Release notes for Stoat Notifications for WHMCS.

1.0.0 — 14 November 2026

First public release.

Added

• Stoat notification provider for the native WHMCS notification system, implementing NotificationModuleInterface.
• Read-only Version row in the provider configuration dialog.
• Eight-page HTML documentation site with Open Graph, Twitter card and SEO metadata on every page.
• Three message formats: Message + Embed (default), Message only and Embed only.
• Markdown rendering for titles, messages and notification attributes.
• Stoat SendableEmbed support with title, description, URL and CSS colour.
• Per-rule webhook override, so billing, support and operations can post to different channels.
• Optional masquerade sender name (for example WHMCS) and avatar, requiring the Masquerade permission.
• Configurable request timeout, clamped to 1–30 seconds.
• Self-hosted Stoat support through Allow Self-Hosted Host, with HTTPS still mandatory.
• Strict delivery toggle: fail on a rejected optional feature, or retry once without it.
• Connection test on save, always strict, so missing permissions surface during setup.
• Markdown-aware truncation that closes an unterminated code fence.
• Mention neutralisation for @everyone, @here and @online.
• Actionable error messages mapped from Stoat’s error types, including NotFound, NotAuthenticated, MissingPermission, FailedValidation, InSlowmode and PayloadTooLarge.
• Module log entries with the webhook token redacted.
• Full HTML documentation site.

Notes

• Webhook URLs are validated before every request: HTTPS only, no credentials, query string or fragment, host limited to stoat.chat or *.stoat.chat unless self-hosted is allowed.
• Guilded-style decimal embed colours are converted to hex automatically when migrating an existing rule.
• Stoat embeds have no fields[] or timestamp, so attributes are folded into the description as Markdown.
• No database changes and no addon activation step; WHMCS discovers the provider from modules/notifications/.
