release: 3.1.0 → 3.2.0 — rebrand A-WP-Notes → WP Logbook
The plugin's identity has shifted over the day's work — from a notes
pad to a work-logbook with time tracking, earnings, and a Wallet
tile on the v4 roadmap. "WP Notes" undersold what it had become and
collided semantically with WordPress's notes-as-memos connotation;
"WP Logbook" matches both the freelancer use case ("logbook for
clients") and the student use case ("logbook for teachers"), and
matches the exact word the plugin's own About-page intro had been
using all day.
USER-FACING CHANGES
- Plugin Name header: A-WP-Notes → WP Logbook
- Description header rewritten to reflect the work-logbook framing
- Admin menu top-level: WP Notes → WP Logbook
- Admin sidebar submenu: My Notes → My Log (matches new parent —
reads cleanly as "WP Logbook → My Log")
- Admin bar count menu: WP Notes (N) → WP Logbook (N)
- Dashboard widget title: WP Notes → WP Logbook
- Settings page H1: WP Notes Settings → WP Logbook Settings
- Main page H1: WP Notes → WP Logbook
- About page: every brand mention updated; "Go to WP Notes →" CTA
now reads "Go to My Log →" to match the new submenu
- About page version history now leads with v3.2.0 (this release)
as latest, demotes v3.1.0 to the previous entry
- CPT menu_name label: WP Notes → WP Logbook (cosmetic only — CPT
hidden from admin UI since the duplicate-form fix in v3.1.0)
- Migration notice text updated
- Email-feedback subject + body intro updated
- Legacy feedback.php subjects (WP Notes Feedback / Help Request)
→ WP Logbook variants
- error_log() prefix [WP Notes] → [WP Logbook]
ZERO-MIGRATION COMMITMENT — these stay unchanged
- All wp_notes_* function names
- All WP_NOTES_* constants
- All DB option keys (wp_notes, wp_done_notes, wp_notes_settings,
wp_notes_migration_completed, wp_notes_version,
wp_notes_dismissed_empty_active|completed)
- All user_meta keys
- Admin page slug 'wp-notes' (preserves bookmarks, admin-bar
#new-note anchor, and the legacy ?page=wp-notes-create redirect)
- Plugin text domain 'a-wp-notes'
- File and directory names (wp-notes.php, inc/wp-notes-*.php,
assets/wp-notes-banner.jpg)
- Gitea repo name (ranger/a-wp-notes-v3) — David can rename on the
Gitea side separately if he wants
The rename is purely user-facing strings. Existing installs see the
new name appear after a plugin file refresh, with zero behaviour
change. No re-activation needed.
VERSION BUMP
- wp-notes.php header Version: 3.1.0 → 3.2.0
- WP_NOTES_VERSION constant: 3.1.0 → 3.2.0
- CHANGELOG: new [3.2.0] section that bundles the rename with the
post-3.1.0 unreleased work (About-page rewrite, feedback form)

<p>I built it for my own client work as a transparent “here's what I did this week” logbook, so customers can see clearly what they're paying for. It turned out to be just as useful for any small team or single user who wants notes attached to the WordPress dashboard rather than a separate app.</p>

Renamed to <strong>WP Logbook</strong> to match what the plugin is actually becoming — a work logbook for freelancers and students, not just a notes pad. Menu submenu renamed <em>My Notes</em> → <em>My Log</em>. Internal storage and slugs unchanged, no data migration.

UX polish + bug-fix pass. Single-H1 cleanup, banner moved to this About page, menu renamed to <em>My Notes</em>, duplicate forms removed, empty-state notice now persistently dismissible per-user via <code>user_meta</code>, Tools shortcut retired with a backward-compatible redirect.
