• Load llms_helper()->upgrader WP_CLI context in preparation for forthcoming the lifterlms-cli.

• 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+.

Deprecations

• Replaced usage of protected class property $instance in favor of $_instance in various singleton classes.

• Load changelogs from the make.lifterlms.com release notes archive in favor of from static html files.

• Fixed an issue causing multiple submitted keys to not work properly on certain environments
• Fixed issue causing installation script to make an activation API call even when no keys exist

• 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
