Log WordPress core, theme, and plugin update history and display it on the Updates screen. A REST API endpoint is available for administrators.

== Description ==

Update History Panel keeps an audit-friendly log of updates performed via the WordPress admin update workflows:

* WordPress Core
* Themes
* Plugins

The log is shown as a panel on the **Dashboard → Updates** screen and can also be retrieved via the REST API:

`GET /wp-json/update-history-panel/v1/logs`

For security reasons, the endpoint requires an authenticated user with the `update_core` capability by default.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the plugin through the WordPress Plugins screen.
2. Activate the plugin.
3. Go to **Dashboard → Updates** to view the log panel.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does it log updates done via WP-CLI or manual file replacement? =

This plugin logs updates performed through the WordPress admin update workflows. Updates executed outside of WordPress (e.g., WP-CLI or manual file replacement) may not be recorded.

= Can I access the REST API as an admin? =

Yes. Use an authenticated request (for example, Application Passwords) and call the endpoint shown above.
