• New: Transformed code into class-based approach (more future-proof)

• Updated .pot file, plus packaged German translations

Version 2.1.0

🎉 v2.1.0 (2025-03-15)

• Detection for German locales to run plugin without translation files for German sites – NOTE: you can use translations as before as well, nothing changes here. The two strings can also be modified in the Shortcode itself.
• This (single file) plugin can alternatively be used as "code snippet version". Works perfectly fine in Code Snippets (free & Pro), FluentSnippets, WPCode, Advanced Scripts, Scripts Organizer and WPCodeBox – NOTE: Use that way at your own risk and you have to care for updates yourself. – For download see under Installation
• Few code improvements

Version 2.0.0

v2.0.0 (March 2025)

• Updated plugin after 9 years, yeah! – Brought back to its basic beauty. (How it should be!)
• Removed additional translation loading – no longer needed; WordPress does now all we need by itself (yeah!)
• Removed support for third-party plugin "Shortcode UI (Shortcake)" which is no longer maintained, and, to be honest, no longer needed
• Brought changelog to Readme file here, CHANGES.md file removed
• Changed plugins versioning from date-based to version number based, which makes more sense here
• Changed to version v2.0.0 just to express the fresh restart
• Updated .pot file, plus packaged German translations
