Yatra – Travel Booking & Tour Management

Changelog

3.0.4

• Unicode / Cyrillic slugs (end-to-end): SlugHelper::generate() now rawurldecodes percent-encoded UTF-8 and uses mb_strtolower with a Unicode-aware regex (\pL\pN), so Cyrillic / CJK trip, destination, activity, and category slugs round-trip cleanly through validators and pretty-permalink routing. ActivityValidator, DestinationValidator, and TripValidator now route raw user input through SlugHelper instead of sanitize_title (which stripped non-ASCII characters down to a single dash). PrettyRouteMatcher decodes captured slugs the same way before lookup, so a URL like /trip/токио/ resolves correctly.
• Pricing — single source of truth: create_booking now uses CalculationService::calculateFromSession as its primary path, so the sidebar pricing summary, the AJAX summary refresh, and the actual amount sent to the payment gateway are all driven by the same code. The calculation result exposes unit_price_before_dp, dp_total_adjustment, category_prices_post_dp, and a dynamic_pricing breakdown so templates can render a clean “Trip Pricing → Services → Itinerary → Dynamic Pricing → Discount” stack with no double-counting and no sidebar/payment drift.
• Pricing summary — UI cleanup: services render as compact rows above Trip Subtotal (matching the traveler-row style instead of a separate card), Dynamic Pricing renders as one consolidated line (no “1 rule applied” caption), and service descriptions surface via a CSS data-tooltip hover (no native title attribute, no info-icon clutter). The duplicate-traveler bug (1 selected showing as 2) is fixed in formDataToObject‘s handling of name[] array notation.
• Coupon UI persistence: remove_coupon now writes back via yatra_set_booking_session() so the transient stays in sync, and the applied-coupon row’s visible state is server-rendered on first paint — the Remove button is now visible after a page refresh.
• Session management: yatra_set_booking_session() writes to both $_SESSION and a transient keyed by a booking_token in the URL, and yatra_get_booking_session() falls back to the transient when REST endpoints arrive without PHPSESSID. Service toggles, summary refresh, coupon apply / remove, and create-booking all resolve the same cart regardless of how the request authenticated.
• Mobile sticky bar: the sticky-bottom booking widget’s flatpickr / traveler-sync JavaScript is extracted into assets/js/single-trip-sidebar.js so it can no longer be mangled by WordPress’s convert_chars content filter (which previously rewrote && operators inside inline scripts as && and broke the bar on some themes).
• FSE / block-theme support: new Yatra\Core\Template\FseTemplates + Yatra\Core\Routing\PageContext provide a proper handoff between page handlers and the renderer so single-trip, booking, account, and confirmation pages render correctly inside the FSE template canvas.
• Custom trip tab: new templates/partials/single-trip/content-custom.php lets an admin-defined “Custom” frontend tab render through the same yatra_render_tab_icon() pipeline as the built-in tabs.
• Pro toggle scaffolding: Settings → Booking now has “Show available dates as a dropdown” with a PRO badge. The setting key (date_picker_as_dropdown) and free-side filter contract (yatra_use_date_dropdown, yatra_single_trip_date_dropdown_options) live in the free plugin; the actual behavior (gate, option-builder, flexible-trip date synthesis) is contributed by the corresponding Yatra Pro module.
• i18n / Loco Translate: Bootstrap::loadTextDomain() now installs a load_script_translation_file filter that falls back to WP_LANG_DIR/loco/plugins/ for .json script-translation files. This mirrors the existing .mo fallback so React surfaces (account page, admin app, blocks) pick up Loco-managed translations from Loco’s standard private workspace.
• CI / DevOps: the PHP-lint pipeline’s silent-failure bug (subshell counter in find | while) is fixed; xargs -0 -P 4 php -l now aggregates failures correctly. Added concurrency, least-privilege permissions: contents: read, and timeout-minutes to every job; composer validate --strict moved before composer install; debug noise and the inline AI-report preamble removed from $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY.
• Safe to update from 3.0.3.

3.0.3

• Shortcodes: [yatra_trip_category] — lists trip categories in the same card layout as destinations, with optional filters, pagination (trip_category_page), and AJAX-friendly behavior (see TripCategoryShortcode + TripCategoryShortcodeAjax).
• Shortcodes / blocks ([yatra_trip], Trip block): Featured Priority filter (featured_priority = featured / new / limited; mirrors the trip form’s Categorization → Featured Priority) and Difficulty / fitness-level filter (difficulty="3,5") are now first-class attributes. Legacy featured="1" is retained as a back-compat alias for featured_priority="featured" (featured_priority wins if both are set). Centralised in TripListingFilterBuilder so the same rules apply to both shortcode and block inputs.
• Trip block: retired the legacy Show only featured trips toggle in favor of the unified Featured Priority dropdown; existing block instances saved with featured: true are auto-migrated to featured_priority: "featured" when reopened in the editor. Inserter title and labels read Trip (registered block name yatra/tour is preserved for back-compat with saved posts).
• Cards (Destination / Activity / Trip Category — shortcodes + blocks): the whole card is now a click target instead of just the title text. Implemented via the WAI-ARIA “stretched link” pattern (CSS pseudo-element on the existing title <a>) so a single canonical link is exposed to screen readers and crawlers; keyboard focus shows a card-wide outline.
• Enquiry emails: {{trip_name}} (and other trip merge tags) now resolve correctly when an enquiry is submitted from a single-trip page. The modal posts trip_id / trip_slug reliably; backend normalizes tripId casing and derives trip_id from slug or HTTP_REFERER when missing; EnquiryService now eager-loads joined trip data before firing yatra_enquiry_created so admin templates and Pro automation receive a complete object. Merge-tag regex now tolerates surrounding whitespace ({{ trip_name }}).
• Payments admin (Add / Edit Payment): the Booking ID text field is replaced with a searchable booking picker that queries GET /yatra/v1/bookings?search=… and matches against booking code (reference), customer name, and email — debounced server-side search with rich rows (code, customer, trip, email). The Payment Date field now uses the shared admin DatePicker for visual parity with every other date field in the admin and prevents future-dated payments by default.
• Upgrades: version-gated Free upgrade runner; legacy payment tokens table dropped when applicable (see Upgrade_3_0_3).
• Discounts: REST and repository hardening (writable column whitelist; safer updates).
• Single trip: group discount discoverability in the sidebar; Similar trips links respect plain permalinks via yatra_get_trip_permalink(); enquiry modal Send Enquiry uses yatra-booking-button so primary color matches Check Availability and global --yatra-primary tokens.
• Admin / i18n: Trip Builder meal plan strings use shared labels; attribute icon picker preserves Font Awesome provider after save; front-end Important Info shows translated meal plan labels (yatra_meal_plan_label()).
• Safe to update from 3.0.2.x.

3.0.2.9

• Mobile booking bar: Improved sticky booking UI on small screens (date + travelers layout, full-width travelers dropdown opening upward, and reliable click targets).
• Admin caching: Fixed service cache invalidation so updates (including SEO fields) reflect immediately when cache is enabled.
• Safe to update from 3.0.2.8.

3.0.2.8

• Booking UI: Added Advanced settings to select Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy pages; booking form now links to these pages (Privacy falls back to WordPress Settings → Privacy when unset).
• Fix (Usage Tracking): Moved StatsUsage into app/Services and updated references to avoid case-sensitive autoload issues on Linux hosts.
• Fix (Gallery Modal): Hardened gallery modal image URL resolution against LiteSpeed Cache lazy-load placeholders.
• Safe to update from 3.0.2.7.

3.0.2.7

• Fix (Gallery Modal): Improved compatibility with LiteSpeed Cache lazy-load placeholders (base64 src) so the modal always opens the real image URLs.
• Compat (LiteSpeed Cache): Excluded Yatra hero/gallery selectors from LiteSpeed lazy-load and excluded Yatra trip assets from optimisation where needed.
• Safe to update from 3.0.2.6.

3.0.2.6

• Fix: Composer autoload path was declared as includes/Admin/ (uppercase) but the directory on disk is includes/admin/ (lowercase); caused fatal include warnings on Linux/cPanel servers (case-sensitive filesystems).
• License: Removed stub LicenseController from the free plugin — all /yatra/v1/license/* routes are now registered exclusively by Yatra Pro’s own controller, eliminating any route conflicts.
• Admin UI (Additional Services): Added missing Add New Service button via the PageHeader component on the Additional Services screen.
• Safe to update from 3.0.2.5.

3.0.2.5

• Admin: add Review + Upgrade notices (React UI + WordPress notices) with smart dismiss scheduling.
• Setup wizard: save step settings when navigating between steps.

3.0.2.4

• REST: implemented TripService::permanentDelete() so DELETE /yatra/v1/trips/{id}/permanent-delete no longer fatals (fixes permanent delete from trash and bulk actions).
• Admin (React): bulk trip actions rely on BulkActionToolbar confirmation only (removed duplicate window.confirm); improved bulk dialog copy for mark_* actions.
• Safe to update from 3.0.2.3.

3.0.2.3

• Admin (React): moved fullscreen shell CSS into the document head to reduce wp-admin chrome flicker; added HTML/CSS boot splash and modulepreload for the admin bundle; primary sidebar navigation uses client-side URL updates so the PHP loading state does not repeat on every screen change.
• REST: registered License routes in the API registry so GET /yatra/v1/license works on the free plugin (License screen and scripts that probe it).
• Admin UI: hardened Departures and Availability trip dropdowns against TanStack Query cache shapes and /trips list payloads (fixes map / find errors when navigating without a full reload).
• Safe to update from 3.0.2.2.

3.0.2.2

• Maintenance / patch release. Safe to update from 3.0.2.1.

3.0.2.1

• Readme (WordPress.org): linked Pro gateways, modules, traveler features, and related mentions to wpyatra.com/pricing throughout the long description, FAQ, and quick links.

3.0.2

• Readme (WordPress.org): reorganized the long description — the Yatra Pro section now appears before Blocks and shortcodes for a clearer Free → Pro → integration flow.

3.0.1

• Maintenance release: updated WordPress.org banner and directory assets (including screenshots) for the 3.x listing.
