Changelog

1.0.8

The review prompt now waits for real usage: it only appears on the plugin screens, once at least five posts have been rescheduled from the calendar, and it states how many.

1.0.7

Removed the bundled translation files (.po/.mo) from the package; translations are delivered automatically through translate.wordpress.org.

1.0.6

Unified all PHP, option, hook and JavaScript global names under a single tidy_content_planner prefix to prevent conflicts with other plugins.

1.0.5

Hardening: REST endpoints now restrict listings and stats to posts the current user can edit, and enforce the proper capabilities before assigning privileged statuses (publish, scheduled, private) or reassigning authors.
The uncompiled JavaScript source (src/) and package.json are now included in the plugin, with build instructions in the readme.

1.0.4

Removed an unused isPremium flag from the calendar config (no functional change).

1.0.3

WordPress.org coding-standards hardening: translators comment for an i18n placeholder (Plugin Check compliance).

1.0.2

Removed the load_plugin_textdomain() call; translations are now loaded automatically by WordPress.org since WP 4.6.

1.0.1

Free release: removed all licensing UI; Pro features now ship as a separate companion plugin.
Added action hooks tidy_content_planner_settings_top and tidy_content_planner_settings_after_form for extensibility.

1.0.0

Initial release
