Free 1.1.3 · Pro 1.1.2.

What changed in 1.1.2

Free and Pro now use version 1.1.2. Replay features, edition boundaries, consent, local data and licence behaviour are unchanged. The plugin manual shortcut now opens the current guide. Update Free first, then Pro, without uninstalling.

Keep recording while you investigate.

The 0.4.5 matched pair separates long investigation reads from the short recording-write checks, so reviewing a larger retained library no longer holds the capture lock for the whole report.

• Keep issue counts and examples consistent while rechecking deletion, withdrawal, expiry and staff access before showing the result.
• Preserve existing recording, consent, licence and workflow data through the verified storage update. New installations still begin with recording off.
• Recover more clearly from damaged settings and failed consent saves; keep unsaved changes available for an explicit retry.
• Retry uploads unless the store confirms the correct recording and chunk, including when a response is lost.
• Verify Pro update packages against their signed version and requirements, and keep interrupted privacy cleanup retryable.

These reliability improvements include the additional local 0.4.4 audit builds, first published together here as 0.4.5. They do not change pricing, first licence activation, recording consent or optional-email defaults.

Keep the investigation moving.

Pro adds My review queue, shared saved-view editing, checkout change markers and easier developer handoffs.

• Filter investigations by owner, status and new evidence without changing their review state.
• Rename, update and duplicate saved views, with revision checks that preserve your draft when another manager changes the view.
• Compare retained evidence immediately before and after a labelled checkout change. Partial after periods and retention limits stay visible.
• Copy plain-text or Markdown developer briefs, or print and save a PDF using the browser. Clipboard denial has a manual-copy fallback.
• Keep existing recording, consent, licence and optional-email choices. The Free update protects unsaved change forms during navigation.

Comparisons do not prove that a change fixed an issue. Change labels do not extend recording retention. At this release, the hosted demo and PDF manual still showed 0.4.1. Both have separate version labels; use the current guide for today’s workflow.

Keep your recording choices through an update.

Corrects an upgrade path that could pause recording when an existing Free installation updated to 0.4.2. Compatible local upgrades now preserve recording state, consent, setup progress and retained data instead of rerunning first-install setup.

Updating from 0.4.2? That release could pause recording during an upgrade. Version 0.4.3 preserves the current recording and setup choices. Check Recording status after updating; resume only if you intend to record and consent is configured. An update does not turn paused recording on.

New installations still start with recording off. Pro is a matching version update; its tools and licence requirements are unchanged. At this release, the hosted demo and manual still showed 0.4.1.

See the workflow before you upgrade.

Frictions now explains relevant Pro workflows beside your review tasks, with clearly labelled previews, genuine screens using fictional data and a practical Free/Pro comparison.

• Explore the Pro result and the steps needed to use it.
• Keep an explicitly chosen upgrade task in this browser for up to seven days, then resume after installation and a valid first activation.
• Hide or restore suggestions and preview tabs for your WordPress account on this store.
• Keep existing Free tools, recording consent, storage, retention and the Pro licence contract unchanged.

Previewing sends no message and grants no Pro access. At this release, the hosted demo and PDF manual still showed 0.4.1.

Clear activation. A practical next step.

New Pro installations need one successful licence activation before their local review tools open. After legitimate activation, those tools remain available on that site when offline or after updates and support expire. Clearing the local connection locks Pro tools immediately without deleting retained data. A release made in your account takes effect when this site next checks its licence.

• Keep the complete recorder and player in Free, with no Frictions account required.
• Follow an observed WooCommerce issue through an assigned investigation and a developer brief.
• Use the updated setup guide and downloadable Free/Pro manual.
• Keep shopper consent, optional email choices and paid activation separate.

Consistent dates and safer order associations.

• Keep deleted order associations cleared when checkout callbacks overlap.
• Match date filters to the store’s timezone.
• Translate status and filter labels.
• Include the complete build configuration for reproducible packaged browser source.
• Align the Pro companion with the corrected Free base.

A clearer first recording and deeper review.

• Simplify consent setup and guide the real-recording check one step at a time.
• Explain prerequisites before creating the private check link.
• Fit replay to the available screen with easier access to playback controls.
• Add Pro comparisons across equal time windows and devices.
• Add recurring issues and investigation links to optional Pro summaries and alerts.

Verify a recording. Coordinate the review.

• Add the consent-aware first-recording check, compact capture status and quick filters.
• Improve filtered empty states and bookmark labels.
• Add Pro note authors, dates and protected editing.
• Add investigation owners and manual Open, Investigating and Monitoring statuses.
• Make Free-first installation and update guidance consistent.

More room to investigate.

• Add a fullscreen workspace and grouped navigation.
• Organize settings and replay tools into focused tabs.
• Add local appearance preferences.
• Protect unsaved edits when changing views.

Preserve setup and explain the upgrade.

• Preserve completed setup and recording preferences when updating a connected local 0.3.0 or 0.3.1 installation.
• Explain Pro with optional local examples and a Free/Pro comparison.
• Keep Free features unchanged and allow Pro suggestions to be hidden in the browser.

A readme correction.

Correct the “Tested up to” header to 7.1. Plugin functionality is unchanged.

Recordings move to your own WordPress hosting.

Move recording and processing to private local database tables. Remove the mandatory hosted service connection and commercial recording allowances. Include local retention, storage budgets, cleanup and protected structural playback in Free.

The separate Pro add-on introduces local guided investigations, saved views, team notes, evidence review state, developer briefs and optional WordPress-mail notifications. Installed local functionality no longer depends on a hosted subscription or online licence gate.

Historical demonstration captures may show 0.3.0 and remain labelled with their actual recorded version.
