Changelog

v1.0.11

Quieter debug logs: scheduled tasks now wait until WordPress has finished loading. • Fixed: when one of Dragon Auto Alt's scheduled tasks needed re-creating, it was scheduled before WordPress had finished loading. WordPress then logged "translation loading was triggered too early" notices that named other plugins, which could send you looking in the wrong place. Scheduling now waits until WordPress is ready. The notices only appeared with debug logging switched on. Nothing else changes: no settings, no stored data, nothing to do after updating.
