= 3.1.1 - February 22nd, 2024 =

This is just a release to retrigger the zip generation on WordPress.org that missed a fix put into the initial 3.1 release tag in SVN.

Pods 3.1 is a security focused release, see below for the changelog information.

= 3.1 - February 21st, 2024 =

*Security Release*

While this release is meant to be as backwards compatible as possible, some aspects of security hardening may require manual intervention by site owners and their developers. There were no known reports and no known attempts to take advantage of the issues resolved by this release except where noted.

Read more about [How access rights work with Pods](https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/access-rights-in-pods/) for more details including new filters/snippets that can provide limited access.

* Security hardening: Introduced new access checks and additional fine-grained control over dynamic features across any place in Pods that allows embedding content or forms. This only applies to usage through Pods Blocks or Shortcodes. Using PHP will continue to expect you are handling this on your own unless you pass the appropriate arguments to the corresponding Pods methods. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Security hardening: Prevent using the Pods Views Block / Shortcode to embed any files outside of the current theme. Props to the Nex Team / Wordfence for responsibly reporting this. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Security hardening: Prevent output of `user_pass`, `user_activation_key`, and `post_password` through Pods dynamic features / PHP. These values will be set in Pods references to `****************` if they were not-empty so you can still do conditional checks as normal. While Scott was already aware of this in pre-planned security release work, additional props go to the Nex Team / Wordfence for responsibly reporting this too. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Security hardening: Prevent more unsavory PHP display callbacks from being used with magic tags in addition to those already prevented. Props to the Nex Team / Wordfence for responsibly reporting this. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Feature: Access rights > Access-related Admin notices and Errors can be hidden by admins in a new setting in Pods Admin > Settings > Security. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Feature: Dynamic Features > Dynamic features (Pods Blocks and Shortcodes) can be disabled by admins in a new setting in Pods Admin > Settings > Security. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Changed: Dynamic Features > New installs will now default to not allowing all SQL arguments to be used by dynamic features. Existing installs will default to only allowing simple SQL arguments. All SQL fragments are checked for disallowed usage like subqueries. This can be set in a new setting in Pods Admin > Settings > Security. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Feature: Pods Display > The Display-related Pods Blocks and Shortcodes have additional checks that limit access to content based on the user viewing it. For Post Types that are non-public, they must have access to the `read` capability from that post type as a normal user. For displaying content from Users, they must have access to `list_users` capability to view that. [Read more about how access rights work with Pods](https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/access-rights-in-pods/) (@sc0ttkclark)
* Feature: Pods Forms > The Pods Form Block and Form Shortcode have additional checks that limit access to creating/editing content based on the user submitting the form. For Post Types that are non-public, they must have access to the 'create' capability from that post type as a normal user. Forms that submit to the Users pod, now require that the submitter must have access to the `create_users` or `edit_users` capability to create or edit that user. [Read more about how access rights work with Pods](https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/access-rights-in-pods/) (@sc0ttkclark)
* Feature: Pods Forms > The Pods Form Block and Form Shortcode now have a new option to identify the form with a custom key you choose that will get passed to various access-related filters so that developers can override access rights more easily. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Feature: Pods Forms > When a user has access to create or edit content through a Pods form for a post type, the `post_content` field is cleaned based on the level of access they have to prevent inserting unintentional shortcodes or blocks. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Feature: Markdown functionality has now been replaced by the [Parsedown library](https://github.com/erusev/parsedown) for better security and performance and it's uniquely prefixed so it prevents future conflicts with plugins using the same library. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Changed: Pods Views > One of the breaking changes in this work is that the Pods Views Block / Shortcode dynamic feature is now disabled by default and must be enabled for new and existing installs. This can be done in a new setting in Pods Admin > Settings > Security. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Changed: Display PHP callbacks > New installs will now default to only allowing specific callbacks to be used. This defaults the specific callbacks allowed to `esc_attr,esc_html` which can be further customized in Pods Admin > Settings > Security. (@sc0ttkclark)

* Feature: Simple Repeatable Fields offers the ability to turn almost any field into a repeatable field. With repeatable fields, you can add multiple values for a field. You can use repeatable fields with the Pods template tag `[each your_repeatable_field]` to easily loop and display information with `{@_value}` Supported field types include: Plain Text, Website, Phone, Email, Password, Date / Time, Date, Time, oEmbed, Plain Paragraph text, WYSIWYG, Plain Number, Currency, and Color Picker. Supported Pod Types include: Post Types (meta-based), Taxonomies (meta-based), Users (meta-based), and Comments (meta-based). #1095 #6304 (@sc0ttkclark, @zrothauser)
* Feature: Register Pods configurations with JSON/YML files in your theme when stored in `pods.json`, `pods/pods.json`, `pods/templates.json`, etc. Custom paths can be registered to support third party plugins as well. Register new paths using `pods_register_config_path( $full_directory_path )` that contain a `/pods/` directory to automatically pull from or use `pods_register_config_file( $full_file_path, 'json' )` to register a specific file. #4856 (@sc0ttkclark)
* Feature: The initial integration for WPGraphQL has been merged from the WPGraphQL Integration Add-On for Pods Pro by SKCDEV.

Pods with non-DB sources currently do not have Edit/Duplicate/Reset Content/Delete links. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Feature: The file field can now support any image, video, or audio mime types that are supported by WordPress. #6577 #6578 (@sc0ttkclark, @JoryHogeveen)

* Fixed: Resolve issues with values that are objects and convert them to arrays for relationship value formatting in DFV field renders. #6566 (@sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: Show the Add Media button in forms that use the post_content field. #6569 (@sc0ttkclark)
* New minimum WP version required: WordPress 5.7+ (previously: WP 5.5+)
* No minimum PHP version changes (currently: PHP 5.6+) but please be aware that PHP 7.2+ will be required for the Pods 3.0+ feature release. You should take the time to update to PHP 8.0+ because there’s major speed improvements to be had 🙂

= 2.8.23 - July 4th, 2022 =

* Fixed: Resolved revision issues when `revisions_to_keep_limit` is set to 0 in the post type. It was supposed to see 0 and use the default revision limit. Instead, it was disabling the revisions for that post type. #6499 (@sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: Resolved potential PHP warnings on certain sites by preparing SQL queries separately from other string processing. #6556 #6555 #6554 (@JoryHogeveen, @sc0ttkclark)

= 2.8.22.1 - July 3rd, 2022 =

* Fixed: Resolve potential PHP errors from Relationship/File field saves by ensuring consistent array structures.

= 2.8.22 - July 3rd, 2022 =

* Tweak: When saving pod items, pre-process tableless field type data consistently to better support table-based storage. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Tweak: When saving pod items, allow filtering the list of processed data values that will be used to do the final save with `pods_api_save_pod_item_processed_data_to_save`. (@sc0ttkclark)

* Tweak: Support custom heading tags for the Heading field in the DFV-powered areas like the Edit Pod screen. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Tweak: Further lock down custom heading tags in PHP-powered forms so that they can only contain basic tag names. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: Avoid setting post terms that are empty when saving pod item. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: Dot-traversal in Pods Templating `[if]` conditional shortcodes references the correct pod and expected field path. (@sc0ttkclark)

* Added: New function `Pods::is_defined()` determines whether a Pod was defined or if it was generated adhoc when calling a non-defined Pod. (@sc0ttkclark, @JoryHogeveen)
* Added: New function `Pods::is_valid()` replaces the logic in `Pods::valid()` to better follow the naming pattern used elsewhere in Pods. `Pods::valid()` is not deprecated yet. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Added: New functions `pods_static_cache_get()`, `pods_static_cache_set()`, and `pods_static_cache_clear()` abstract the static cache handling that would sometimes fail if the class was not available. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Added: New filter `pods_init_register_assets_load_pods_dfv_on_front` which allows you to force loading Pods DFV scripts on the front of the site when needed. Normally they will be included but some plugins/themes may need them enqueued sooner. (@sc0ttkclark)

* Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 6.0.

= 2.8.15 - April 16th, 2022 =

* Added: New `pods_callback` support in `Pods::find()` so that you can pass a callback function to use for `pods()` usage with relationships using the `output` as "pods". This allows for using shared instances across large data sets to reduce time. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Added: New property `$data->fetch_full` added to `PodsData` which can be used to turn off additional fetch requests when all table data was already returned by the query with `t.*`. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: When using table-based fields and a non-simple relationship has a field in the table, it will still be expanded like a normal relationship field when requesting it by name with no traversal. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: Call `PodsField_Pick::simple_objects()` using the object instead of statically to prevent PHP notices. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: Adjust the `Pods\REST\V1\Endpoints\Base::check_permission()` method so that it references the correct `\Pods` object. (@sc0ttkclark)

= 2.8.14 - April 15th, 2022 =

* Added: Now you can limit relationship fields that relate to post types to only include posts that match the current post's author. #4291 (@sc0ttkclark)
* Added: JS API - Now you can hook into right after the Pods form fields have loaded by using `window.PodsDFV.hooks.addAction( 'pods_init_complete', 'pods/dfv', () => {} );` #6482 (@zrothauser, @sc0ttkclark)
* Added: JS API - New JS helper functions to interact with fields on the screen including `window.PodsDFV.getField( pod, itemId, fieldName, formCounter )`, `window.PodsDFV.getFields( pod, itemId, formCounter )`, `window.PodsDFV.getFieldValue( pod, itemId, fieldName, formCounter )`, `window.PodsDFV.setFieldValue( pod, itemId, fieldName, value, formCounter )`. #6471 #6475 (@zrothauser, @sc0ttkclark)

* Added: Are you interested in seeing how much data your Pods are storing? You can now add `&pods_include_row_counts=1` to the Pods Admin > Edit Pods URL and see how many Data Rows, Meta Rows, and Relationship Rows are associated to each pod. This is a hidden feature and will be added in the future as a link directly within the Edit Pods screen. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Added: Support for alignment and custom classes on Pods Blocks. Disabled support for Anchors until they are officially resolved for dynamic blocks in core. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Added: Hooks implemented for new compatibility with the Pods Pro by SKCDEV Add On for Advanced Relationship Storage. (@sc0ttkclark)

* Fixed: Resolved issues with 00:00 times when HTML5 inputs are enabled for Date/Time fields. #6256 #6382 (@zrothauser, @sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: Some times after updating to 2.8, a Pod may have orphaned fields that exist outside of groups. This normally gets handled during the first time you edit a pod but now we have an additional count check to see if the field counts match as expected when editing a pod so it can trigger that process even after the first edit in 2.8. #6384 #6302 (@sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: Cleaned up and abstracted the logic to build the field name used in DB queries for a field. #6270 #6411 (@sc0ttkclark, @jamesgol)

**New PHP & WP Minimum Version Requirements:**

* PHP Version Change Requirement 5.3+
* WP Version Change Required 4.5+

**Major Changes in 2.7 Release: Flexible Relationships:**

* New Relationship Field Format "List View": The power of the new flexible relationships is our new modal window that opens within the existing record for relationship fields. This is modeled after the Media Modal from WordPress and provides full functionality to Add New related records or edit existing records all from within the parent record of the relationship. This is provided through our new List View field format for relationship fields. To see a demo of this field in action [head on over to our YouTube](https://youtu.be/V8c067GAEcA)
* Add New with Flexible Relationships: The new flexible relationships will automatically enable Add New on all your existing relationships, but you can disable this from the Additional Options tab for each relationship field. You can switch field formats to the new List View from additional options tab as well.
* Dynamic Field Views: The relationship fields and file upload fields have been rewritten to take advantage of "Dynamic Field Views", driven by JavaScript. More technical details about the directions we went towards these field changes can be read about in our ["Pods 2.7: What We Did and Why We Did It"](https://pods.io/2017/12/05/pods-2-7-developer-notes/)

* Fixed: Pods Templates were creating erroneous output with nested `[if _fieldname_][else][/if]` and `[each _fieldname_][/each]` template tags inside HTML entities after 2.6.9 upgrade. This fix bypasses `do_shortcode` and also bypasses `do_shortcodes_in_html_tags` which was the problem with this particular fix. Fixes (#4324,#4307,#4307). (#4335). [@pglewis]
* Fixed: Multi-file fields save was causing array to string conversion warning. New function & helper added called `array_filter_walker` for backwards compatibility. Also fixes the 'editable' titles in Multiple File Upload. Fixes (#4112,#4313). (#4314). [@mgratch,@JoryHogeveen,@sc0ttkclark]
* Added: Pods Templates & Page Capabilities have been added to the Members Cap Filter and Pods Role Manager from Components, Roles & Capabilities. This corrects an issue where Pods Templates and Pods Pages were not available to Admins, only Network Admins. Admins will still need to have the pods_templates_ and pods_pages_ capabilities added to their role, but now they'll be able to do this without additional code. Fixes (#4311). (#4342). [@JoryHogeveen]

Those now upgrading from Pods 1.x will have their existing bidirectional fields upgraded automatically and won't have to worry about setting them up again.
* Added: Widgets are now available to use to List Pod items, Show a specific Pod item, or to Show a specific field from a Pod item much like our TinyMCE shortcode popup -- enjoy!
* Improved: Search handling has been improved along with the above tweaks
* Check out the new screenshots we added to our plugin page if you're new to the plugin

* Fixed: Some plugins/themes use the wp_title filter incorrectly and do not pass the $sep and $seplocation variables, we now set defaults in those cases
* Fixed: Some sites experienced PHP notices from the way we've been using parse_url, we now have a fallback for that handling which clears those up

= 1.14 - May 21, 2012 =

Be sure to update your file upload helpers using our examples at http://pods.io/packages/file-uploader-input-helpers/
* Added: edit_where_any option in Pods UI now lets you set (true/false) whether for edit_where to be an ANY or ALL match (default false = ALL)

* Added: New 'pods_rel_lookup_data' filter to filter the data array itself (not just the MySQL resource given in 'pods_rel_lookup' filter above), great for customizing drop-downs for PICK fields
* Fixed: 'page' parameter in Pod::findRecords wasn't being validated as a number greater than 0, now forces a minimum of 1; Anything less will also reset the current page number, set during Pod::construct()
* Fixed: Pods UI 'label_add' wasn't being used on button at top of manage table list
* Fixed: Pagination bug with custom page_var set in Pod object, would add the custom page_var to the URL over and over
* Fixed: Upgrade script updated to include all upgrades prior to 1.6, which had been left out in a previous release
* Fixed: More strict matching in Pod::findRecords for field names, instead of just removing '(' and ')', it now removes 'function_name(' first, so that fields with the same name as function names won't be pulled

* Fixed: PodAPI setting of defaults for $params to avoid isset checks
