Dashboard

Important: Version 6.1 includes internal connection handling changes. Rolling back to a version earlier than 6.1 may temporarily disconnect child sites from your MainWP Dashboard. If this happens, reconnect the affected sites from the Manage Sites page using the Reconnect bulk action.
Security: Strengthened protection for internal key files by replacing predictable file names with secure, non-guessable identifiers and tightening directory permissions for related storage locations.
Security: Improved protection of stored extension license keys by encrypting them at rest and avoiding unnecessary plaintext caching.
Security: Updated API credential fields to display masked placeholders instead of stored values, preventing sensitive keys from being exposed in page HTML.
Security: Removed sensitive authentication fields from REST API site responses to prevent credentials from being exposed through API requests.
Security: Improved REST API key storage by hashing new consumer secrets at rest while maintaining compatibility with existing keys.
Security: Removed unused legacy connection and API key handling paths, with safer comparison handling for any existing legacy records.
Fixed: Improved validation when restoring saved table layouts to ensure saved column structures match the current table, preventing broken or incorrect table displays after updates.

Fixed: Improved group visibility filtering to ensure users without management permissions only see groups they are authorized to access.
Fixed: Typos and inconsistencies in user login event log descriptions and action identifiers for improved clarity and consistency across Network Activity logs.
Updated: Improved code quality and internal handling in several areas.
