## Änderungsprotokoll

#### 1.4.0

 * Added URL parameter inputs for routes containing tokens such as `{id}`
 * Param values are URL-encoded, substituted at send time, and persisted in localStorage
 * Added „Copy as cURL“ button with method, resolved URL, headers, and body
 * Fixed resolved-route validation against regex-based WordPress route patterns
 * Fixed route display formatting for complex regex-style parameters (named captures
   now render as clean `{param}` tokens)
 * Added `rest_url` in `wprrt_vars` for more accurate generated cURL commands
 * Added JS modules: `src/params.js` and `src/export.js`

#### 1.3.0

 * Added Saved Requests sidebar — save any request by name, click to restore into
   active tab
 * Added auth preset dropdown (No Auth, Bearer Token, API Key, Basic Auth) — auto-
   fills Headers field
 * Saved requests persisted per-user in wp_usermeta (max 100, newest first)
 * New PHP class WPRRT_Saved_Requests with save, get_all, delete methods
 * New AJAX actions: wprrt_save_request, wprrt_get_saved_requests, wprrt_delete_request
 * Auth type selection persisted in localStorage tab state
 * Two-column layout: sidebar left, request/response right

#### 1.2.0

 * Introduced Vite build system — source now lives in src/ and compiles to assets/
   app.js
 * Modular JS architecture: state.js, tabs.js, request.js, response.js, main.js
 * Added PrismJS syntax highlighting for JSON responses (GitHub-flavoured light 
   theme)
 * Build commands: npm run build (production), npm run dev (watch mode)
 * Fixed: empty request body was rejected with „Invalid JSON data“ — empty string
   now correctly defaults to {}

#### 1.1.0

 * Security: Fixed XSS vulnerability in route dropdown — route names now inserted
   via textContent, never innerHTML
 * Security: test_route() now wrapped in try/finally so temporary test users are
   always deleted
 * Security: Added 512 KB payload size limit on request body
 * Security: Added route existence validation — unknown routes are rejected before
   execution
 * Added support for PATCH, OPTIONS, and HEAD HTTP methods
 * Response now returns HTTP status code and response headers alongside body data
 * Response panel now shows a color-coded status badge (2xx green, 3xx blue, 4xx
   yellow, 5xx red)
 * Response time displayed as a readable line above the body, not embedded in JSON
 * Added collapsible Response Headers section in the response panel
 * Fixed formatRoute() regex to correctly handle optional parameter groups
 * AJAX failures now show a visible inline error message instead of a silent blank
   state
 * Removed all debug console.log() calls from production JS
 * Removed permanently-hidden dead „Form Params“ field
 * JS globals wrapped in WPRRT namespace object to avoid conflicts
