## [1.2.3] - 2026-06-01

### Added

- Setting to display the rating **before** or **after** single post content, or keep **manual** placement (shortcode / PHP).
- Translation files for **English** (`en_US`), **Spanish** (`es_ES`), and updated **Russian** (`ru_RU`); `languages/wp-post-rating.pot` template.
- `make i18n` target to compile `.po` files to `.mo`.
- Local development setup: `docker-compose.wordpress.yml`, `Makefile`, `.wordpress-env.example`.
- WordPress Playground blueprint at `.plugin-assets/blueprints/blueprint.json` (SVN: `assets/blueprints/blueprint.json`) for plugin preview on WordPress.org.

### Changed

- Minimum **WordPress 6.0** and **PHP 8.1** (tested up to WordPress 6.8).
- Text domain loading uses locale `.mo` files with **en_US** fallback.
- Twig `__()` calls use the `wp-post-rating` text domain.
- Database table `wpr_rating` is created on activation and on plugin load when missing.
- Activation hook registered in `wp-post-rating.php`.
- Front-end build uses Yarn and `sass` (replaces deprecated `node-sass`).
- PSR-4 autoload for `src/`; Symfony DI excludes `Entity`, `Dto`, and `Compat`.
- `ListTableLoader` moved to `WPR\Compat\ListTableLoader` class (Composer autoload, no manual `require_once`).
