VendBase (formerly WooBase) Version History

* Release Date 15/03/2026 *

* License: Keys beginning with 'vendbase' now validate via Polar.sh (customer-portal API) instead of LemonSqueezy; added activatePolarLicense, validatePolarLicense, isVendbasePolarKey; settings validates Polar keys on load; Polar keys are cleared locally on remove (no deactivate API)
* Settings/License: Fixed race where Polar license briefly showed "Licence Active" then disappeared on refresh - removed on-load validation that cleared the license when the Polar API returned false (network/API errors were incorrectly treated as invalid)
* Update: Pointed plugin updater to https://www.vendbase.io/api/v1/update/latest; aligned structure with snipvault updater; fixed after_update to clear transient; added null-safe handling for optional API sections (changelog); updated requires_php/tested/requires to match API (8.1, 6.7, 6)
* Dashboard: Animated number transitions on stat cards (Products sold, Net sales, Total orders, Total sales, Average order value, Refunds) using VueUse useTransition for smooth count-up effect
* Toolbar/UI: Refined user menu - user info block (avatar, name, email) at top of dropdown, clearer theme section header, rounded hover states on theme options, full-width logout with subtle destructive hover; avatar kept compact (w-6) with ring hover/focus states
* UI/Notifications: Migrated toast notifications from custom component to vue-sonner - toasts now use Sonner with zinc-themed styling, rich colors, and close buttons; notify() and removeNotification() API unchanged for backward compatibility
* Setup/API: Fixed Germanized settings not displaying saved values in app - endpoint now populates each setting's `value` from the database (via WC_Admin_Settings::get_option) so stored values appear correctly after load
* Dashboard: Sales performance chart colors now support light and dark mode (colorLight/colorDark per series)
* Dashboard: Refined Sales performance chart colors - purple/indigo default lines, cohesive palette aligned with design system
* Dashboard: Increased space above sparklines in stat cards (Total sales, Net sales, Total orders, Average order value, Refunds) to twice the previous spacing
* Setup/UI: Added Germanized-aware setup rendering - loads `vendbase/v1/settings/germanized`, provides tab/section navigation, and displays settings grouped by Germanized subsection
* Setup/UI: Fixed Germanized tab/section click navigation state handling and reduced border-heavy styling for a cleaner settings layout
* Setup/UI: Added Germanized field support for `single_select_page(_with_search)` and `gzd_toggle`, rendered `html`/`image` content blocks, and suppressed `hidden` fields to remove unsupported-type warnings
* Setup/Save: Bridged edited Germanized subsection values into the standard `wc/v3/settings/{group}/batch` save flow so Germanized changes save via the same update action
* Setup/Save: Fixed WooCommerce batch save limit by chunking settings updates into groups of 100 items (prevents "Unable to accept more than 100 items" errors)
* Setup/Save: Improved Germanized persistence by sending a minimal `{ id, value }` batch payload derived from edited subsection fields (avoids id-mismatch issues in full-group merges)
* Setup/Routing: Fixed tab-switch lockup by replacing route/state watchEffect loop with guarded route-to-state and state-to-route syncing for `section`
* Setup/API: Added `vendbase/v1/settings/germanized` endpoint to expose Germanized tabs, subsections, and per-subsection settings mapping for structured setup navigation
* Products/Search: Improved product table filtering by omitting unsupported `status=any` and empty stock-status params from `wc/v3/products` requests
* Products/Search: Added variation-SKU parent lookup in REST product search SQL clauses so searching by variation SKU can return the parent product
* Orders/UI: Fixed order item variant links to route to `/products/{product_id}/variants/{variation_id}` instead of incorrectly using product ID for both segments
* Currency: Hardened `formatCurrency()` with strict ISO currency-code resolution and safe `Intl.NumberFormat` fallback behavior for non-USD stores
* Dashboard/UI: Disabled dashboard card drag sorting on touch/coarse-pointer devices to prevent accidental card movement while scrolling on mobile/tablet
* Dashboard/Extensibility: Hardened dashboard-card filter hook usage by guarding `wp.hooks.applyFilters` availability before invoking extension filters
* Integrations/SEO: Expanded SEO provider detection and overview-card availability to include Slim SEO, AIOSEO, and Squirrly SEO
* Products/UI: Added Woo-style product status counter tabs (All, Published, Draft, Pending, Private) with live counts and one-click filtering
* Orders/UI: Matched order status filter to the new counter-tab design used on products, with status counts and one-click filtering for visual consistency
* Orders/Kanban: Persisted "Expand all order details" preference in local storage so the expanded-details behavior can be kept as default between visits
* Custom fields/API: Added generic `vendbase_custom_meta` REST field support for produc
