Änderungsprotokoll

2.2.8

• Fixed: Hero grid area assignments (e.g. image 4 spanning 2 columns) and per-gallery JS config were missing for logged-out visitors on cached page loads. The transient-cache fast path in render_shortcode returned the cached HTML without re-running wp_add_inline_style() / wp_add_inline_script(), so anyone hitting the cache received markup without the per-gallery grid CSS or the window.luxe_gallery_config_* / window.luxe_gallery_all_images_* globals. Per-gallery CSS and JS are now emitted as <style> / <script> tags inside the cached HTML output, so they survive every cache path (page cache, object cache, LiteSpeed CSS combine).

2.2.7

• Mobile slider: Fixed image bottom corners appearing sharp while top corners rounded — the .luxe-gallery-image-wrapper had no height, so the image rendered at its intrinsic aspect and left a bare edge above the slider’s rounded bottom. Wrapper now stretches to fill the slide.
• Mobile slider: Pagination dots moved onto a translucent pill (backdrop-filter: blur(6px)) so white/black dots stay legible on any image background — sky, shadow, pool water — without drifting off-scene.
• Mobile slider: Pagination now caps at 3 visible dots (prev / current / next) with a sliding window — fixes an accessibility issue where 10+ dots crowded together on long galleries and became indistinguishable.
• Mobile slider: Fixed a long-standing specificity bug where the .luxe-gallery-container button reset zeroed out pagination-dot padding and margin, collapsing the intended touch area. Dots now use a ::before overlay for a 38×38 hit zone (exceeds WCAG 2.5.8 AA 24×24) while the visible dot stays 10 px and the pill stays compact.
• Mobile slider: Increased visual spacing between dots (12 px gap) so adjacent targets are distinguishable on touch.
• Mobile slider: „Show all N photos“ button no longer wraps to two lines on narrow phones (iPhone SE, 375 px) — added white-space: nowrap and max-width: calc(100% - 32px).

2.2.6

• Admin UI: Fixed icon-to-label spacing on „Add Images“ and „Remove Category“ buttons — they now raise specificity above WP core .button so flex gap wins regardless of stylesheet load order.
• Admin UI: Image „remove“ control expanded to a 44×44 px hit area (WCAG 2.5.5) via content-box padding + background-clip; the visible pill stays compact and the control is now always visible on touch devices and on keyboard focus.
• Admin UI: Replaced every inline style="…" in the media meta box (Videos, Floor Plan, Before/After) with reusable classes — destructive buttons route through a single .luxe-remove-btn token that respects --luxe-admin-danger.
• Admin UI: Removed ~10 duplicate CSS selector blocks that made cascade behavior brittle; margins and paddings from the old rules are preserved in the consolidated versions.
• Admin UI: Merged two colliding @media (max-width: 768px) blocks and fixed an unreachable flex-direction: column on a CSS grid parent — the grid editor now correctly collapses to a single column on mobile.
• Accessibility: Admin body-text secondary color upgraded from #a0a5aa (2.3:1, fail) to #646970 (4.56:1, pass WCAG AA). Three other grey-on-white contrast failures on remove-links and empty-state text now use the same token.
• i18n: Empty-state hints („No categories yet…“, „Drop images here…“) moved from hard-coded CSS strings to translatable PHP via data-empty-text attributes.

2.2.5

• Security: AI custom endpoint URL now validated against an http(s) allowlist; outbound calls refuse loopback/private/reserved IPs to block SSRF.
• Security: PDF export and original-download AJAX endpoints now require edit_post / read_post on the specific gallery instead of a generic site-wide capability.
• Security: Gallery password sessions default to 2-hour lifetime (filterable via luxe_gallery_password_session_lifetime) and uninstall now scrubs cache-version and floor-plan hotspot meta.
• Performance: Gallery output cache invalidation now uses per-post version keys, so saves invalidate transients on external object caches (Redis, Memcached) without enumerating hashed keys.
• Accessibility: Screen readers now hear a single polite announcement per lightbox navigation („Image 3 of 12, caption“) instead of two separate regions firing.
• Accessibility: Before/After slider exposes aria-valuetext with human-readable percentages and labels.
• Accessibility: Focus rings meet WCAG 2.4.7 — thicker outline plus light contrast layer so rings stay visible over dark and light images.
• Accessibility: Keyboard shortcuts (F/G/?/Home/End) are now scoped to the gallery container, preventing cross-gallery conflicts on pages with multiple instances.
• Accessibility: Lightbox focus trap now includes iframes, links, and custom tabindex elements so embedded video controls stay reachable.
• Accessibility: Decorative icons carry aria-hidden="true"; inline <dialog> on grid/masonry layouts announces as a region, not a dialog.
• Accessibility: Alt text now prefers _wp_attachment_image_alt across every rendering path (template, lightbox, floor plan).
• Accessibility: Plugin ships its own .screen-reader-text utility so SR-only text works even on themes that omit it.

2.2.4

• Fixed: Lightbox caption showing image filename even when „Show image titles“ setting is disabled

2.2.3

• Fixed: Hero grid layout broken — CSS class mismatch (.item-X vs .area-X) caused flat grid instead of Airbnb-style 2×2+4 layout
