=== MediaBlaster Changelog ===

= 3.2.0 =

* NEW: **Totally new MediaBlaster admin UI** — modern admin shell, clearer Features settings, grouped sections, toggle switches, and consistent styling across settings and feature screens.
* NEW: **Setup Wizard (onboarding)** — guided multi-step wizard for new installs (content, platforms, branding, hosting, links, review); skip / resume / restart; drafts apply only on Finish Setup.
* NEW: **Vimeo Integration rebuilt from the ground up** — three-step Vimeo Connection (credentials, Redirect URI, Connect + upload), import defaults, unsaved-credential Connect guard, post metabox, and reliable API/SSL wrapper (replaces older Extender-era flows).
* NEW: **Import from Vimeo** guided importer UI — readiness filters, summary counts, shared **Loading Data** modal (`MediaBlaster_Admin_UI` / `MediaBlasterAdminUI.loading`), Review bulk flow (legacy DataTables mass import no longer used on this screen).
* NEW: Shared admin **Loading Data** modal for core and add-on importers — `MediaBlaster_Admin_UI::render_loading_dialog()`, doc `admin-loading-modal.md`.
* NEW: **Live Channels & EPG (Beta)** module — enable under Features (`rovidx_smart_tv_live_channels_enabled`).
* NEW: **Live** post type with stream mode, default duration, and fallback content metadata.
* NEW: **Channel Playlists** (admin CPT + Playlist Builder with Series expansion from existing `rovidx_smarttv_playlist` order).
* NEW: **Channels** CPT with timezone, fallback playlist, schedule horizon, EPG visibility, and weekly **Channel Schedule** three-panel admin UI (no modal).
* UPDATED: **Channel Scheduler** — channel-local times, exact second durations, configurable snap (15/5/1), live resize with magnets/collision clamp, overnight segments, optimistic save + Undo, DST-safe weekly recurrence, occurrence-aware overlap (409 conflict details), unsaved-change protection.
* FIXED: **Channel Scheduler** — dual-edge resize (top/bottom hit areas, no internal grip); previous-block clamp; weekly anchor updates for start-edge edits; overnight handle assignment by segment start/end.
* NEW: Schedule compiler generates `{prefix}mediablaster_channel_airings` from playlists and schedule blocks (UTC storage) for the electronic program guide.
* NEW: Linear TV / EPG REST API — `/channels`, `/channels/{id}/now`, `/channels/{id}/schedule`, `/epg`, `/live`, plus admin `/linear/*` routes.
* NEW: App Config and discovery expose `linearTv`, `features.linear_tv`, `enableLive`, and `enableEPG` when the module is enabled.
* NEW: Deep linking supports `mediaType=liveFeed` for Live posts and Channels.
* NEW: In-plugin docs — Live Streams, Channel Playlists, Channels, Channel Scheduler, Linear TV REST API, and updated Vimeo guides.
* UPDATED: Features tab is the master switchboard for Podcasts, Live Channels / EPG, and Vimeo Integration (each off by default).
* UPDATED: **Podcasts leave Beta** — production-ready podcast CMS (still opt-in / off by default).
* NEW: Immutable episode GUIDs (`rovidx_smarttv_podcast_episode_guid`) with batched upgrade migration; legacy `urn:mediablaster:episode:{id}` preserved.
* NEW: Podcast episodes use canonical subscription entitlements (`_wpst_*`) with legacy free/premium mirror for one release.
* NEW: Podcast CPT capabilities (`edit_podcast_shows`, `edit_podcast_episodes`, `manage_podcast_integrations`, `distribute_podcast_episodes`) with role migration.
* NEW: Write-capable Podcast REST — create/update/validate shows and episodes; public transcript/chapters endpoints for free episodes.
* NEW: Production RSS — full catalogs (no 100-item cap), Atom/iTunes/Podcast Index namespaces, ETag/Last-Modified/304, enclosure validation, streaming batches.
* NEW: **Podcasts → RSS Diagnostics** and shared validation service for show readiness.
* NEW: Provider-neutral podcast integration API (`mediablaster_get_podcast_*`, hooks) for future distribution add-ons (no Spreaker code in core).
* NEW: **Podcasts → Integrations** admin shell (`manage_podcast_integrations`) lists registered distribution add-ons and settings links.
* NEW: Distribution side metabox on podcast shows/episodes applies `mediablaster_podcast_distribution_actions` (`$actions, $post_id, $object_type`).
* UPDATED: Audio player — mute/volume, loading/error/retry, coordinated playback, localized ARIA, dynamic init; Gutenberg ID `0` uses current episode.
* FIXED: Entitled subscribers can play protected podcast audio; unauthorized viewers never receive protected media via v3 or `/wp/v2`.
* FIXED: Public show REST no longer exposes `owner_email`; episode counts respect viewer context.
* FIXED: Public show template pagination; featured episodes are not duplicated in Latest.
