1.1.8

• WordPress 7.0 and 7.1 compatibility (tested on WordPress 5.0 through 7.1)
• PHP 8.4 / 8.5 hardening
• Fixed a fatal error when the API response did not contain the requested currency
• Fixed a fatal error when an invalid date_timezone was supplied
• Unrecognised shortcode attributes now fall back to the “no result” template instead of failing
• A zero change is no longer shown in the “loss” colour; no movement now makes no colour claim
• Admin menu now uses a plugin-specific slug, so ForexRateAPI and MetalpriceAPI no longer clash when both are active
