AdBlock Tracker & Usergroup Swap v3.0.0 Release Candidate 1

These has been thoroughly tested and running live for over a week without issue. It's RC1 but should be fine for all users. Please do report any issues found, if any.

New Features:

• Cache JavaScript TTL (minutes) option is now functional (default: 15); provides a large performance boost
• Ajax routes now use XF.config for JavaScript caching; supports full-page cache for users and guests
• New option: Enable Mobile + Browser Detection Cache (enabled by default)
• Detection scripts now dynamically remove disabled methods from the JavaScript payload
• Replaces old "single detection resets non-detects" option with X detections reset non-detects (default: 2)
• Monthly cron to automatically [Reset and Delete] users with ≥ X usergroup swaps
• New "Logging options" tab to configure what is recorded in the user change log
• 1-hour cache added to reduce load from repeated user-agent requests

Optimizations:

• Ajax routes overhauled to prevent tampering
• Number of bait classes now randomized
• Detection elements adjusted to avoid skipping from tools like AdGuard that ignore off-screen bait
• User alerts have been restyled for better clarity
• Displays revised with clearer instructions and descriptions
• AdBlock Tracker log layout simplified for better readability

Fixes:

• Validation added to ensure at least one detection method is enabled when saving options
• JavaScript cache is busted on options save so settings apply immediately
• Negative values no longer allowed in Flood check on clear status
• Number boxes now use proper step values (e.g. 5 or 15)
• Obsolete table xf_wutime_adblock_tracker_javascript deleted
• Fixed bug where $tracker->save() was called after $tracker->delete()
• EasyList’s full class selectors now correctly ignored during bait generation to prevent false clears
• UglifyJS() added to build.json to properly generate min.js and replace outdated XF compiler
