Version 1.2.0 (JUNE 16, 2026)
ADDED Spam protection on the public vote, idea and comment forms: an invisible honeypot plus a timing check block automated submissions, with no configuration required.
ADDED Optional CAPTCHA on the vote and idea forms, selectable in the component options. On Joomla 6.1 and newer it works with the built-in, privacy-friendly POW CAPTCHA (no external service and no keys).
ADDED Backend overview: the number of pending feature requests and comments awaiting moderation is now shown as a counter next to the JoomVote admin menu items.
CHANGED Submitting feedback now requires choosing a category ("Please select..." instead of a preselected default), so bug reports and improvements are no longer mislabelled as feature requests.
CHANGED The confirmation button shown after a successful vote, submission or comment now consistently reads "Close".
Version 1.1.5 (JUNE 12, 2026)
Added aria-label on sort select in component view and module view (Accessibility/WCAG)
Added New language keys COM_JOOMVOTE_SORT_LABEL in EN + DE
Fixed Active filter button contrast ratio improved (WCAG AA, 4.9:1)
Fixed Vote label text contrast improved (WCAG AA, 9.7:1)
