What has shipped

Every release, and what changed in it. The current version is 1.4.1.

1.4.1

Current

The chapter list loads on a cached site. The Contents panel in the reader, the chapter list on a novel and the two homepage load more buttons refused any request whose nonce did not verify, and a nonce lives at most 24 hours while a page cache keeps a page for as long as it is told: on a site caching for a week, every visitor served that page after the first day was told “Could not load the chapter list”, while it worked throughout for the owner, who is never served that cached copy. All four read the same public lists whether the nonce verifies or not; everything that writes keeps its hard check.
The chapter list is quicker on a novel selling early access: the rule is asked about the novel once per page rather than once per row.

Sell early access to scheduled chapters: a fifth access rule, on the site defaults and on each novel. A chapter scheduled for the 25th is listed at once, locked, with a countdown; a reader with coins reads it now; on the 25th it publishes as it always would and is free for everybody. Nothing is published early and no date is changed.
The plugins that ship with the theme appear as ordinary plugin updates, on Dashboard, Updates and the Plugins screen, installed from the copy inside the theme. A theme update also updates them in the same step, which can be switched off on Install Plugins.
The Customize button in the admin bar opens the Customizer at the top level as it does on any WordPress site, and hovering it lists the sections for the page you are on.
The comments icon in the chapter reader carries the number of comments, and updates when one is posted.
Community counts what is waiting, on the menu: novel requests nobody has answered and takedown notices nobody has reviewed. The overview adds a seven-day row of new readers, comments and purchases.
With email confirmation on, the Readers table marks and filters readers who have not confirmed, and offers Resend confirmation link and Mark email confirmed.
A chapter that is scheduled and paid now says that scheduling hides it from everyone until its date, paid or not.

Repair payments: a screen under Monetization, listed only while a Ko-fi payment is waiting, that opens the payment beside a searchable table of your readers and credits the one you pick; a coins box prices a payment the site could not; dismissed payments can still be credited.
The Ko-fi card reports the last delivery Ko-fi made and what became of it, and names a web address pasted into the Verification Token box instead of saying "Connected".
A coin package can be sold as a Ko-fi shop item at a fixed price, nothing for the reader to type; packages without an item keep the tip page. The buyer lands back in their wallet.
A Ko-fi tip that covers a package buys it, plus the change; an amount too small to credit is held for you rather than refused.
Latest Novels can be ordered by latest updated as well as latest added; the Library gets a Default Sort and a Recently Updated sort; "Updated ... ago" means the newest chapter.
Webhook and checkout return addresses are handed out over https whenever the site answers over it, even where the WordPress Address still reads http.

A Ko-fi Username pasted as the page address no longer sends readers to Ko-fi's 404; the name is taken out of whatever was typed, and the card shows where readers are sent.
The wallet tells Ko-fi buyers the whole-dollar figure Ko-fi accepts, and matches it back to the package.
A coin package must cost at least $1.00, the lowest price every gateway accepts; a cheaper one is marked "Not for sale".
The Stripe card names a key pasted into the wrong box.

Theme Options saves again: since 1.3.3 the Save button did nothing on a site that had never touched the Upload Size Limit field. The field is gone; member pictures are accepted up to 10 MB or the server's limit.
A field the browser refuses on a closed tab opens its tab so the reason is on screen.
Chapters that free themselves are purged from SiteGround's Speed Optimizer cache.

The account sidebar and header badge show a reader's Gravatar when no picture is chosen in the theme.

System windows in chapters: level up, status, quest, skill, item, warning and world announcement presets, notification lines, seven tones, Screen or Card look, per site or per novel.
A novel written with the quote button for system text can switch every quote to a window once.
Footnotes with a tooltip and a list at the end of the chapter; pasted notes get the same look.
Code blocks in chapters wrap and follow the reader's font size.
Header Branding: logo and title, logo only, or title only. Title size in three steps, fitting itself on phones.
A Site Banner: announcements or custom cards under the header or among the homepage sections, with dates, audience and a close readers can use.
A support link for your tip jar, shown where you choose, plus a Support Banner section and widget.
Members can upload a profile picture; staff can take one down.
Guest comments become a reader's own when they confirm their email.
Get Started asks which starter genres to keep.
Ads from Ad Inserter and AdSense respect supporters.
The wallet links to Report an issue; announcements open in a full-width card; DMCA and report pages line up their breadcrumb.

Updates arrive in the WordPress dashboard while a licence is active. See the licence terms for what happens when one expires.
