PBJ Forms & Products Changelog — 2.0.1

2.0.1 — Semantic admin themes

PBJ Forms & Products now consumes the shared PBJ admin-theme contract without depending on PBJ CRM.

• Readable setup steps in every theme. Current, completed, and upcoming steps expose semantic states and receive matching foreground, background, and border colors.
• Theme-safe admin surfaces. Forms, products, setup cards, notices, controls, and layout tables use neutral --pbj-admin-* variables with WordPress-safe fallbacks.
• Content previews stay independent. Customer-facing preview frames are explicit content islands, so an admin theme cannot repaint the design being previewed.
• No selector hacks or CRM dependency. Forms publishes exact component and state attributes; CRM contains no Forms-specific selectors, includes, calls, or runtime dependency.

2.0.0 — Forms, products, and cart are separate

PBJ Forms & Products 2.0 turns the old combined builder into four clear admin workflows: Setup, Forms, Products, and Cart.

• Forms and products are independent records. Forms collect fields and outcomes. Products own the price, gateway, presentation, checkout form, and selling mode.
• One centralized setup. The six-step Setup walkthrough now owns the old settings, payment, protection, appearance, cart, and license controls. It is skippable and safe to rerun.
• Purchase now or Add to cart. Each product gets one simple toggle. Cart items and quantities stay server-side, and every price and total is recalculated from the published product.
• Private order records. Direct purchases and cart checkouts create idempotent order snapshots after the form submission is saved.
• Ready for the next CRM update. Versioned order-created and Help Desk ticket-request events are documented for the future CRM listener. PBJ Forms does not load or modify CRM.
• Backward compatible. Existing forms, submissions, shortcodes, paid checkouts, product presentation, theme values, and License Manager hooks remain intact. Legacy paid/product forms gain linked product records without rewriting the original form.
