    Frontend booking form

1.0.7

• Added capability and nonce verification to the admin calendar bookings AJAX endpoint, ensuring requests include a valid nonce and proper permissions.

1.0.6

• Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 6.9. No code changes.

1.0.5

• Improved redirect security (wp_safe_redirect and nonce checks).
• Improved price handling in the availability results: bicycles now display the correct rental cost directly on each card, using hourly or daily rates based on the selected rental type.
• Added currency symbol support, including a reusable helper that respects the option used in the Pro version and remains fully filterable.
• Introduced a new currency selector in the general settings, with validation of supported values and full compatibility with future Pro features.
• Updated the frontend grid layout to highlight the new price row for better clarity and user experience.
• Ensured the selected currency symbol is correctly applied when calculating and returning prices in the frontend availability AJAX response.
• Added a styled confirmation button in the booking confirmation email, replacing the plain link for a clearer and more user-friendly experience.

1.0.4

• Corrected use of the wp_mail_content_type filter in simpbire_invia_notifica: replaced the anonymous closure with a named callback (simpbire_set_html_mail_content_type) and removed the filter using the same reference, preventing the text/html content type from persisting for subsequent emails.
• Fixed the incorrect remove_filter('wp_mail_content_type', '__return_true'), which did not remove the actually registered callback.

1.0.3

• Added CSV export feature to download reservations filtered by status, rental type, and date range.

1.0.2

• Confirmation emails are now sent in HTML format instead of plain text, providing improved formatting and clickable links.
• Added filters simpbire_email_subject and simpbire_email_message to allow developers to customize the subject and content of confirmation emails.
• Minor formatting adjustments in email content to prevent multi-line link display in some email clients.

1.0.1

• Corrected all plugin strings to use English as the original language (required for proper translation on WordPress.org).
• Updated the .pot file accordingly.

1.0.0

• Initial stable release.
• Added created_at column to the simpbire_reservations table for better tracking of reservation creation time.
• Prepared code alignment with the Pro version.
• Admin interface to manage bicycles and reservations.
• Frontend booking form with hourly and daily options.
• Calendar integration to show bike availability.
• Dynamic bike availability based on selected dates.
• Email notifications for both users and admins.
• Localization-ready strings for translations.
