ARGUSandClaude Sonnet 5 c4db87af84 ARGUS WordPress Defence 7.23.2
- New: License section in Settings -- a 30-day trial with every
  feature active starts automatically, no registration required to
  start. Protection continues regardless of license status; the trial
  only affects what's shown, never what's enforced. Enter a license
  key to keep Premium features once the trial ends. This is the first
  release where the license system is actually visible anywhere --
  it existed in the codebase before but had no entry form and was
  excluded from every published build.
- Intelligence page: rewrote descriptions in plain language about what
  each thing does for your site's protection, not internal
  implementation details (was showing raw technical descriptions like
  a "signature corpus" and "RIR delegation database" range counts).

Verified end-to-end before publishing (not just code review): a real
signup and license created on the actual companion license service,
then submitted through the real Settings page form exactly as a
customer would -- status went from "TRIAL -- 30 DAYS LEFT" to
"LICENSED" on both the Settings and Overview pages. This exact ZIP was
also installed fresh and every admin page loaded with zero errors
before this commit.

Automatic, intelligent WordPress security. A local firewall, malware and file-integrity scanning,
vulnerability protection, and scheduled backups -- protecting your site with zero manual
configuration required.
== Description ==
ARGUS Defence protects your WordPress website automatically:
* **Firewall** -- blocks malicious requests (SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and more) before
they reach your site.
* **Scanner** -- regularly checks WordPress core, plugins, and themes for suspicious files and
integrity changes.
* **Vulnerability Protection** -- automatically checks your installed components against known
security issues.
* **Backups** -- scheduled recovery points for your website, stored securely.
* **Global Threat Intelligence** -- continuously updated, automatically connected, no setup
required.
Everything works out of the box. There is nothing to configure to get protected.
== Installation ==
1. Upload the plugin to your WordPress site (or install directly from the WordPress admin).
2. Activate the plugin.
3. That's it -- ARGUS Defence begins protecting your site automatically.
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Do I need to configure anything? =
No. ARGUS Defence is designed to work automatically. Advanced settings are available for
administrators who want them, but nothing is required to get protected.
= Will this slow down my website? =
No. ARGUS Defence's firewall and scanning run efficiently in the background, and the optional
page-cache feature can make your site faster, not slower.
= How do I update the plugin? =
Like any other WordPress.org plugin: you'll see an update notification right in your WordPress
dashboard whenever a new version is available, and you can update it in one click from there.
== Changelog ==
= 7.23.2 =
* Settings: added a License section -- a 30-day trial with everything active, then enter a
license key to keep Premium features. Protection never stops regardless of license status.
* Intelligence page: rewrote descriptions in plain language focused on what's protecting your
site, not internal implementation details.
= 7.23.1 =
* Automatic updates: fixed a bug where a normal (non-critical) update would be detected and
shown as available, but never actually installed -- now any newer, compatible, verified
update installs automatically, the same way updates to other plugins already do.
= 7.23.0 =
* Firewall: broadened local rule coverage (XXE, SSRF, session fixation, Log4Shell/JNDI, scanner-tool
detection, and deeper SQL injection / XSS / PHP injection signatures).
* Scanner: fixed a case where a quarantined file's severity label and its content-analysis score
could disagree; both are now always shown together and derived consistently.
* Console: the running plugin version is now shown in the admin header.
* First production release: firewall, scanner, quarantine, vulnerability protection, backups,
cache & performance, and automatic global threat intelligence.
