← Back to Reel Pro v1.0.7 (12 releases)

Changelog Reel Pro

Changelog for the available Reel Pro WooCommerce plugin: updates, fixes and feature development.

v1.0.7

Corrected the record on external video embeds. Earlier releases of this readme, from 0.2.0 onward, listed "external video embeds (YouTube/Vimeo)" as a shipping PRO feature. That was wrong. The embed capability has always been in the free Reel plugin: the free plugin resolves the URL and calls wp_oembed_get(), and since 1.0.6 it also owns the per-product video URL field. What PRO shipped in 0.2.0 was the editor field for that free capability, and PRO gave even that back in 1.0.6. No code changed in this release and no feature was removed. Reel Pro ships four paid features: per-variation galleries, 360° spin, video autoplay rules and CDN lazy media. Added a "Not included in Reel Pro" section so the boundary is legible before purchase, and corrected the stated minimum free-plugin version from 0.1.0 to 1.0.11, which is what the plugin has actually enforced since 1.0.6.

v1.0.6

The per-product video field moved to the free Reel plugin, where the rendering engine already lived. PRO was supplying the editor UI for a capability the free plugin shipped and could not otherwise reach, which is a locked feature rather than an extension. The Reel product tab is now created by the free plugin and PRO adds the 360 spin fields to it. Requires Reel 1.0.11 or newer.

v1.0.5

Fix: deleting the plugin now removes its options and transients instead of leaving them in the database, on every site of a network. The free plugin's own settings are untouched.

v1.0.3

v1.0.2

v1.0.1

v0.5.1

Maintenance: renamed the plugin slug and text domain to `plogins-reel-pro` for consistency across the Plogins family. No functional changes.

v0.5.0

New: **CDN & lazy media**, **Reel → CDN Media**: optional CDN origin for upload URLs on spin frames and variation galleries; lazy spin-frame preloads and deferred self-hosted video loading.

v0.4.0

New: **Video autoplay rules**, **Reel → Video Autoplay** submenu: optional in-view playback, no autoplay on mobile and reduced-motion respect when free Reel autoplay is enabled.

v0.3.0

New: **360° product spin**, ordered spin frames on the product Reel tab; drag/swipe/keyboard viewer with reserved aspect ratio above the gallery.

v0.2.0

New: external video embeds, a per-product "Reel" tab adds a YouTube/Vimeo (or direct .mp4/.webm) video URL and optional title, rendered in the product gallery area via the free Reel media engine.
New: per-variation gallery, map gallery images to each variation from the WooCommerce variations panel; the storefront gallery swaps to the variation's images on selection using a tiny dependency-free script.
Polish: accessible inline help (Popover API with role="tooltip" fallback) and clearer descriptions on every field; live "video detected" status as you paste a URL; friendly empty states; drag-to-reorder variation thumbnails (first = main image); modern themeable admin styling with dark-mode and reduced-motion support.
Polish: storefront gallery swap is now CWV-native, image is preloaded (no flash), keeps its box (no layout shift), and crossfades only when motion is allowed; zoom/lightbox target stays in sync.

v0.1.0

Initial release. Boots on top of the free Reel plugin, verifies the free plugin and minimum version, registers premium services and hooks into the shared container, runs activation defaults and version-tracked migrations, declares WooCommerce HPOS + Blocks compatibility, and integrates the Freemius SDK for licensing and updates.
