Changelog

v1.0.0 (2026-05-24)

Initial public release.

  • First WordPress.org plugin directory submission under the slug steadyscore.
  • Local scoring engine — six weighted factors (maintenance, security history, support, compatibility, install base, author reputation) producing a 0–100 score and a Trusted / Acceptable / Caution / Warning / Critical / N/A tier per plugin.
  • Five scoring paths — WordPress.org (Path 1), premium-to-free proxy mapping (Path 2), CodeCanyon enrichment (Path 3, Pro), SteadyPress data service enrichment (Path 4, Pro), and source-code analysis for custom plugins (Path 5, Pro).
  • Dashboard with sortable / filterable table, configurable visible columns, drag-to-reorder columns, and CSV export.
  • Detail slide-over with per-factor breakdown, vulnerability list, plugin metadata, and (Pro) AI recommendation.
  • Optional Wordfence Intelligence vulnerability lookups using a user-supplied Wordfence API key — no requests until a key is saved.
  • Action Scheduler integration for chunked, polite background work (initial population, background refresh, author-reputation recalculation, pruning).
  • REST API under /wp-json/steadyscore/v1/ — settings, license, status polling, data deletion, and the Pro endpoints for AI analysis, monitoring settings, and Google Sheets export.
  • Six custom database tables created via dbDelta with full uninstall cleanup.
  • Bundled in-admin user manual at SteadyScore → Help.
  • Self-hosted Plus Jakarta Sans, Source Sans 3, and JetBrains Mono fonts — no requests to Google Fonts or any third-party CDN.
  • Renamed during the submission cycle from PluginScore to SteadyScore because the WordPress.org automated naming check rejects "plugin" as a substring in plugin names. The internal prefix, namespace, options, hooks, tables, and translation files all moved to the new name in a single coordinated release.
  • Pro tier: HMAC-SHA256 signed requests to the SteadyPress API and EDD Software Licensing-based activation with idempotent re-activation handling. AI analysis is delivered through the SteadyPress-managed provider and is included in every Pro subscription.

Compatibility

  • Tested on WordPress 6.5 through 6.9.
  • Requires PHP 8.0 or newer.
  • Tested clean against the official WordPress Plugin Check 1.9.0 — zero errors, zero trademark warnings; the 117 WordPress.DB.PreparedSQL warnings are expected and benign (see Troubleshooting for the explanation).

Known limitations at launch

  • No "refresh now" button in the admin. Refresh is driven by cache TTLs and lifecycle events; to force a re-run, deactivate and reactivate the plugin.
