- New: optionally connect your site to WAD, a customer portal for managing all your protected
sites in one place -- dashboards, licenses, and (progressively) remote settings. Fully optional
and off by default; your site is fully protected either way.
- If connected, you can request a WAF mode change (Monitor/Block/Strict) from the WAD portal.
Your site cryptographically verifies and applies the request itself -- nothing is ever changed
without your site's own confirmation.

- If ARGUS Network is enabled, your site now shares richer fleet-visibility data (protected
domain names, and aggregate counts of security activity like WAF/bot/login-abuse decisions) so
ARGUS Network's fleet dashboard can show an accurate picture -- always totals, never individual
visitor records.
- New: an ARGUS Network administrator can request a WAF mode change (Monitor/Block/Strict) for
your site. Your site cryptographically verifies and applies the request itself -- nothing is
ever changed without your site's own confirmation.
- Updated the Privacy Policy content this plugin adds to your site's policy page to reflect both
of the above.

- Fixed the Security Score improving when a finding was simply marked "seen" (acknowledged)
instead of actually resolved or accepted -- an acknowledged finding still needs your attention
and now correctly keeps affecting your score until it's genuinely resolved.

- Fixed a bug where the Scanner's very first check of your site (or one run after resetting it)
could flag every core WordPress file as suspicious at once, dropping your Security Score to 0
for no real reason. A first-time check now quietly learns what your site looks like, exactly
like every check after it, and only flags files that are genuinely new or changed.

- Findings no longer stay stuck as "Needs Attention" for routine actions ARGUS already handled
automatically, like blocking or challenging a malicious request -- these clear on their own and
no longer affect your Security Score. Genuine unresolved issues still show up and still count.
- Fixed wording that could describe an already-handled request incorrectly.
- Fixed the Global Threat Intelligence connection status incorrectly showing as unavailable in
some cases.

- New: Form Protection -- stops automated spam and abuse on comments, registration, and popular
contact-form plugins (Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms), with no CAPTCHA and nothing for
real visitors to prove. It also protects any other form on your site out of the box, including
hand-written and page-builder forms, with no setup required.
- Several independent signals -- not just one rule -- are combined into a single risk score, so
people sharing an office, school or mobile network are never blocked just for their address
being busy.
- New Form Protection page: see what was blocked or held for review, which forms are being
targeted, and adjust sensitivity, trusted addresses, and logging to match your site.

- Findings now clear from "Needs Attention" at a pace that matches their own severity, instead of
all waiting up to 30 days -- a minor, already-stopped event (like a single blocked login attempt)
no longer lingers in your list as long as a serious, ongoing attack does.
- Fixed a few more places (checkout-fraud protection among them) where an attack ARGUS had already
stopped could still show up as something needing your attention.

- Fixed a serious bug where the firewall could block a real visitor (including search engines
like Google) on sites using certain page-builder widgets, showing them a "Forbidden" page
instead of your content -- and could go on to ban their IP address, keeping them locked out.
- The firewall no longer bans a visitor's IP address after a single suspicious-looking request --
it still blocks that one request immediately as before, but only bans the IP once a real
pattern of repeated or combined attack behavior is seen. Genuine attacks are still detected and
blocked exactly as before; this only prevents an isolated false alarm from locking someone out.

- Fixed a bug where a brute-force login attack that ARGUS had already blocked could keep showing
as an active finding and unnecessarily lower your Security Score, even though the attack was
already stopped. Blocked attacks are now correctly marked as automatically handled.

- Fixed "Run a scan now" occasionally not returning to the Scanner page after starting a scan.
- Scan errors (for example, a scan already in progress) are now shown clearly instead of the
button silently doing nothing.
- Improved the reliability of scheduled protection tasks (scans, threat intelligence updates,
and firewall enforcement) so they keep running even in unusual hosting situations.
