Refundable Security Deposits changelog

Release history for the Refundable Security Deposits plugin. The newest release is listed first.

Version 1.0.7 – October 27, 2026 #

• New featureThe wording customers see from this plugin (the cart and order lines and the refund emails) is on the Text screen: Rentals → Settings → Text, beside Rentals & Bookings Lite 1.0.21 or Regular 1.0.85. Search for the words, type your own, and each language keeps its own wording. Without Rentals & Bookings the screen is WooCommerce → Text, and a “Text” link on this plugin’s settings opens it. The deposit name keeps its own setting (WooCommerce → Settings → Security Deposits), and the Text screen links to it.

Version 1.0.6 – October 23, 2026 #

• ImprovementTranslations. Complete translations in 17 languages, reviewed language by language: Arabic, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Romanian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. Czech, Danish, Finnish, Greek and Swedish are new, and German uses the formal “Sie” throughout

Version 1.0.5 – October 16, 2026 #

• ImprovementLicense. Beside Rentals & Bookings Regular 1.0.81 this plugin is on the one Licenses screen (Rentals → Settings → Licenses): Included when your package covers it, else with a key of its own. An expired key keeps it working; only updates are paused. Its own License page leads there. Used without Regular, nothing changes
• FixRefund email. The security deposit refund email no longer repeats the order’s payment instructions (“Pay by card or cash when you collect…”, bank details), which made a refund read as if the customer had to pay. The order’s other emails keep them

Version 1.0.3 – October 12, 2026 #

• New featureKeep part of a deposit. With Rentals & Bookings 1.0.79 a late fee the deposit covers is kept from it and the rest is refunded as usual; the order’s Security deposit box says what was kept and for what
• ImprovementAll rentals back. When an order’s last item comes back and its deposit is still held, an order note and a “Refund the security deposit” button say so
• ImprovementRefund emails. They greet the customer by first name and say how much came back, what was kept and what is still held; the rental’s sent and returned emails say what happens to the deposit
• ImprovementMy Account. Each deposit says whether it is held, refunded, partly refunded or kept
• ChangePer-order deposit. The cart deposit is now the “Per-order deposit”, lists the products that use it, and its line says “Refundable deposit: Kayak”
• FixSettings. Settings hide what their switch turns off, and the refund delay follows its switch
• ImprovementLicense page. This plugin’s License page (the License link on the Plugins screen) has the Rentals look: one panel with the key’s state, the key and its two buttons
• New featureLicenses. With Rentals & Bookings Regular 1.0.79 or later, this plugin’s license is also listed on Rentals → Settings → Advanced → Licenses: whether your main license covers it (asked of the store, not assumed) and a field for a key of its own. Its License link on the Plugins screen still works
• FixUpdates. No update notice when the key in use does not include this plugin (the download would fail with “Unauthorized”)

Version 1.0.2 – October 5, 2026 #

• New featureAutomatic updates. This plugin has its own licence key field (“Licence” on the Plugins screen; left empty, the Regular edition’s key is used) and takes updates from the store, over https
• New featureRefunds wait for the balance. The automatic refund of a security deposit waits while another plugin holds it (the sisecuritydeposits_auto_refund_allowed filter); Rentals & Bookings 1.0.76 holds it until the booking’s balance is paid. A held refund is noted on the order and tried again by the twice-daily check
• New featureNineteen languages. The product page notice, the settings, the product tab, the order screen and the refund emails are translated into French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Chinese (Simplified), Hindi, Arabic, Russian, Turkish, Romanian, Polish, Japanese, Korean, and Swiss German, French and Italian
• FixNo translation file was ever loaded: the plugin looked for them in a folder that does not exist, so every string stayed English
• FixThe “your security deposit has been refunded” email greets the customer by name again
• FixAn order note about several refunded deposits no longer reads as if only one was refunded
• FixA deposit refund the payment gateway refuses is also logged in WooCommerce → Status → Logs
• ChangeIncludes 1.0.1, which was not released on its own
