== Changelog ==

= 1.1.3 =
* Shared lazy media upload cache when several autopost templates publish one WordPress post (no duplicate uploads per attachment)
* Retry file upload to ParrotPoster; fallback to image URLs when upload fails
* Fix image URLs on post update; rate-limit guard distinguishes templates (wp_autoposting_id)

= 1.1.2 =
* Fixed local sync queue stuck in pending when WordPress timezone differs from MySQL: queue datetimes are stored and compared in UTC, with a one-time migration for existing pending rows and an automatic post-queue wake after migration

= 1.1.0 =
* Reworked the plugin admin experience around an embedded ParrotPoster interface with short-lived session tokens, iframe messaging, and a safer login flow after authorization
