Changelog
2.5.1
- Fix: Settings now persist correctly — useApi unwraps the {success,data} REST envelope so form values hydrate (previously every setting reverted to defaults on reload).
- Fix: «Clear Cache» also flushes Redis (object + full-page keys). Single-post / single-URL invalidation removes the matching Redis page key too.
- Fix: Redis Full-Page Cache actually serves from Redis now — maybe_serve_cached_data checks Redis first; the buffer is mirrored to Redis on write with TTL = cache_lifetime.
- New: Redis section on the Performance page — connection status, Object Cache + Full-Page toggles, drop-in warning, manual Flush button.
- New: Redis widget on the Dashboard — Hit Rate / Memory / Cached Keys live stats, Connected/Disconnected badge, Flush button.
- New: Development Mode UI on the Dashboard — duration picker (1h/2h/4h/8h/24h/Permanent), live «is active» banner with expiry countdown, Disable button.
- UI: Sidebar nav items use the brand accent colour by default for better contrast on the dark theme.
