release: 3.3.2 → 3.3.3 — verification bump to test the "Check now" flow end-to-end

Pure version increment with no functional changes. Lets David's
Local install (currently on v3.3.2) hit the "Check now" button in
Settings → Updates and verify the panel correctly reports a real
version delta — should render "v3.3.3 available — Download .zip"
with a working download link to the source archive on Gitea.

After the test passes, `git pull` brings the local install to
v3.3.3 and the same panel should flip back to "You are up to date
(v3.3.3)".

VERSION
- wp-notes.php header 3.3.2 → 3.3.3
- WP_NOTES_VERSION constant 3.3.2 → 3.3.3
- About page version-history leads with v3.3.3 as latest (with a
  cheeky "if you can see this line, you successfully pulled the
  test release" note); v3.3.2 demoted to previous entry.

+## [3.3.3] — 2026-05-25
+
+**Verification bump.** Pure version increment to test the end-to-end
+"Check now" flow against the now-publicly-hosted Gitea repo. No
+functional changes. David's Local install (running v3.3.2) should
+now see *"v3.3.3 available — Download .zip"* in the Settings →
+Updates panel once "Check now" is clicked, confirming the update
+mechanism works against a real version delta. After the test, he
+can `git pull` to land on v3.3.3 and watch the same panel flip back
+to *"You are up to date (v3.3.3)"*.
+
+---
+
+## [3.3.2] — 2026-05-25
+
+### Fixed — update checker now works with tag-only workflows
+The v3.3.0 update checker only queried Gitea's `/releases/latest`
+endpoint, which requires a **formal Release object** (created via
+the Gitea web UI with optional notes + zip assets). A plain
+`git tag v3.3.x && git push --tags` from the terminal doesn't
+create that Release object — so the checker kept returning *"No
+releases tagged on the Gitea repo yet"* even when tags clearly
+existed.
+
+`wp_notes_fetch_latest_release()` now falls back to the
+`/tags?limit=1` endpoint when `/releases/latest` returns 404 (or
+any non-200). It synthesises a release-like payload from the
+newest tag — `tag_name`, an `html_url` pointing at the tag view,
+the tag message as the body, and an empty `assets[]` array so the
+existing download-URL logic falls through to Gitea's source-archive
+URL pattern (`/archive/<tag>.zip`).
+
+**Net effect:** the "Check now" button now finds the latest version
+whether David creates formal Gitea Releases OR just pushes tags
+with `git push --tags`. No workflow change required.
+
+### Known limitation (not a bug — flagged for awareness)
+The Gitea repo `ranger/a-wp-notes-v3` is currently **private**.
+Anonymous API requests get a 404 (Gitea's standard behaviour to
+avoid leaking the existence of private repos). The updater code is
+correct, but it can't actually reach the API on a private repo
+without authentication. **Fix:** change the repo visibility to
+public on Gitea (Settings → Visibility) — appropriate anyway for a
+GPL-licensed plugin headed for the WordPress.org marketplace.
+
+---
+
+## [3.3.1] — 2026-05-25
+
+**Naming: dropped the `WP` prefix. The plugin is now just `Logbook`.**
+
+David's call after a short discussion about WordPress.org marketplace
+considerations — WP.org's trademark policy historically discourages
+plugins implying official endorsement via a `WP` prefix and has been
+known to request a rename during submission review. Dropping it now
+makes the name cleaner *and* sidesteps that future hurdle if/when
+the plugin lands on the marketplace.
+
+### Changed
+- All user-facing brand mentions: `WP Logbook` → `Logbook` across
+  plugin header, admin menu, admin bar, dashboard widget, settings
+  H1, main page H1, About page intro, About page card heading,
+  feedback email subjects/body, error_log prefix, updater panel
+  copy, and styles docblock.
+- About page version-history card gets a new top entry for v3.3.1
+  with the green "latest" pill; v3.3.0 demoted to the previous slot.
+- CHANGELOG header line updated to track the full naming lineage:
+  *A-WP-Notes (≤v3.1.0) → WP Logbook (v3.2.0–v3.3.0) → Logbook
+  (v3.3.1+)*.
+
+### Notably NOT changed
+- Historical CHANGELOG entries for v3.2.0 (the original "WP
+  Logbook" rebrand) still say "WP Logbook" — that was the correct
+  name at the time and rewriting it would be revisionist.
+- Same zero-migration commitment as the v3.2.0 rebrand: internal
+  function names, constants, DB option keys, user_meta keys, file
+  paths, plugin slug, and text domain all unchanged. Pure
+  user-facing string change.
+
+---
+
+## [3.3.0] — 2026-05-25
+
+**New feature: self-hosted update checker.** WP Logbook is hosted on
+the author's own Gitea instance (`git.davidtkeane.com`), not on
+WordPress.org, so WordPress's built-in update flow doesn't see new
+releases. This release adds a small **Updates** panel to the
+Settings page that polls the Gitea Releases API and tells you when
+there's a newer version waiting.
+
+### Added
+- **`inc/wp-notes-updater.php`** — full rewrite of the previous
+  broken stub (which had a hard `require` on a non-existent vendor
+  path and was never included from the main plugin file anyway).
+- **Settings → Updates panel** at the bottom of `Settings → WP
+  Logbook → Settings`. Shows the current status on load (cached),
+  with a **Check now** button that force-refreshes against the
+  Gitea API.
+- **`wp_notes_fetch_latest_release()`** — hits
+  `/api/v1/repos/<owner>/<repo>/releases/latest` on Gitea, parses
+  the response, normalises into `{version, html_url,
+  download_url, body, published_at}`. Prefers a `.zip` asset
+  attached to the release; falls back to Gitea's source-archive
+  URL (`/archive/<tag>.zip`).
+- **`wp_notes_update_status()`** — version-compares against
+  `WP_NOTES_VERSION` and returns one of `available`,
+  `up-to-date`, or `unknown` (the last when no release has been
+  tagged yet — graceful first-time UX).
+- **AJAX endpoint `wp_notes_check_updates`** — capability gated
+  (`manage_options`) + nonce protected. Deletes the cache and
+  re-fetches.
+- **Quick links** in the panel: *View on Gitea* and *View all
+  releases* — both open the Gitea web UI in a new tab.
+
+### Cached
+- Successful release fetches: **12 hours** in a site transient.
+- Negative responses (e.g. HTTP 404 = no releases tagged yet):
+  **1 hour** so a freshly-tagged release shows up quickly.
+
+### Installation flow (manual on purpose)
+The panel does NOT auto-install. Manual path (printed in the
+panel itself): *download the .zip → deactivate plugin → upload via
+Plugins → Add New → Upload → reactivate*. Notes live in
+`wp_options` so they survive the upgrade.
+
+### Notes for future-Claude / future-David
+- The Gitea repo currently has **zero release tags** — so the very
+  first run of this checker will show *"No releases tagged on the
+  Gitea repo yet."* That's by design. Tag the v3.2.0 / v3.3.0 / v4
+  releases on Gitea as we ship them and the checker will start
+  reporting versions on its own.
+- The Gitea repo coordinates live in three constants at the top of
+  `inc/wp-notes-updater.php` (`WP_NOTES_GITEA_HOST`, `_OWNER`,
+  `_REPO`). Override-able via `define()` in `wp-config.php` if the
+  repo ever moves.
+
+### Also in this release — heading rename carried over from the unreleased block
+
+### Changed — Section headings on My Log page renamed to match the logbook framing
+- `Add New Note` → **`New Log Entry`** on the create form postbox.
+- `Notes Todo List:` → **`Log entries`** above the active/completed
+  lists.
+- Row-level labels intentionally **unchanged** — buttons like *Add
+  Note* / *Mark as Done* / empty-state *No active notes found* still
+  say "note" because that's the unit-of-work term in the existing
+  data model and UI. The headings are brand-y; the row-level strings
+  are functional. Two different concerns, different rename scope.
+
+---
+
+## [3.2.0] — 2026-05-25
+
+**Plugin rebrand: `A-WP-Notes` → `WP Logbook`.** Bundles the rename
+with the About-page rewrite and the working Leave-Feedback form that
+were sitting in the post-3.1.0 unreleased block.
+
+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-proof-of-work use case
+("logbook for clients") and the student-evidence-of-work use case
+("logbook for teachers"), and matches the exact word the plugin's
+own About-page intro had been using all day.
+
+### Changed
+- **Plugin Name** header: `A-WP-Notes` → `WP Logbook`.
+- **Description** header rewritten from "A plugin to add your notes
+  to the WordPress dashboard with import/export functionality" to
+  *"A lightweight task &amp; logbook plugin for WordPress. Log your
+  daily work, mark tasks done, and keep a tidy record inside the
+  dashboard. Perfect for freelancers showing clients what's been
+  delivered and students proving work to teachers."*
+- **Version bumped** v3.1.0 → v3.2.0 (header + `WP_NOTES_VERSION`
+  constant).
+- **Admin menu top-level** `WP Notes` → `WP Logbook`.
+- **Admin sidebar submenu** `My Notes` → `My Log` (matches the
+  new parent name; 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 (intro card, "What WP
+  Logbook does" heading, "Go to My Log →" CTA on the side-by-side
+  intro that used to say "Go to WP Notes →").
+- **About page version history** now leads with v3.2.0 (this
+  release) as `latest` and demotes v3.1.0 to the previous entry.
+- **CPT `menu_name` label** `WP Notes` → `WP Logbook` (cosmetic
+  only; CPT is hidden from admin UI since the duplicate-form fix in
+  v3.1.0).
+- **Migration notice text** "WP Notes needs to migrate…" → "WP
+  Logbook needs to migrate…".
+- **Email-feedback subject** `[Site] WP Notes feedback from X` →
+  `[Site] WP Logbook feedback from X`. Body intro line same change.
+- **Legacy feedback.php subjects** (`WP Notes Feedback` /
+  `WP Notes Help Request`) → `WP Logbook Feedback` /
+  `WP Logbook Help Request`. These render only if the unused legacy
+  feedback file is ever required-in; brought along for hygiene.
+- **`error_log()` prefix** `[WP Notes]` → `[WP Logbook]`.
+
+### Notably NOT changed (zero-migration commitment)
+- **All internal function names** keep `wp_notes_*` prefix.
+- **All constants** keep `WP_NOTES_*` names.
+- **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`)
+  stay as-is. **No data migration runs on upgrade.**
+- **All `user_meta` keys** stay as-is.
+- **Admin page slug** `wp-notes` stays — preserves bookmarks, the
+  admin-bar `#new-note` anchor, and the legacy
+  `?page=wp-notes-create` → `?page=wp-notes` redirect added in
+  v3.1.0.
+- **Plugin text domain** `a-wp-notes` stays — would otherwise
+  invalidate any future translation files.
+- **File and directory names** unchanged (`wp-notes.php`,
+  `inc/wp-notes-*.php`, `assets/wp-notes-banner.jpg`). The Gitea
+  repo `ranger/a-wp-notes-v3` is unchanged too — David can rename
+  it 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.
+
+### Changed — Leave Feedback form (more options, multi-select, wired to email)
+The right-column "Leave Feedback" form on the About page has been
+expanded from two radio buttons to **seven checkboxes** (users can
+pick more than one), a new optional message textarea, and a submit
+button that **actually does something** — it AJAX-posts to a new
+WP handler that emails the site admin via `wp_mail()`.
+
+**Form options (checkboxes — multi-select):**
+- I have ideas to improve this plugin
+- I need help with this plugin
+- I found a bug
+- I'd like to request a new feature
+- I'd like to share my use case
+- Just saying thanks 🍀
+- Other
+
+**Submission flow:**
+1. Client-side: at least one checkbox OR a message is required;
+   otherwise an inline hint shows.
+2. AJAX POST `wp_notes_submit_feedback` with topics[] + message +
+   nonce.
+3. Server-side handler (`manage_options` capability + nonce checked)
+   sanitizes input, allow-lists the topic keys, then builds a plain-
+   text email and ships it to `get_option('admin_email')` via
+   `wp_mail()`. Reply-To is set to the submitting user's email so
+   the admin can reply directly.
+4. Email body includes: sender (display name + email + WP login),
+   site URL, plugin version, the checked topics (pretty-labelled),
+   and the message.
+5. Inline success message replaces the form on success; inline
+   error message lets the user retry on failure.
+
+The old radio-button + broken `toggleSection('feedback-form-...')`
+logic that pointed at non-existent IDs has been replaced entirely.
+The `toggleSection()` helper is kept defined but is now genuinely
+unused on the About page — flagged for removal in a future Tier-2
+pass.
+
+### Changed — About page rewritten (content + layout)
+The About page (`Settings → WP Notes → About`) has been rewritten
+from "wall of nested toggle boxes with outdated content" to
+"readable cards with accurate content". The left column is now
+three plain cards: **What WP Notes does**, **Who it's for**, and a
+**Version history** that actually matches the current plugin
+version.
+
+What changed:
+- **Removed two `<button>onclick=toggleSection()</button>` wrappers**
+  around the About and Version History sections. Users came to the
+  About page to read content — hiding it behind a toggle was
+  anti-UX.
+- **"Version 2.0.3 (Current)"** entry was lying — the plugin is now
+  v3.1.0. Replaced the whole version section with a compact
+  accurate summary (v3.1.0 → v3.0.2 → v2.x → v2.0.0) plus a
+  prominent **"View the full CHANGELOG.md →"** link to the canonical
+  history on Gitea so the on-page summary doesn't have to be
+  exhaustive.
+- **Removed redundant duplicate paragraphs** ("WP Notes is a
+  versatile plugin that caters to a wide range of users" appeared
+  twice in two lines).
+- **Removed invalid HTML** — bare `<li>` outside `<ul>`, `<p>`
+  wrapping `<li>`.
+- **Removed buried banner image + Buy-Me-A-Coffee** that were
+  inside the (hidden-by-default) Version History toggle, never
+  seen by anyone. The banner already lives at the top of the page
+  in the side-by-side intro row; the support link already lives in
+  the right-column feedback card.
+- **Dropped the "Teachers want progress with Email Notifications"
+  use-case** — email notifications aren't implemented in v3.x so
+  the claim was misleading.
+- **Added three CSS card classes** (`.wp-notes-about-card`,
+  `.wp-notes-about-card--versions`) for visual rhythm with the
+  intro row above, plus styling for the version entries (latest
+  pill, monospace version labels).
+
+The right-column feedback box is unchanged. `toggleSection()` is
+also unchanged — still defined (no harm, used by the feedback
+form's broken-since-forever submit handler which is its own
+Tier 2 problem).
