FEATURE: Add the capability of adding a large number of periods with defined lengths and maximum occupancies on a particular day using a single tool
FIX: Regression in 1.15.12 which caused get_orders() to return an empty list, resulting in the 'Orders' tab to not show orders and full time slots not being detected
TWEAK: When adding hours for a shipping method, add the facility to remove the entire existing list

1.15.17 – 08/Dec/2020

TWEAK: If there is no next available time for the current shipping method on the checkout, then do not create the picker widget; display a message instead
FIX: Potentially wrong calculation on maxDateTime if the shop and browser time zone differed and fell on different sides of midnight

1.15.16 – 01/Dec/2020

1.15.15 – 16/Nov/2020

TWEAK: If the shop owner saves an empty holiday in the settings, then do not paint it on the settings page when reloaded
TWEAK: Grey out today on the calendar if the closing time has already passed (rather than showing an empty list of possibilities)

1.15.14 – 14/Nov/2020

TWEAK: Restore compatibility with extensions (e.g. Weight-based shipping) which alter WooCommerce's shipping method ID format on the checkout page
TWEAK: Updated translations

1.15.13 – 11/Nov/2020

TWEAK: Modify the handling of no hours being defined introduced in 1.15.12; it should apply to when there are no default hours, rather than simply no hours
TWEAK: Modify the wording describing the implication of setting no default hours to be more accurate
TWEAK: Do not run front-end category checks on items that have none
TWEAK: Update bundled updater library

1.15.12 – 06/Nov/2020

TWEAK: When shipping/delivery is disabled in WooCommerce, show a notice in the settings
TWEAK: If "slots" drop-down type was in use and time_format included a marker for "a.m." or "p.m." then the menu entry would show with that in the wrong place in the closing time

TWEAK: When debug mode is active, add extra info to the AJAX checktime result about the availability calculation

1.15.10 – 17/Oct/2020

FIX: Regression in the behaviour of the openinghours_conditional shortcode in 1.15.9

1.15.9 – 16/Oct/2020

FIX: Shipping methods that had no settings of their own were getting separate allocations of slots, instead of a single combined allocation
TWEAK: Update bundled updater libraries

1.15.8 – 13/Oct/2020

FIX: When a shipping method had no settings of its own (so the 'default' settings were picked up), other setting periods from other methods were also copied in, meaning that unavailable slots could be shown (but not chosen).
FIX: When a shipping method had no settings of its own (so the 'default' settings were picked up), full slots were not detected on the front-end and were offered to the customer (but were not allowed after doing so). Now they are not offered.
TWEAK: Update bundled updater libraries (better integration with WP 5.5+'s auto-update settings)

1.15.7 – 09/Oct/2020

FIX: A premature conversion to integer type meant that a non-zero slots limitation could get converted to zero when greying out available days (regression in 1.15.6)
FIX: Missing check on shipping method match when looking for available slots when greying out available days (regression in 1.15.6)
TWEAK: Trashed orders should be treated as no longer occupying a slot (make equivalent to cancelled)

1.15.6 – 07/Oct/2020

TWEAK: Identify shipping method at the checkout when it is placed with a hidden field
TWEAK: If it cannot find a value, then openinghours_get_shipping_method_from_selector() will now return 'default' rather than an empty string
TWEAK: Days which are disallowed due to having periods defined but their all being full, are now greyed-out on the datepicker
TWEAK: When using an inline display type, changing shipping method now reinitialises the picker to reflect the possibly changed selection of available days

1.15.3 – 07/Sep/2020

FIX: Code which checked whether a time period was already fully occupied by existing orders was failing to check the shipping method, meaning that times were allowed that should not have been if the shop used multiple shipping methods with maximum choices of a particular slot
FIX: When changing the state of the "Ship to a different address?" checkbox at the checkout resulted in a change of shipping method, this was not being picked up, resulting in the wrong shipping method's data being consulted for message display
FIX: When category restrictions on products in the cart were making whole days unavailable, a logic error meant that this day was not necessarily greyed out in the datepicker
TWEAK: Slots which are disallowed due to category restrictions on products in the cart no longer show in the "slots" drop-down on the front-end
TWEAK: Slots which are fully occupied by existing orders no longer show in the "slots" drop-down on the front-end
TWEAK: Show the shipping method in the 'Orders' tab
TWEAK: Pass time period information through to the browser in the same internal format on front-end and back-end
TWEAK: Remove unnecessary JSON-encapsulation on the days-with-no-opening-hours property

1.14.9 – 04/Aug/2020

TWEAK: Include time_format and date_format values in the settings export for easier debugging
TWEAK: If "slots" drop-down type was in use and time_format included a marker for "a.m." or "p.m." then the menu entry would show with that in the wrong place

1.14.8 – 01/Aug/2020

TWEAK: Do not re-initialise the picker if its first initialising was due to a shipping method change event (deal with unexpected order of checkout events)
TWEAK: If initialising the picker with a known date/time, pass the date parameters as well as the time ones (resolves the problem of an inline widget not always picking up the correct initial value)

1.14.7 – 30/Jul/2020

FIX: Fix handling of "forbid orders" wrongly detecting whether the shop was closed when an order was placed when a legacy (pre-WC 3.0) shipping method was in use
TWEAK: Mark as supporting WordPress 5.5

1.14.6 – 03/Jul/2020

FIX: The feature for updating the stored time in the order dashboard page had ceased working in version 1.14.2

1.14.5 – 17/Jun/2020

FIX: The filter openinghours_slot_dropdown_show_end was previously ineffective
TWEAK: Add filter openinghours_order_list_item to allowing filtering of displayed orders in the aggregate list
TWEAK: Add a class to the <body> element in the DOM reflecting the current shipping method. This allows pure CSS to be used to achieve various possible types of behaviour that depend on the shipping method.
TWEAK: Marked as supporting WooCommerce 4.3 (requires 3.4+)

1.14.4 – 23/May/2020

FIX: A regression in the 1.14 series meant that settings were lost if WooCommerce general settings were saved
FIX: A regression in 1.14.2 with the "slots" widget type when there were multiple opening periods on the same day prevented the widget working correctly

1.14.2 – 19/May/2020

SECURITY: The settings-saving fix in 1.13.0 was faulty; this has been corrected. Though low-impact, updating is still recommended as soon as convenient.
REFACTOR: Moved out a number of dashboard-related methods into their own class
TWEAK: Prevent the "you have upgraded WooCommerce" dashboard notice showing on a new install
TWEAK: Introduce openinghours_pre_render_tab_* action hooks
TWEAK: For shops with more than one opening period defined in a particular day, the "slots" selector type will now omit the period in between the periods
TWEAK: Correct URL for admin page in post-WC 2.6 upgrade notice
TWEAK: Use a custom sort routine in next_opening_time() that handles the somewhat unlikely case of multiple opening periods that both start in the same day and in the same hour (e.g. 15:00 – 15:15, 15:45 – 16:00)
TWEAK: Remove use of compatibility class for getting order meta information, since we no longer support WC < 3.0
TWEAK: Prevent an unwanted JavaScript notice in the browser console if editing a category
TWEAK: Change the default widget type to slots, as this is the most flexible

1.14.0 – 14/May/2020

FEATURE: You can now place a limit on the number of orders that can be placed in any given opening period. Since opening periods are configurable per-shipping method, this means that you can do things like "let no more than 20 customers choose deliveries between 6 and 7 pm".
FIX: Catch exceptions when re-initialising the timepicker (since 1.12.3); in some cases, these could cause the re-initialisation to fail
TWEAK: Introduce filter openinghours_meta_key_base (not recommended for external use)
TWEAK: The "orders" tab is now sorted and grouped according to the time chosen by the customer (most recent first), and shows an intelligent number of orders (based upon when those times are in relation to now)
TWEAK: Orders on the "orders" tab show the order status and include a link through to the order itself
TWEAK: Orders on the "orders" tab that are cancelled now show the time struck through. By default this comes from the WooCommerce order status; it can be controlled by the openinghours_order_uses_slot filter.
TWEAK: Mark as supporting WooCommerce 4.2 (requires 3.4+)

1.13.0 – 07/May/2020

TWEAK: Settings are now moved to their own sub-page within the "WooCommerce" hierarchy. i.e. You should now find them in "WooCommerce -> Opening Times", not in "WooCommerce -> Settings -> General".
FEATURE: Add an "orders" tab to the plugin page, giving the (up to) 100 most recent chosen times. In this initial release, we have concentrated on the infrastructure, and the information presented is very basic. Further development is planned.
SECURITY: Analysis of the settings savings code indicated that an attacker who was able to personally target a known logged-in admin user (with WooCommerce management privileges) and persuade them to visit an attacker-controlled website could over-write plugin settings. This has now been prevented by adding a nonce. Because this vulnerability requires personal targeting and has no impact beyond changing settings, this vulnerability is rated as low impact, but updating is still recommended as soon as convenient.

1.12.5 – 06/May/2020

FIX: Correct handling of minDateTime parameter for the timepicker when the browser timezone does not equal the shop timezone – this deals with an undocumented (probably unintentional) reliance on the browser timezone in the external timepicker dependency
TWEAK: Mark as compatible with WooCommerce 4.1
TWEAK: Handle date formatting order with 'jS F Y' custom date format
TWEAK: JavaScript enqueue version now reflects the file modification time, for easier debugging

1.12.3 – 04/May/2020

FEATURE: If it is detected that JavaScript execution has been broken (by another component), preventing settings being correctly populated, then the user will now be warned, and settings will not be saved (to prevent saving of broken settings)
FIX: When using drop-down selection of minutes, make sure that the minimum permissible date is aligned to the configured stepping
FIX: When using inline display, if there is a selection of a new time immediately on page load (e.g. when the shipping method state can be read), this was not reflected in the widget. To accomplish this, the widget had to be reinitialised. Thus, if (with any display) you were waiting for the document to load before doing something with the widget in the DOM (e.g. moving it), you will need to adjust your code. The openinghours_initialised trigger may be what you are looking for (see below).
FIX: Calculation of the minDateTime for the picker was not taking into account the store timezone
FIX: Fix escaping of shipping method labels with hyphens in the openinghours_shipping_method_labels variable
TWEAK: Send through to the front-end information on the current "store time", to enable easier debugging
TWEAK: Trigger a openinghours_initialised event (on document.body) when the timepicker is initialised
TWEAK: Add missing jqueryui images, preventing unwanted 404s being logged
TWEAK: Do not display the "(Legacy)" label next to legacy WooCommerce shipping methods (pre-WC 2.6) on the front-end
TWEAK: Update updater library to the current release; and show update availability without requiring authentication
TWEAK: Wrap the time in the WooCommerce email inside a span with ID openinghours_email_timechosen

1.11.12 – 19/Mar/2020

TWEAK: Catch exceptions in updater.php

TWEAK: Mark as compatible with WC 4.0 and WP 5.4 (requires WC 3.4 / WP 4.4)

1.11.8 – 10/Jan/2020

TWEAK: Mark as compatible with WC 3.9 (requires WC 3.3 / WP 4.3)

1.11.7 – 12/Nov/2019

FIX: Regression caused by incorrect implementation of how the compatibility function was removed in 1.11.6

1.11.6 – 19/Oct/2019

TWEAK: Mark as compatible with WC 3.8 (requires WC 3.2 / WP 4.2)
TWEAK: Replace unnecessary compatibility function for WC versions < 2.1

1.11.5 (22/Aug/2019)

FIX: A recent regression meant that the minimum opening time was not being used when calculating next available times for suggestion in the UI

1.11.4 (06/Aug/2019)

TWEAK: Mark as compatible with WooCommerce 3.7 (requires 3.1+)

1.11.3 (06/Aug/2019)

FIX: The JavaScript function datetimepicker_onClose should be defined in a global scope to prevent exceptions on some checkout events

1.11.2 (08/May/2019)

FIX: The available time slots shown on the front-end was adding slots after the closing time

1.11.1 (07/May/2019)

FEATURE: Now allows the customer to choose a time "slot", rather than just a time.
TWEAK: You can now choose the "stepping" time for available time selections in the plugin settings (no need to use a filter)
TWEAK: The initial time (if any) populated in the selector is now aligned to the chosen stepping time

1.10.10 (23/Apr/2019)

FIX: Fix a regression in 1.10.9 in the admin-side editing of chosen times

1.10.9 (22/Apr/2019)

TWEAK: Replace use of update_woocommerce_term_meta(), which are deprecated in WC 3.6 (was not completed in 1.10.8)
FIX: Delay in saving time into order meta data leading to non-availability in some circumstances later in the same process in WooCommerce 3.6

1.10.8 (06/Apr/2019)

TWEAK: Replace use of get_woocommerce_term_meta() and update_woocommerce_term_meta(), which are deprecated in WC 3.6

FIX: There was an error in the calculation of the next available time when holidays that applied to all shipping methods were active and upcoming (regression since 1.9.0)

1.10.1 (12/Oct/2018)

FIX: When quantities were changed at the checkout, because of how WooCommerce internally updates the page state, the current status needed to be re-checked, but was not.
TRANSLATIONS: Updated bundled translations
COMPATIBILITY: Marked as supporting WooCommerce 3.5, and requiring at least 3.0. There should be nothing to stop it continuing to work on WC 2.6 (nothing has been deliberately disabled), but it will no longer be tested, nor support provided for it.

1.10.0 (06/Sep/2018)

FIX: If a shop had multiple sets of opening hours on the same day (e.g. 00:00 – 01:00, then 19:00 – 24:00), then when calculating the next opening hour before either of these arrived (e.g. 23:15 the previous day), a correct result relied upon the order of the sets in the saved settings (if you listed the later hours earlier, then it would wrongly go for that one).
TWEAK: There is a slight change in default behaviour for some users in this version (hence the minor version bump). The change only affects shop which have chosen to always show the user a time-picker at the check-out, and have a minimum order fulfilment time greater than zero. In previous releases, a customer would be informed via a notice at the cart and check-out if the present moment was an unavailable time (i.e. the fulfilment time was not consulted). In this release, this is changed so that the customer is informed if the time after the minimum fulfilment time is an available time. This is for two reasons: 1) If the soonest-possible fulfilment time is possible, then telling the customer that now is not available is irrelevant at best, confusing at worst and 2) Similarly for the converse situation where now would have been available if they'd ordered earlier, but that the shop's fulfilment times will end before any order they now place can be fulfilled.
TWEAK: Up until now, the customer was not notified prior to attempting to place the order at the checkout if an item in the cart had a category restriction with a non-zero minimum fulfilment time, and if the time after the passage of that fulfilment time (starting from the current time) was not within the hours allowed for the category in the settings. Now, they are notified.
TWEAK: In the next_opening_time() method, ensure that the return list members are all cast to integers, to prevent issues with output layers that perform entity modifications

1.9.2 (21/Aug/2018)

FIX: Fix a potential bug in calculating the shop open status upon order placement if no orders were permitted out of hours
TWEAK: Fix wrong formatting in a notice about the next opening time
TWEAK: Include the WP timezone settings in the 'settings' export.
TWEAK: Marked as supporting WordPress 3.9+ (nothing has changed to stop it working on earlier versions, but this is our official support requirement)
TWEAK: Fix a regression that prevented debug mode taking effect immediately on the checkout page
TWEAK: Updated updater library to latest version (1.5.4)

1.9.1 (10/Jul/2018)

TWEAK: If the checkout has no shipping method information available discoverable on it, then use the default settings
TWEAK: Tweak JavaScript debugging; use the openinghours_debug_mode global variable so that debugging can be activated from the developer console

1.9.0 (24/May/2018)

FEATURE: Holidays can now be selected to apply on a per-shipping-instance basis
FEATURE: Non-standard shipping methods that have different identifiers on the front and back ends can now be handled using the filters openinghours_shipping_method_from_front_end and openinghours_shipping_method_for_front_end to translate between them
TWEAK: Marked as supporting WooCommerce 3.4 (supports 2.6+)
TWEAK: Updated updater library to latest version (1.5.3)
TWEAK: Marked as supporting WordPress 3.8+ (nothing has changed to stop it working on earlier versions, but this is our official support requirement)

1.8.3 (25/Jan/2018)

TWEAK: Marked as compatible with WC 3.3

1.8.2 (18/Dec/2017)

FIX: When using WooCommerce shipping zone instances, with instances that varied in their list of allowed days, the list used in the time-picker widget was not being calculated accurately and was using the list from the default shipping settings

1.8.1 (08/Dec/2017)

FIX: The fix for calculating the soonest allowed time on the timepicker widget in 1.7.23 had an implicit dependency on the browser timezone

1.8.0 (02/Dec/2017)

TWEAK: Now bundles version 1.6 series of the TimePicker library (from previous 1.5). If you encounter a problem, you can switch back to version 1.5 by using the openinghours_timepickerjs_version_series filter and returning the value '1.5'.
TWEAK: A previously disabled (long ago) parameter that set the minimum and maximum hours on any slider is now re-enabled, with a work-around for the issue in the TimePicker library which led to it being disabled.

1.7.23 (23/Nov/2017)

FIX: When calculating the soonest allowed time, take into account the WordPress timezone

1.7.22 (07/Nov/2017)

TWEAK: Add checkout-page compatibility with the plugin WooCommerce Shipping Method Display Style (which changes the internals of the 'Shipping Method' selector)
TWEAK: Edit the "You have updated to WC 2.6" message to more accurately state the situation

1.6.18 (06/Dec/2016)

TWEAK: Work around an issue whereby translating the elements in the picker led to the initial time not displaying – the fix in 1.5.24 was incomplete
TWEAK: Add a new openinghours_time_is_after_minimum_gap filter for allowing developers to customise the "is after minimum gap?" test

1.6.17 (17/Oct/2016)

FIX: Remove a typing error in 1.6.13 that prevented display of the selection widget on non-English sites

1.6.13 (23/Aug/2016)

TWEAK: Make the position that the time is added to the WooCommerce PDF Packing Slips and Invoices plugin filterable (filter: openinghours_wpo_wcpdf_template_position)

1.6.12 (06/Aug/2016)

TWEAK: Add a new filter, openinghours_check_cart_items, allowing the cart check to be manually over-ridden

1.6.11 (21/Jul/2016)

FIX: (Regression): Prevent fatal errors if WooCommerce was inactive

1.6.10 (6/Jul/2016)

TWEAK: Tweak the output sent to the WooCommerce Automatic Order Printing
plugin when plain-text format is indicated

1.6.9 (30/Jun/2016)

FIX: Fix an error in the 1.6 series on WooCommerce 2.6, which caused all times to be considered available if default times were set and no zone-specific times set.

1.6.8 (27/Jun/2016)

TWEAK: Add an extra check to a conditional block, to avoid triggering a bug in some other component on one customer's site

1.6.7 (7/Jun/2016)

FIX: Fix an error in the 1.6 series on WooCommerce < 2.6 that, with certain settings, caused an erroneous request for a time to be chosen contrary to the settings

1.6.6 (4/Jun/2016)

FEATURE: Introduce a new shortcode, [openinghours_conditional only_if="(open|closed)"]. Content contained inside the opening and shortcode tags will only render if the shop is open/closed, according to your default opening hours (i.e. it does not depend upon considerations of category, or minimum order fulfilment times). e.g. [openinghours_conditional only_if="closed"]The shop is closed now.[/openinghours_conditional]. Remember that you must exclude pages with conditional content from cacheing plugins. Further parameters are available to use the hours for a specified shipping method: shipping_method="(shipping_method_textual_id|default)", instance_id="(shipping_zone_instance_id)" (applies only on WC 2.6+).

1.6.5 (23/May/2016)

* TWEAK: Correct a wrong link to the settings in the WC 2.6 upgrade notice
* TWEAK: Remove a stray line of text underneath the 'Export Settings' button
(introduced in 1.6.2)

1.6.4 (21/May/2016)

FIX: Fix a regression whereby when the shipping method was updated on the checkout page, the register of unavailable days was not being updated to reflect the change

1.6.3 (20/May/2016)

FIX: The spinner added in 1.6.0 was pointing to the wrong image file, and hence not visible
FEATURE: Bundled a script for importing settings
FEATURE: Allow the setting of negative minimum gap values, allowing the shop owner to limit selection of times in the past (in the case where the customer hovers on the checkout for a while)

1.6.2 (19/May/2016)

FEATURE: There is now an "Export Settings" button, which makes it much easier to reproduce problematic setups

1.6.1 (14/May/2016)

FEATURE: Enhance the "minimum order time" feature to be set per-shipping method (instead of a shop-wide setting)
TWEAK: When in debug mode, debug messages were not operational on the cart page
COMPATIBILITY: Updated for compatibility with the second (and current) beta of WooCommerce 2.6, which has undocumented incompatible internal changes to shipping zones handling; consequently, this version is no longer compatible with beta 1.

1.6.0 (13/May/2016)

FEATURE: Enhanced to take avantage of WooCommerce 2.6's (forthcoming) new shipping zones feature. You can set separate opening hours now for each shipping instance, not just each shipping method (so, flat rate delivery to Europe can have different times than available flat rate delivery to other places). Important: you must review and update your settings for this plugin after you update to WooCommerce 2.6 (and you should do this after you have created your shipping zones, so that the settings reflect their existence). A dashboard notice will prompt you to do this. The plugin remains compatible with earlier WooCommerce versions (2.1 onwards). Shipping zones are a major new feature of WooCommerce, and you are strongly advised to test them, and this plugin, out upon a development version of your site.
FIX: Prevent a JavaScript error on the cart when changing shipping methods, and restore the showing/hiding of notices appropriately
TWEAK: Re-organise use of term meta functions, to prepare for deprecation in a later WC release (2.7 or later)
TWEAK: Introduce a visual spinner when looking up the time availability, to assist usability

1.5.25 (18/Apr/2016)

FIX: A previously un-noticed change in WP 4.5 prevented time settings being shown or altered on category edit pages (though, existing settings still worked)

1.5.24 (16/Apr/2016)

TWEAK: Work around an issue whereby translating the elements in the picker led to the initial time not displaying

1.5.23 (06/Apr/2016)

TWEAK: Suppress a PHP notice generated at checkout in some limited circumstances

1.5.22 (05/Apr/2016)

TWEAK: Updated German (de_DE) translations – thanks to Florian Moser
Marked as compatible with WP 4.5

1.5.21 (18/Mar/2016)

TWEAK: Change some references to 'time' to 'date' when in date-only mode

1.5.20 (01/Jan/2016)

TWEAK: Add the chosen time to plain-text versions of emails (where in use), as well as HTML verions
TRANSLATIONS: Partial Swedish translation, courtesy of Patrick Ribbsaeter
Tested with WooCommerce 2.5

1.5.19 (12/Nov/2015)

FIX: If an unrecognised time format was entered in the WP settings, then the initial time on the checkout was not displaying properly

1.5.18 (20/Oct/2015)

FEATURE: Add new option when setting a minimum order time: allow the shop owner to lengthen the minimum order time if the current time (today) has gone past a certain point. This allows the setting of more sophisticated rules, including "next day collection is possible only if you order before a certain time".

1.5.16 (07/Oct/2015)

FIX: 1.5.15 was a bad update, for which we apologise. If you installed it and then visited WooCommerce admin pages, you may find that your opening hours settings are gone, and after updating you will need to re-create them.

1.5.15 (03/Oct/2015)

TWEAK: Add link to plugin FAQs in the settings
FIX: "Apply to Virtual Goods" checkbox would always show as selected, regardless of how the option had been saved

1.5.14 (08/Sep/2015)

FIX: 1.5.13 broke the addition of the order time information in the default "WooCommerce PDF Packing Slips & Invoices" plugin.

1.5.13 (31/Aug/2015)

TWEAK: Add a link to the WordPress timezone settings from the plugin settings for convenience.
FEATURE: Add an action openinghours_print_choice, for printing out the chosen time (e.g. in PDF template)
TWEAK: Add a filter openinghours_wpo_wcpdf_footer, allowing the alteration or suppression of the PDF footer text (with the PDF Packing Slips + Invoices plugin)

1.5.12 (20/Aug/2015)

TWEAK: Pass through the initial value for the checkout field to the filter which allows developers to render their own customised version

1.5.11 (17/Aug/2015)

TRANSLATIONS: New French and Italian translations, courtesy of Marco Abittan
FIX: Fix a further issue due to an incompatibility with an undocumented change in WooCommerce 2.4 (affecting users with category restrictions and checkouts where the user chose a time for later delivery).

1.5.9 (15/Aug/2015)

FEATURE: Add new CSS classes on items in the WooCommerce category list – category-open and category-closed – according to the category's status. You should, of course, not cache your category pages for long if using this (or make sure your cache is emptied at appropriate times).

1.5.8 (13/Aug/2015)

FIX: Fix an issue on WooCommerce 2.4 not discovered in previous testing (affecting users with the 'inform when closed' setting – all users with this setting should immediately upgrade).
TWEAK: The date/time shown on PDFs/print-outs in the integrations with various plugins now uses the date/time format configured in the WP dashboard.

1.5.7 (01/Aug/2015)

COMPATIBILITY + FIX: WooCommerce 2.4 compatibility (upgrade required – changes in WC 2.4 mean that previous releases are not WC 2.4 compatible) (at the time of writing, WooCommerce 2.4 is not yet released)
COMPATIBILITY: tested with WordPress 4.3 (release candidate 1)
FIX: Fix incomplete implementation of tweak in 1.4.24: "Use hyphens when using European format dates (e.g. 08-06-2015), to conform with PHP's assumptions about date formatting (http://php.net/strtotime)".
FIX: Fix issue where items with category restrictions that varied daily could make the wrong dates be unselectable in the datepicker

1.5.6 (25/Jul/2015)

FIX: The date/time shown on the 'Order received' page and order emails should use the date/time format configured in the WP dashboard.

1.5.4 (20/Jul/2015)

FIX: The 'Maximum Number of Days Ahead' setting is now also enforced for dates a customer types directly in as text. (Previously when enforced only via not being possible to select on the date-picker).

1.5.2 (15/Jul/2015)

TWEAK: New action (openinghours_archive_page) called on the shop archive page for convenience – allowing developers to easily take actions on that page depending on whether the shop is open or not.

1.5.1 (13/Jul/2015)

FEATURE: New capability to add a notice to products' pages out-of-hours (so, if you use this, you should make sure no cacheing plugins are cacheing your product pages)
COMPATIBILITY: Neither this nor any future releases will be tested or supported on earlier WooCommerce versions than 2.1. i.e. WC 2.0 is no longer tested/supported; 2.1 onwards continue to be.
TWEAK: In new installs, the default value of the "Apply To Virtual Goods" setting will be on. People wanting their settings to apply to non-tangible goods, but not spotting this setting, has probably been the #1 support request.

1.4.28 (30/Jun/2015)

TWEAK: When products are restricted due to being in multiple categories, it is now possible to control via filters how differing sets of hours interact (the default continues to be that any category that is currently available means that the category restriction test passes). Choices: product is available if any category is available; product not available if any category not available; depend upon category hierarchy (prefer parent or prefer child); and optionally ignore categories with no hours when making the calculation.

1.4.27 (27/Jun/2015)

TWEAK: When products are restricted due to being in multiple categories, it is now possible to control via filters the message which is displayed

1.4.26 (26/Jun/2015)

FEATURE: A new option on how to handle per-category restrictions for products in multiple categories has been added, allowing more flexibility
FIX: A custom 'not available' message set for a time-restricted category product would not always show

1.4.25 (25/Jun/2015)

TWEAK: If the customer changes shipping method at the checkout, and the already-chosen time is also valid for the new shipping method, then the chosen time will not be changed to suggest the soonest available time on the new method – instead, it will remain at the previously-chosen time.

1.4.24 (05/Jun/2015)

* TWEAK: Store the order date/time format in the postmeta at order time (possible future usefulness)
* TWEAK: Use hyphens when using European format dates (e.g. 08-06-2015), to conform with PHP's assumptions about date formatting (http://php.net/strtotime)

1.4.23 (28/May/2015)

* FIX: When a per-category restriction existed and a relevant product was in the cart at a time when the shop was open but the category item unavailable, if the shop was set to only show the chooser sometimes, the chooser widget was not being shown.

1.4.22 (26/May/2015)

FEATURE: Restrict the minimum + maximum time across all days in the timepicker when using the 'dropdown' type (there's a bug in the current timepicker release when using slider)

1.4.21 (25/May/2015)

FIX: Update admin new order email template fragment for recent WC versions (was dropping shipping address)

1.4.20 (15/May/2015)

Remove "Now" button from datepicker (the plugin already selects a soon-as-possible default, and "Now" is often impossible because of other settings, e.g. minimum order time, or shop is not open, etc.)

= 1.4.19 (02/May/2015) =:

TWEAK: New filter: openinghours_datepickerformat_oneline – set to true (and set openinghours_timepickercontroltype to 'select') to use the timepicker's one-line style

1.4.18 (11/Apr/2015)

New filter: openinghours_frontend_initialvalue: set to 'inline' to change to inline date/time widget (instead of one that displays when the text field is clicked)

1.4.17 (02/Apr/2015)

* Updated Dutch translation (thanks to Alex Kerklaan)

1.4.16 (31/Mar/2015)

* TWEAK/FIX: Update timepicker library to 1.5.2, which also fixes a bug when using drop-downs that could prevent some minute options being shown
* TWEAK: Introduce openinghours_jquery_ui_url and openinghours_datetimepickerstepminute filters for developers

1.4.15 (21/Mar/2015)

FIX: Front-end messages did not have month name localised.

1.4.14 (17/Mar/2015)

FEATURE: Can now apply minimum order fulfiment time on a per-category basis. (The minimum time for the whole shopping cart will be the maximum time for the shop and any categories represented in the cart).
FIX: When per-category restrictions existed, it was possible for some days to be disallowed from the date-picker which should have been allowed
FIX: Set the alwaysSetTime timepicker option in a different way, to avoid a jQuery exception
TWEAK: The minimum gap is now used when deciding whether to exclude dates on the date-picker – meaning that some dates which could not yield allowed times are now correctly prevented from being chosen
TWEAK: Update timepicker library (to 1.4.6) and include non-minified version

1.4.12 (13/Mar/2015)

Fix bug in plugin updater that could cause white screens on some WP sites

1.4.11 (10/Mar/2015)

FEATURE: Added plugin updater – update availability can now be made known and updates can now be installed through the standard WP updating mechanism

1.4.10 (03/Mar/2015)

FIX: Fix bug in calculation of current time, when checking initial availability (since 1.4.2)
TWEAK: Introduce openinghours_frontend_initialvalue_formethod filter for allowing developers to over-ride the initial value for different shipping methods
TWEAK: Remove JavaScript debug alert accidentally left in a previous release

1.4.8 (27/Feb/2015)

Fix bug in the calculation/display of the next opening hours when forbidding out-of-hours checkout with shipping chosen but no per-shipping-method times.

1.4.6 (24/Feb/2015)

Prevent JavaScript notice being logged at cart/checkout (since 1.4.2)

1.4.5 (17/Feb/2015)

Remove debugging code inadvertantly left in 1.4.2
Improve string-to-time processing when using {chosen_time} tag
Make the {chosen_time} tag work with the "processing order" email

1.4.2 (13/Feb/2015)

New feature to restrict times for products by category (access via Products -> Category -> Edit, for an existing category) – e.g., have a lunch-time menu that cannot be ordered at other times
FIX: Do not print the time chooser field, if the cart contents are all in shipping classes which are configured to not require any time selection
TWEAK: Make {chosen_time} use WordPress's configured time display format
Translation: Updated German translation (thanks to Christian Pagel)

1.3.3 (05/Feb/2015)

Add support for {chosen_time} tag in "Customer Note" email also.

1.3.2 (24/Jan/2015)

New feature: per-shipping-method over-rides for your shop's times. Have different hours for different shipping methods (e.g. local delivery available at some times; local pick-up available at others).
Fix bug (lack of permissions checking) that potentially allowed any logged-in user with dashboard access to adjust opening hours settings.
Various text strings changed to reflect fact that order fulfilment != delivery (i.e. do not assume that the plugin is being used for "delivery" times; could be "pick up", or something else).
Show chosen time in the 'Shipping' column of the WooCommerce orders listing screen
Add chosen time to the WooCommerce "Thank you. Your order has been received." page
Replace {chosen_time} tag in WooCommerce email subject lines with the chosen time
Tweak width of 'minimum order fulfilment' widget, to allow larger numbers to show more easily
Introduce constant OPENINGHOURS_DATEONLY as an alternative to the filter openinghours_date_only (note that the filter, if set, will have the final say)
Display information in the back-end when "date only" mode is set.

1.2.6 (12/Jan/2015)

Fix bug that caused some unavailable dates to not be greyed-out in the datepicker. Add openinghours_next_opening_time filter to allow programmers to over-ride the next open time. Add openinghours_frontend_initialvalue filter to allow programmers to tweak the displayed initial value of the checkout field.

1.2.4 (07/Jan/2015)

Fix two more bugs to do with a.m./p.m. and hour=12

1.2.3 (06/Jan/2015)

FEATURE: Allow the shop owner to set a maximum number of days into the future that can be chosen. Fix bug with time decoding when time format contains "a.m." and hour=12 (i.e. just after midnight).

1.2.2 (22/Dec/2014)

FIX: when date-only was activated (new feature in 1.2.1), it was possible to choose dates in the past

1.2.1 (20/Dec/2014)

Can now drop the hour/minute from times in the front-end, and allow the user to choose a date only. Internationalisation/localisation (41 languages + 33 partial) now added for the front-end and back-end picker.

1.1.21 (18/Dec/2014)

Add CSS tweak to prevent timepicker disappearing behind other layers on themes which over-write jQuery UI CSS

1.1.20 (05/Dec/2014)

New Dutch (nl_NL) translation (thanks to Dave Heere)

1.1.19 (28/Nov/2014)

Fix PHP notice for undefined constant

1.1.18 (24/Nov/2014)

Previous bug-fix in the logic for the "minimum time before order fulfilment" feature was only on the cart page, and also needed applying to the checkout page. WordPress's "first day of the week" setting is now also respected. Remove the "Now" button from the timepicker (since it already defaults to the first available time, and does not take into account minimum order fulfilment times).

1.1.17 (04/Nov/2014)

Integration with the "WooCommerce Print Orders", "WooCommerce Delivery Notes" and "WooCommerce PDF Invoices and Packing Slips" plugins (add time to their printouts)

1.1.16 (22/Oct/2014)

Fix bug in the logic for the "minimum time before order fulfilment" feature. Introduce openinghours_timepickercontroltype filter to allow selection of the time picker control type (default is 'slider'; 'select' is also possible)

1.1.15 (11/Sep/2014)

Fix case where time format (since 1.1.12) was incorrectly parsed

1.1.14 (11/Sep/2014)

Add new option to allow non-shippable (i.e. virtual goods) to be subject to time restrictions too

1.1.13 (30/Aug/2014)

Fix case where time format setting was not used, and restore WC 2.0 compatibility which was broken in 1.1.11

1.1.12 (28/Aug/2014)

Use WordPress's time format setting (in Settings->General) in the front-end time-picker

1.1.11 (19/Aug/2014)

Add setting to require products to be in specified shipping classes

1.1.10 (28/Jun/2014)

German translation (thanks to Marcel Herrguth)

1.1.9 (17/Jun/2014)

Add settings link. Add indication of current time at page load to settings.

1.1.8 (25/Apr/2014)

New Spanish translation, and fix bug that prevented translations from loading

1.1.7 (20/Mar/2014)

New option: if outside of set hours, then simply display a message (but do not prevent check-out, or make the user choose a time)

1.1.6

Add visual warning if the user attempts to set a closing time before the opening time

1.1.5

Update to settings saving on WC 2.1 (page name has changed)

1.1.4

Update to use new WC 2.1 notices API if available (remains compatible with prior versions)

1.1.1 (19/Dec/2013)

Added Bulgarian translation (from Galin Dinov, http://tajmahal.bg/)

1.1 (11/Dec/2013)

Added minimum fulfilment time feature

1.0 (05/Dec/2013)

First version
