 == Changelog ==
 
+= 1.1.0 =
+
+_Release date: 2026-03-02_
+
+**Fixed**
+
+* `mlp_migrator_log` (the plugin's own table) was incorrectly listed in the System Status as an MLP2 table requiring renaming. It is now excluded from `get_original_tables()` as it already was from `rename_to_backup()`.
+
+**Changed**
+
+* MLP2 sitemeta keys (`inpsyde_multilingual*`) are now **renamed** to `mlp2bak_inpsyde_multilingual*` during the table preparation step, instead of being deleted. This makes the operation fully reversible.
+* Restoring original table names (`Restore original table names`) now also restores the original sitemeta key names.
+* Cleanup step (Step 6, "Delete MLP2 network settings") now also deletes the backed-up `mlp2bak_inpsyde_multilingual*` sitemeta keys alongside the existing `mlp_*` keys.
+
+**Compatibility**
+
+* WordPress: 6.7 – 6.9
+* PHP: 8.2 – 8.5

+
+* MLP2 sitemeta keys (`inpsyde_multilingual*`) are now renamed to `mlp2bak_inpsyde_multilingual*` during table preparation instead of being deleted, making the operation fully reversible.
+* Restoring original table names also restores the original sitemeta keys.
+* Cleanup step (Step 6) now also deletes the backed-up sitemeta keys.
+* Fixed: `mlp_migrator_log` (plugin's own table) was incorrectly listed as an MLP2 table requiring renaming.
