Change Log

0.3.1

• Bug Fix: Fixed incomplete venues created during initial import — venue creation now deferred to enrichment phase where full address data is available
• Bug Fix: Fixed stale venue associations persisting when a location is removed in CCB
• Enhancement: Two-phase enrichment strategy for CCB events — always enriches new events, then uses modified timestamps to detect changes on subsequent syncs
• Enhancement: Eliminated duplicate API calls during CCB event re-enrichment (single event_profile call instead of two)
• Enhancement: Added session-based venue deduplication to prevent redundant updates when multiple events share a venue
• Enhancement: Added shimmer loading skeleton to settings page while JS bundle loads
• Documentation: Documented CCB event enrichment behavior, the new cp_sync_{$type}_update_item_after action hook, and updated venue/location guidance in the troubleshooting and TEC integration guides
