. Includes File Channel for writing events to local log files with automatic rotation. Premium add-on adds Syslog and External Database channels. #573.

• simple_history/db/purge_done action that fires once when purge completes, with total deleted count.
• Helpers::count_events() function for counting events in the database.

Naprawiono

• Database tables not being created when using the plugin as MU plugin, after site duplication (where options are copied but custom tables are not), or during multisite network activation. The plugin now auto-recovers by recreating missing tables when needed. #606.
• IP addresses not showing when expanding grouped similar events.
• Debug page showing „No tables found” when using SQLite (e.g., wp-playground) due to missing dbstat extension.

5.20.0 (December 2025)

Zmieniono

• Improved code quality by resolving phpcs warnings for WordPress VIP Go compatibility.

Naprawiono

5.18.0 (November 2025)

👆 Ta wersja sprawia, że statystyki na pasku bocznym są interaktywne – klikaj awatary, nazwy użytkowników lub daty wykresów, aby natychmiast filtrować dziennik wydarzeń. Naprawiono również raporty e-mail zawsze pokazujące niedzielę jako najbardziej ruchliwy dzień, a także kilka poprawek błędów i ulepszeń.
Przeczytaj więcej na ten temat we wpisie dotyczącym wydania.

Dodano

• Wyszukiwanie kontekstowe w filtrach GUI dziennika.
• Obsługa daty w celu utworzenia punktu końcowego REST API wydarzenia (umożliwia tworzenie wydarzeń dla określonych dat).
• Nazwy użytkowników do listy najbardziej aktywnych użytkowników w ciągu ostatnich 30 dni (wcześniej wyświetlane były tylko awatary).
• Klikalne elementy w oknie statystyk na pasku bocznym: awatary, nazwy użytkowników i daty wykresów filtrują teraz dziennik zdarzeń po kliknięciu.
• Dedykowana strona administratora funkcji eksperymentalnych dla użytkowników z włączonymi funkcjami eksperymentalnymi.
• Nowa funkcja eksperymentalna: importuj istniejące dane z WordPressa do Simple History (wpisy, strony, użytkownicy i załączniki).

Naprawiono

• Raporty e-mailowe zawsze pokazują niedzielę jako najbardziej ruchliwy dzień.
• Ostrzeżenie PHP „Trying to access array offset on value of type null” w rejestrze motywu podczas wyświetlania zdarzeń widżetu.
• Więcej problemów ze strefą czasową i lokalizacją.

Zmieniono

• Cotygodniowe raporty e-mail są teraz wysyłane wcześniej w ciągu dnia (6 rano zamiast 8 rano), dzięki czemu są gotowe, gdy użytkownik się obudzi.
• Zmieniono kolejność statystyk na pasku bocznym: większość aktywnych użytkowników pojawia się teraz przed Dzienną aktywnością, aby pogrupować informacje tylko dla administratorów.
• Różne wewnętrzne ulepszenia i zmiany kodu.

5.17.0 (October 2025)

Wersja koncentruje się na wyrównaniu i dokładności statystyk, poprawkach obsługi strefy czasowej, ulepszeniach raportów e-mail i optymalizacjach wydajności.

Przeczytaj więcej we wpisie dotyczącym wydania.

Dodano

• Add icon to sticky events label.
• Add help text to sidebar stats box about refresh interval and what data is used for the statistics (for admin the stats are based on all events, for other users is based on the events they have permission to view).
• Email reports: Add tooltips to email „Activity by day” showing full date (e.g., „Thursday 2 October 2025”) on hover for each day.
• Email reports: Each day is now a link to the full log for that day.

Naprawiono

• Sidebar stats was not always using the correct cached data.
• Fix timezone and date handling across all stats features (sidebar, Insights page, REST API, charts) and all filter dropdowns (Today, Last N days, custom date ranges, month filters) to use WordPress timezone instead of server/UTC timezone.
• „Today” now correctly shows events from 00:00 until current time (previously showed events from now minus 24 hours).
• Email reports: Fix timezone and date handling issues (now consistently use WordPress timezone), improved daily stats accuracy, date range, and updated email copy.

Zmieniono

• Podgląd wiadomości e-mail pokazuje teraz ostatnie 7 dni, w tym dzień dzisiejszy (pasujący do statystyki „7 dni” na pasku bocznym), dzięki czemu użytkownicy mogą zweryfikować dane podglądu z paskiem bocznym.
• Wiadomości e-mail wysyłane w poniedziałki pokazują teraz cały poprzedni tydzień od poniedziałku do niedzieli (z wyłączeniem bieżącego poniedziałku).
• Wiadomość e-mail „Aktywność według dnia” wyświetla teraz dni w kolejności chronologicznej odpowiadającej zakresowi dat zamiast w ustalonej kolejności tygodni kalendarzowych.
• Zmiana na „Dzisiaj” zamiast „Ostatni dzień” w głównych filtrach GUI, aby było bardziej jasne, jaki zakres jest wyświetlany.

Wydajność

• Poprawiono wydajność poprzez ładowanie komunikatów rejestratora tylko wtedy, gdy są potrzebne, eliminując ~980 wywołań filtra gettext przy każdym ładowaniu strony. Zmniejsza to narzut do zera na stronach, które nie używają prostej historii.
• Zoptymalizowano obsługę kontekstu podczas rejestrowania zdarzeń z wieloma elementami przy użyciu wywołań wsadowych.
• Wtyczka Logger uruchamia teraz tylko filtry gettext i wykrywanie automatycznej aktualizacji na stronie plugins.php zamiast globalnie.
• Uproszczono haki listy akcji wtyczek, łącząc je tylko z naszą wtyczką.
• Dodano automatyczne ładowanie przestarzałych klas, dzięki czemu są one ładowane tylko wtedy, gdy są potrzebne.

Usunięto

• Usunięto starszy punkt końcowy API AJAX (action=simple_history_api). Wtyczka korzysta teraz wyłącznie z interfejsu API REST WordPress.
