1.1.0 on the 24th of September 2026

• The captcha can now be displayed on the withdrawal form, to the customers who are not logged in, with the new "Use in withdrawal forms" setting. It needs HikaShop 6.7.0 or later, on Joomla or on WordPress.

1.0.5 on the 6th of August 2026

• Fixed the update system so the plugin now correctly detects and offers its own new versions.

1.0.4 on the 18th of May 2026

• Fixed a fatal error on Joomla 6 that could break every page of the site (the plugin still relied on classes removed in recent Joomla versions). The plugin now works on Joomla 6.
• The hCaptcha is now correctly displayed on the native Joomla registration page on recent Joomla versions. The new password field layout (with the show / hide password button) was pushing the captcha insertion point out of range, so until now the captcha appeared during the HikaShop checkout but not on the Joomla registration page.
