## Historial de cambios

#### 2.2.8

 * Fixed: Hero grid area assignments (e.g. image 4 spanning 2 columns) and per-gallery
   JS config were missing for logged-out visitors on cached page loads. The transient-
   cache fast path in `render_shortcode` returned the cached HTML without re-running`
   wp_add_inline_style()` / `wp_add_inline_script()`, so anyone hitting the cache
   received markup without the per-gallery grid CSS or the `window.luxe_gallery_config_*`/`
   window.luxe_gallery_all_images_*` globals. Per-gallery CSS and JS are now emitted
   as `<style>` / `<script>` tags inside the cached HTML output, so they survive
   every cache path (page cache, object cache, LiteSpeed CSS combine).

#### 2.2.7

 * Mobile slider: Fixed image bottom corners appearing sharp while top corners rounded—
   the `.luxe-gallery-image-wrapper` had no height, so the image rendered at its
   intrinsic aspect and left a bare edge above the slider’s rounded bottom. Wrapper
   now stretches to fill the slide.
 * Mobile slider: Pagination dots moved onto a translucent pill (`backdrop-filter:
   blur(6px)`) so white/black dots stay legible on any image background — sky, shadow,
   pool water — without drifting off-scene.
 * Mobile slider: Pagination now caps at 3 visible dots (prev / current / next) 
   with a sliding window — fixes an accessibility issue where 10+ dots crowded together
   on long galleries and became indistinguishable.
 * Mobile slider: Fixed a long-standing specificity bug where the `.luxe-gallery-
   container button` reset zeroed out pagination-dot padding and margin, collapsing
   the intended touch area. Dots now use a ::before overlay for a 38×38 hit zone(
   exceeds WCAG 2.5.8 AA 24×24) while the visible dot stays 10 px and the pill stays
   compact.
 * Mobile slider: Increased visual spacing between dots (12 px gap) so adjacent 
   targets are distinguishable on touch.
 * Mobile slider: “Show all N photos” button no longer wraps to two lines on narrow
   phones (iPhone SE, 375 px) — added `white-space: nowrap` and `max-width: calc(
   100% - 32px)`.

#### 2.2.6

 * Admin UI: Fixed icon-to-label spacing on “Add Images” and “Remove Category” buttons—
   they now raise specificity above WP core `.button` so flex gap wins regardless
   of stylesheet load order.
 * Admin UI: Image “remove” control expanded to a 44×44 px hit area (WCAG 2.5.5)
   via content-box padding + background-clip; the visible pill stays compact and
   the control is now always visible on touch devices and on keyboard focus.
 * Admin UI: Replaced every inline `style="…"` in the media meta box (Videos, Floor
   Plan, Before/After) with reusable classes — destructive buttons route through
   a single `.luxe-remove-btn` token that respects `--luxe-admin-danger`.
 * Admin UI: Removed ~10 duplicate CSS selector blocks that made cascade behavior
   brittle; margins and paddings from the old rules are preserved in the consolidated
   versions.
 * Admin UI: Merged two colliding `@media (max-width: 768px)` blocks and fixed an
   unreachable `flex-direction: column` on a CSS grid parent — the grid editor now
   correctly collapses to a single column on mobile.
 * Accessibility: Admin body-text secondary color upgraded from #a0a5aa (2.3:1, 
   fail) to #646970 (4.56:1, pass WCAG AA). Three other grey-on-white contrast failures
   on remove-links and empty-state text now use the same token.
 * i18n: Empty-state hints (“No categories yet…”, “Drop images here…”) moved from
   hard-coded CSS strings to translatable PHP via `data-empty-text` attributes.

#### 2.2.5

 * Security: AI custom endpoint URL now validated against an http(s) allowlist; 
   outbound calls refuse loopback/private/reserved IPs to block SSRF.
 * Security: PDF export and original-download AJAX endpoints now require edit_post/
   read_post on the specific gallery instead of a generic site-wide capability.
 * Security: Gallery password sessions default to 2-hour lifetime (filterable via`
   luxe_gallery_password_session_lifetime`) and uninstall now scrubs cache-version
   and floor-plan hotspot meta.
 * Performance: Gallery output cache invalidation now uses per-post version keys,
   so saves invalidate transients on external object caches (Redis, Memcached) without
   enumerating hashed keys.
 * Accessibility: Screen readers now hear a single polite announcement per lightbox
   navigation (“Image 3 of 12, caption”) instead of two separate regions firing.
 * Accessibility: Before/After slider exposes `aria-valuetext` with human-readable
   percentages and labels.
 * Accessibility: Focus rings meet WCAG 2.4.7 — thicker outline plus light contrast
   layer so rings stay visible over dark and light images.
 * Accessibility: Keyboard shortcuts (F/G/?/Home/End) are now scoped to the gallery
   container, preventing cross-gallery conflicts on pages with multiple instances.
 * Accessibility: Lightbox focus trap now includes iframes, links, and custom tabindex
   elements so embedded video controls stay reachable.
 * Accessibility: Decorative icons carry `aria-hidden="true"`; inline `<dialog>`
   on grid/masonry layouts announces as a region, not a dialog.
 * Accessibility: Alt text now prefers `_wp_attachment_image_alt` across every rendering
   path (template, lightbox, floor plan).
 * Accessibility: Plugin ships its own `.screen-reader-text` utility so SR-only 
   text works even on themes that omit it.

#### 2.2.4

 * Fixed: Lightbox caption showing image filename even when “Show image titles” 
   setting is disabled

#### 2.2.3

 * Fixed: Hero grid layout broken — CSS class mismatch (.item-X vs .area-X) caused
   flat grid instead of Airbnb-style 2×2+4 layout
 * Fixed: Lightbox shows blank images when lazy-loading plugin (LiteSpeed/WP Rocket)
   replaces img src with data-URI placeholder
 * Fixed: “Show all photos” dialog empty when gallery has only hero images and no
   categories — now falls back to hero images
 * Fixed: LQIP thumbnail images no longer duplicated in lightbox navigation (aria-
   hidden images filtered out)

#### 2.2.2

 * Full view now uses native HTML dialog element — proper focus trapping, Escape
   key handling, and top-layer rendering
 * Fixed: Plugin settings (colors, gap, border radius, button text) now correctly
   applied on the frontend
 * Fixed: Custom button text setting for “Show all photos” button
 * Fixed: Hero images now included in lightbox navigation (click hero image  opens
   lightbox)
 * Fixed: Critical error on gallery admin list when gallery data stored as array
   instead of JSON
 * Fixed: Data loss when saving gallery with only videos/floor plan but no categories
 * Fixed: Transient key injection in WebP conversion progress handler
 * Fixed: Feature buttons (Video, Floor Plan, Before/After) now visible on mobile
 * Fixed: Layout shortcode parameter (grid/masonry) now respected
 * Fixed: LuxeLightbox and LuxeCompare re-entrant close/destroy crash
 * Fixed: Gutenberg block TypeError on non-block-editor pages
 * Fixed: Uninstall now cleans up all meta keys (videos, floor plan, before/after)
 * Fixed: Transient cache now invalidated when plugin settings change
 * Improved: Hero images with width/height attributes, srcset/sizes, and fetchpriority
   for better Core Web Vitals
 * Improved: Full view focus restoration for accessibility

   WP.org JIT translations can override with incomplete data

   from .pot)
