Changelog

Version 2.0.0

• Rebuilt to match the current azurecurve plugin architecture (namespaced code, settings/menu split across includes files, tabbed admin UI matching Shortcodes in Widgets).
• Fixed a bug where the plugin misused the comments_template filter as if it were an action, risking the comments template failing to load on some sites; shortcode restriction is now applied entirely within the comment_text filter itself.
• Fixed a bug where the allow-list restriction could remain in effect for the rest of the page after a comment was rendered, on any theme/template that doesn't fire dynamic_sidebar().
• Fixed allowed-shortcodes entries with surrounding whitespace (e.g. "b, i, u") not matching correctly, and entries on separate lines not being treated as separators.
• Fixed a PHP warning on a never-configured settings page (defaults weren't actually applied on read).
• Removed the multisite network-wide settings feature (Network Admin > Settings > Shortcodes in Comments and the per-site "Use Network Settings" option) - it was never really supported by ClassicPress and, on top of that, was found to be non-functional in the pre-2.0.0 plugin (the save form posted to the wrong endpoint for the action hook that was registered, so saving network settings silently did nothing). Each site now always uses its own Settings tab.
• Fixed an inefficient plugin_action_links hook so it no longer runs for every plugin on the Plugins list page.
• Replaced the hard-coded "Shortcodes in Widgets" link with a standard, auto-generated Other Plugins tab.
• Added an Instructions tab.
• Added a proper uninstall.php cleanup, consistent with the rest of the azurecurve plugin family.
• BREAKING: minimum PHP requirement raised to 8.2.
• BREAKING: text domain renamed from shortcodes-in-comments to azrcrv-sic; existing translation (.po/.mo) files must be re-supplied under the new domain.
• Update readme.md and remove readme.txt (not required for ClassicPress).
• Update azurecurve menu.
