Changelog

• 4.1.0 - Added alwaysReturnUpdate property to optionally return update metadata with a 200 status even when license validation fails (empty download_url).
• 4.0.2 - Minor change to function param signature to support PHP 8+
• 4.0.1 - Fixes a bug with license validation from domain details being sent via the POST body instead of the query string.
• 4.0.0 - Merges 1.5 years of upstream improvements and removes the naming collision work that was introduced in 3.1.0. The package now supports scoping with PHP Scoper to prevent naming collisions. You will need to change your Kernl instantiation from Puc_v4_FactoryKernl to Puc_v4_Factory.
• 3.1.0 - Changes instantiation to prevent naming collisions.
• 3.0.1 - Fixes a PHP notice that was accidentally introduced in version 3.0.0
• 3.0.0 - Refactored to prevent naming collisions with other plugins/themes that may use the un-modified version of the PUC library. Removed dead code.
• 2.6.0 - Update check requests now use POST instead of GET. When Kernl Analytics is enabled it is possible to send a querystring larger than is allowed on some servers. This resolves the issue by sending the data as an HTTP POST body.
• 2.5.0 - Adding support for capturing MySQL/MariaDB version for Kernl Analytics.
• 2.4.0 - Adding some additional error logic so a fatal error will not be triggered if Kernl is down for some reason or a request fails.
• 2.3.0 - Added admin_notice when the update check fails due to an invalid license.
• 2.2.0 - Initial version published to Packagist. https://packagist.org/packages/kernl/kernl-update-checker
