Release history for Convocept. The plugin's bundled readme.txt keeps only the latest releases; the complete history lives here.

1.0.0

The first release of Convocept: a server-rendered comment system with zero JavaScript on page load.

Added

• Fast comment thread. Comments are rendered in PHP into the page, with no script on page load, no extra requests and no layout shift. The interactive script (under 6 KB gzipped) loads when a reader nears the comments. See Performance.
• Threaded replies with inline reply forms, Load more comments and Show more replies, and comment links that open the right page and highlight the comment.
• Composer with a formatting toolbar, safe Markdown, a live preview and an edit window with a countdown.
• Upvotes and ordering by oldest, newest or most upvoted, and pinned comments.
• Optional live updates that show new comments while the page is open.
• Moderation in the thread (approve, pin, spam, trash) and spam protection without CAPTCHAs: a hidden trap field, a signed timing check and per-visitor rate limits, on top of WordPress's own rules and Akismet.
• Comment subscriptions with double opt-in, one-click unsubscribe, a page to manage subscriptions, background sending, a block and a shortcode.
• Disqus importer with a dry run, resumable batches, duplicate detection and a WP-CLI command.
• Structured data for comments, joining the Yoast SEO and Rank Math graphs when they are active.
• Settings screen under Comments → Convocept.
• Privacy tools: personal data export and erasure for subscriptions and upvotes, suggested privacy policy text, and a choice to store commenters' IP addresses in full, anonymized or not at all.
• Accessibility checked against WCAG 2.2 AA, right-to-left languages, and a translation template.
• Optional deletion of all Convocept data when the plugin is deleted.
