## 🆕 New Features in v1.1.5

### 1. **WhatsApp Button Type** 🎉
In addition to `link_button`, now supports `whatsapp_button`:
```javascript
if(type == 'whatsapp_button'){
    r = '<a href="https://wa.me/'+r+'" class="button dw-checker-value-button">'+button_text+'</a>';
}
```

**Use Case:** Display phone numbers as clickable WhatsApp links

### 2. **TSV Format Support** 🎉
Plugin now detects and handles both CSV and TSV formats:
```php
$link_format = substr($url, -3);
$delimiter = $link_format == 'tsv' ? "\t" : ",";
```

### 3. **Responsive Card Grid** 🎉
Card display now has dynamic grid columns:
```javascript
grid-template-columns: repeat(`+res.settings.column+`, 1fr);
// Responsive breakpoints:
// Desktop (1280px+): N columns (configurable)
// Tablet (820px-1280px): 3 columns
// Mobile (482px-820px): 2 columns
// Small Mobile (<482px): 1 column
```

### 4. **Better Checker Isolation** 🎉
Each checker now has unique ID:
```javascript
var this_checker = $('#checker-'+$id);
```
**Benefit:** Multiple checkers can work on same page without conflicts

### 5. **Improved Post Type Settings**
```php
'public' => false,           // Not publicly accessible
'show_ui' => true,          // Show in admin
'show_in_menu' => true,     // Show menu item
'show_in_rest' => false,    // No REST API
'query_var' => true,        // Allow query vars
```

## 🐛 Bugs Found

### 🔴 Critical Bug #1: Div Display Pagination Structure

**Location:** `/assets/public.js` lines 167-171

**Issue:** Same as v1.1.0 - Container divs created per field instead of per row

**Code:**
```javascript
// WRONG - Inside field loop
$.each(item, function(q,r){
    if(index == 0){
        resultDiv += '<div class="dw-checker-result-container" data-pagination="'+index+'">';
    }else{
        resultDiv += '<table class="dw-checker-result-container" data-pagination="'+index+'" style="display: none;">';
    }
    // field content
    resultDiv += '</div></div>';
});
```

**Impact:**
- Pagination doesn't work
- Invalid HTML (mixed div/table tags)
- Multiple results fail to display

**Fix Required:**
```javascript
// CORRECT - Outside field loop
$.each(res.rows, function(index, item) {
    // Create container per row
    if(index == 0){
        resultDiv += '<div class="dw-checker-result-container" data-pagination="'+index+'">';
    }else{
        resultDiv += '<div class="dw-checker-result-container" data-pagination="'+index+'" style="display: none;">';
    }
    
    // Loop through fields
    $.each(item, function(q,r){
        // field content
    });
    
    // Close container
    resultDiv += '</div>';
});
```

### 🟡 Minor Bug #2: Card Display Color Override

**Location:** `/assets/public.js` lines 307-308

**Issue:** Uses global `value_color` instead of per-card `text_color`

**Code:**
```javascript
<span class="dw-checker-card-header" style="color:`+value_color+`">`+q+`</span>
<span class="dw-checker-card-value" style="color:`+value_color+`">`+prefix+r+`</span>
```

**Should be:**
```javascript
<span class="dw-checker-card-header" style="color:`+text_color+`">`+q+`</span>
<span class="dw-checker-card-value" style="color:`+text_color+`">`+prefix+r+`</span>
```

**Impact:** Per-card text color customization doesn't work

---

### 🟢 Code Quality Issues

#### 1. **Deprecated Function**
Line 279 in `class-Sheet-Data-Checker-Pro.php`:
```php
public function load_repeater_field_card_depracated() {
```
**Note:** Function marked as deprecated but still in code. Should be removed.

#### 2. **Debug Code**
Line 274 in `class-Sheet-Data-Checker-Pro.php`:
```php
error_log(print_r($_POST['checker'], true));
```
**Note:** Debug code left in production. Should be removed or wrapped in debug flag.

#### 3. **Missing Nonce Verification**
AJAX endpoints don't verify nonces:
- `load_repeater_field_card`
- `load_output_setting`
- `checker_public_validation`

**Security Risk:** Medium - Should add nonce verification
