EffectIO LifterLMS Helper 3.5.0

LifterLMS Helper Changelog
==========================

v3.5.0 - 2023-02-28
-------------------

##### Updates and Enhancements

+ Updated the appearance of the license dropdown.

##### Bug Fixes

+ Fixed incorrect HTML code for single Add On displayed on the LifterLMS > Add-ons & more screen.

##### Developer Notes

+ Added new paramater `$force`, `false` by default, to the static method `LLMS_Helper_Keys::activate_keys()`. It'll allow to force a remote call instead of using ccached results.

##### Performance Improvements

+ Cache results from the activate keys calls to the LifterLMS license API. This prevents issues where sites are pinging the license server too often, specifically if they are "cloned" sites.


v3.4.2 - 2022-04-01
-------------------

##### Bug Fixes

+ Fixed an issue where adding new license keys with an end-of-line symbol after the last key would result in an invalid license key error.
+ Fixed an issue that caused PHP warnings in the "Plugins -> Add New" page because the `plugin` property was missing. [#36](https://github.com/gocodebox/lifterlms-helper/issues/36)


v3.4.1 - 2021-08-17
-------------------

+ Fixed undefined index error encountered when programmatically deactivating a key that was not previously activated on the site.

-------------------

##### Localization updates

v3.3.0 - 2021-06-14
-------------------

+ This plugin is now included by default via the LifterLMS core in versions 5.0+. Installing this plugin directly will use the plugin version instead of the version included with the core. Direct installation is likely only required for development purposes when using LifterLMS 5.0+.
+ The main function `llms_helper()` is declared conditionally when the class `LifterLMS_Helper` is not yet declared.

-------------------

+ **This is nearly a complete rewrite of the codebase. Things have moved but no features have been removed.**
+ Requires LifterLMS version 3.22.0 or later
+ License key activation is now on a per-site basis as opposed to a per product basis. This means that if you have a license key for a bundle you don't have to enter the key for each add-on, you enter the key only once and it will activate ALL the add-ons.
+ The "Licenses" tab has been removed and your add-ons and licenses are now managed via LifterLMS -> Add-ons & More
+ A migration script exists to move license keys from previous versions of the helper to this version. After upgrading check LifterLMS -> Add-ons & More to ensure your keys were successfully migrated.
+ You can now install add-ons through the this plugin without having to download and install them manually. Enter your license key(s) and select the add-ons you wish to install to have them installed automatically. You can bulk install as well.
+ You can now subscribe to beta channels of LifterLMS and any LifterLMS add-ons. Visit the LifterLMS -> Status -> Betas screen to subscribe to betas. Always use betas at your own risk, by nature they're unstable!
+ Uses the LifterLMS.com v3 REST api for all API calls
+ Added RTL language support
+ Added i18n support
+ Removed and replaced various functions
+ Fixes many bugs and almost certainly introduces some new ones
