    1.8.3

    Release date: 2026-08-17

    Highlights

    Added

    • Dismissible admin notice on the site and Network Admin Plugins pages when Manager (by ROBOTSTXT) is not installed and active, linking to https://www.robotstxt.software/plugins/robotstxt-manager/ (dismissible per user; re-appears if the Manager is later removed).
    • Permanent (non-dismissible) notice on the site and network Settings pages while Manager is not available.
    • Update URI plugin header pointing to https://www.robotstxt.software/plugins/robotstxt-mediaaudit/.
    • Header tests now also cover Plugin URI, Update URI, Author, Author URI, Contributors, contributor ordering, and absence of self-updater artifacts.

    Fixed

    • The dismissible Manager notice now also renders on the Network Admin plugins page (screen base plugins-network), not only on site-level Plugins.
    • uninstall.php now always removes the per-user notice-dismissal user meta (UI state, not user data).

    Changed

    • Plugin URI and Author URI now point to www.robotstxt.software; robotstxt is listed first in the Contributors headers.
    • bin/preflight.sh allowlist updated: update.json and robotstxt-updater.php are forbidden in the release ZIP.
    • Dev tooling updated via composer update (PHPCS 3.13.6, WPCS 3.4.1, PHPStan 2.2.8, PHPUnit 9.6.36); PHPStan fix for transient cache typing in the Network Tools status reader.
    • Translations completed for Spanish (es_ES) and Catalan (ca): all fuzzy and untranslated strings through 1.8.2 are now translated (326/326 in both locales).

    Removed

    • Bundled self-updater files robotstxt-updater.php and update.json.
