*** Order Messenger for WooCommerce changelog ***

2026-09-02 - version 4.0.0
* Upgrading from 3.x / Orders Chat 2.x: the messages table, options (order_messenger_*), My Account endpoints (messages, messenger), shortcodes, email ids and settings, product purchase messages and the order_messenger/* hooks are unchanged; composite 3.x settings are migrated to flat options on first load and left in place.
* Upgrading: storefront overrides in {theme}/order-messenger-for-woocommerce/ (or the install folder name) are still loaded, but 3.x markup relies on the removed OCMessenger script; refresh overrides from views/frontend.
* Upgrading: the "Default" color theme is now theme-neutral; named palettes (Sea, Grackle, Rose, Sunset) are unchanged.
* Upgrading: team access is the "manage_order_messenger" capability, granted to the roles chosen in Advanced settings (administrators always); 3.x checked roles for sending and edit_others_shop_orders for viewing.
* Upgrading: uninstall keeps the messages table unless "Delete data on uninstall" is on (3.x always dropped it).
* Upgrading: removed the 3.x metabox hook order_messenger/admin/messenger_metabox/additional_options, the om_load_dialog_* AJAX actions and the load_messenger_for_order admin-post action; the 3.x REST routes (/get, /send, /sendAdmin, /delete, /unread) still work.
* New: Messenger page rebuilt on WordPress components (search, unread filter, live updates, day separators, read receipts).
* New: The conversation on the order screen and in a modal on the orders list.
* New: Guest customers open their conversation from the order-received page (order key protected).
* New: Attachments are served through an access-checked endpoint; customer uploads live in a protected folder.
* New: Scheduled messages and email digests are delivered by Action Scheduler, not by page loads.
* New: Notification emails quote the messages and link to the conversation; plain-text versions work.
* New: "Unread messages" filter on the HPOS orders list.
* New: Rate limiting for customer messages.
* New: Roles chosen in the settings receive the "manage_order_messenger" capability; administrators always have it.
* New: Settings split into sections (General, Automatic messages, Notifications, Attachments, Advanced).
* Fix: Any logged-in user could read and write in any order's conversation.
