+* Stabilization release: full code/security audit, compatibility scans, and documentation alignment. Real floors declared: WordPress 4.4+, PHP 8.0+ (previously declared 4.7/7.4).
+* Connection test and catalog fetch now check the HTTP status code — an unauthorized or failing store reports an error instead of "Connected" / an empty catalog (non-200 responses are no longer cached).
+* API-key field validates the key format before storing.
+* Premium plugins are not offered as native updates when no API key is configured (they would only fail with HTTP 403).
+* Domain normalization for premium package URLs strips only the literal `www.` prefix (hosts starting with "w" were mangled).
+* Opt-in uninstall now also purges the WordPress update transient (premium entries carry the API key in their package URL) and drops a phantom option.
