pkg_artigen changelog
Notable releases and milestones for Article Generator (pkg_artigen).
| Version | Summary |
|---|---|
| 3.2.0 | Joomla 6 Pre-Update Check no longer flags plg_system_artigentasks as a Potentially Dangerous Plugin. The plugin now declares its own compatibility-only update manifest so the check can verify J5 / J6 compatibility — pkg_artigen itself remains the canonical update path, so customers always update via the package. |
| 3.1.7 | Production release consolidating issues found in testing. Versions 3.1.1 through 3.1.6 iterated through this change before the consolidated release shipped. Subscription validation traffic reduced. The cache was repeatedly invalidating on every admin page render due to a signature mismatch with the validation API. Now caches successfully for 24 hours, so an active admin generates ~1 validation call per day rather than per page. Internal trait alignment across the four paid extensions; future drift is caught by a pre-push gate. |
| 3.1.0 | All five extensions updated to 3.1 — coordinated production release. |
| 3.0.30 | Dashboard tile regex fix in the shared “Multizone Extensions” admin home panel — aligns with the same fix shipped across the suite. |
| 3.0.28–3.0.29 | Pipeline progress indicators no longer loop and produce duplicate articles; regenerate path resilient to missing search_report column; banner generation polish. |
| 3.0.27 | Auto-generated article banners: 1200×630 gradient PNG banners with title and Font Awesome icon, rendered server-side via PHP GD using bundled backgrounds, Roboto-Bold and Joomla's bundled Font Awesome webfonts (1,895 icons). Per-Brief icon and theme overrides (maroon, blue, green, slate, purple, teal, orange, windows 95). New banner editor with live preview replaces image candidates picking when auto-banner is on. Article Banners list shows thumbnail, icon name, theme swatch, and opens an in-component edit form with save/close toolbar. |
| 3.0.26 | Claude (Anthropic) support alongside OpenAI via a provider abstraction; 3-step onboarding wizard to pick provider, paste key, test key, and generate a test article; Quick Article dashboard card for one-click title+topic pipeline; HttpClient retries transient 429/502/503/504; pipeline modal restyled to Atum, bootstrap.modal dependency loaded on the Brief edit view (fixes silent Generate Article failure); search step failures are now non-fatal. Fixes: PHP 8.2 dynamic property deprecation on PromptController::$verificationQueries; anglesLogDone classList-on-null bug when the element was detached by outerHTML. |
