= 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 &gt; Access-related Admin notices and Errors can be hidden by admins in a new setting in Pods Admin &gt; Settings &gt; Security. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Feature: Dynamic Features &gt; Dynamic features (Pods Blocks and Shortcodes) can be disabled by admins in a new setting in Pods Admin &gt; Settings &gt; Security. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Changed: Dynamic Features &gt; 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 &gt; Settings &gt; Security. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Feature: Pods Display &gt; 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 &gt; 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 &#039;create&#039; 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 &gt; 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 &gt; 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&#039;s uniquely prefixed so it prevents future conflicts with plugins using the same library. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Changed: Pods Views &gt; 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 &gt; Settings &gt; Security. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Changed: Display PHP callbacks &gt; 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 &gt; Settings &gt; Security. (@sc0ttkclark)

= 3.0.10 - December 11th, 2023 =

* Fixed: The safe rendering handler for Pods Blocks now properly passes along context to all Pods Blocks so that they work within Query Loops again and other places they could take on context. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: Resolved PHP 8.3 deprecation notice with `get_class()` usage. #7225 (@netlas, @sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: File fields using the direct plupload option will properly avoid uploading files above the limit and handle uploading multiple files without losing all but the first file in the file list. #7138 (@sc0ttkclark, @PD-CM)

* Fixed: Custom capability types now save as empty and remain empty as intended. When empty, they will default to the current post type name and a placeholder shows what that would be. #7218 (@sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: Added more handling for SQL errors for Pods Blocks. #7207 (@sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: Resolved WP debug notices when calling `wp_cache_flush_group` by checking if `wp_wp_cache_supports( &#039;flush_group&#039; )` first. (@sc0ttkclark)

* Fixed: Normalize numbers when doing conditional logic comparisons. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: Add new options to trim content of fields by removing empty p tags, trimming whitespace at the end of lines, and removing extra lines. Default those to off (previously they were just always on). (@sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: Add `tribe()` backward compatibility function for Pods add-ons that still call that function. This only gets included by Pods when Tribe Common is not detected on the site. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: Resolve file/relationship lookups for settings pages that are DB vs file-based configs. (@sc0ttkclark)

= 3.0.4 - September 25th, 2023 =

* Fixed: Added repair tool to address the potential for invalid conditional logic saved to the DB in early Pods 3.0 releases or future cases, this is when conditional logic stores a rule that ends up being a long serialized PHP string that contains a serialized PHP array. (@sc0ttkclark)

= 3.0.3 - September 22nd, 2023 =

* Fixed: Settings pods handling for relationships for Pods that are registered by DB / Code / File now normalize as necessary for relationships stored in the `wp_podsrel` index table for which item ID is used to relate from. (@sc0ttkclark)

= 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 &quot;pods&quot;. This allows for using shared instances across large data sets to reduce time. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Added: New property `$data-&gt;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: New `$params` support in `Pods::total_found( $params )` to support `Pods::find( $params )` shorthand lookups for getting total number of records found more easily. (@sc0ttkclark)

* Added: New `pods_podsrel_enabled()` arguments to allow filtering based on the field and context. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Added: New `pods_data_build_pre_traverse_args` filter allows for overriding the find/replace/traverse/params arguments for a `PodsData::build()` request before relationship traversal runs. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Added: New `pods_data_traverse_recurse_handle_join` filter allows for overriding the JOIN SQL used for relationship traversal. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: Resolved potential PHP issues with path checks in `PodsView` on certain environments. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: When a slug is set on a Pods Page, if the slug value comes through as empty due to a path issue, it will now enforce a 404 as expected. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: Resolved a few issues with the old field data coming through to the `pods_api_save_field_old_definition` filter. (@sc0ttkclark)

= 2.8.11 - April 8th, 2022 =

* Added: You can now enable types-only mode for Pods under Pods Admin &gt; Settings. This new mode will disallow adding and managing custom groups/fields. You can force it on by defining `PODS_META_TYPES_ONLY` as true in your wp-config.php too. #6437 (@sc0ttkclark)
* Added: Now you can limit relationship fields that relate to post types to only include posts that match the current post&#039;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( &#039;pods_init_complete&#039;, &#039;pods/dfv&#039;, () =&gt; {} );` #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: CLI - New CLI command `wp pods playbook run` which can run playbook .json files which allow you to perform multiple tasks with the Pods API. Useful for coordinating renames of Pods, Groups, and Fields, along with other CLI tasks between different environments. #6460 (@sc0ttkclark)
* Fixed: Limit by post status option has been resolved but you may need to re-save your post status choices again. #6470 (@sc0ttkclark)

* Fixed: Don&#039;t render the wrapper HTML for blocks if the contents are empty. (@sc0ttkclark)

= 2.8.9 - January 31st, 2022 =

* Added: There&#039;s a new tool at Pods Admin &gt; Settings &gt; Tools that will let you &quot;Recreate missing tables&quot;. This will run the logic used to create those tables needed by Pods. This is currently just for `wp_podsrel` but will eventually include all other table-based Pods too. #5795 (@sc0ttkclark)
* Added: Are you interested in seeing how much data your Pods are storing? You can now add `&amp;pods_include_row_counts=1` to the Pods Admin &gt; 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 &amp; 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 &quot;List View&quot;: 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 &quot;Dynamic Field Views&quot;, driven by JavaScript. More technical details about the directions we went towards these field changes can be read about in our [&quot;Pods 2.7: What We Did and Why We Did It&quot;](https://pods.io/2017/12/05/pods-2-7-developer-notes/)

* Fixed: &#039;page&#039; parameter in Pod::findRecords wasn&#039;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 &#039;label_add&#039; wasn&#039;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 &#039;(&#039; and &#039;)&#039;, it now removes &#039;function_name(&#039; first, so that fields with the same name as function names won&#039;t be pulled

* Added: Pod :: raw_sql contains SQL without @ table references replaced and Pod :: sql now should reflect the same query as hits the DB (@ table references replaced)
* Added: Pod :: getZebra() which uses a switch (Pod :: zebra) that goes from false to true during fetchRecord loops (initial value is false, first fetch switches it to true and reverses each additional fetch)

* Added: Having trouble updating Pods but you know things should be OK (advanced users)? Try adding ?pods_bypass_update=1 to the page URL you&#039;re on to bypass the update
* Added: Pagination / Filters to pods_shortcode (ex. `[pods name=&quot;mypod&quot; limit=&quot;15&quot; pagination=&quot;1&quot; pagination_label=&quot;Go to page:&quot; pagination_location=&quot;after&quot; filters=&quot;status,category&quot; filters_label=&quot;Filter:&quot; filters_location=&quot;before&quot;]`)

* Changed: PODS_VERSION_FULL removed and PODS_VERSION now set as real point version (ex. `1.12`), updated all checks for version to use PHP version_compare

* Removed: $this-&amp;gt;wpdb from Pod class (just a vestige of the past, now using global $wpdb)
* Removed: PodAPI / UI References to old Pods Menu functionality
* Fixed: jQuery Sortable include fix
* Fixed: WP 3.3 errors fixed in regards to new WP Editor API for TinyMCE (via @azzozz)
