1.0.4 on the 26th of October 2026

• The help of the Module Class setting is now shown translated in the module's settings. It showed as COM_MODULES_FIELD_MODULECLASS_SFX_DESC on Joomla 4 and later.

1.0.3 on the 26th of October 2026

• The classes typed in the Module Class setting are now added to the module. They were ignored.
• The Yes and No choices and the help of the Layout setting are now shown translated in the module's settings. They could show as HIKASHOP_NO, HIKASHOP_YES and JFIELD_ALT_MODULE_LAYOUT_DESC.
• The module now comes with its French translation: on a French page, "by" under each comment becomes "par".

1.0.2 on the 13th of October 2026

• The module works again on HikaShop 6.7.0 and older. Version 1.0.1 stopped the page with an error on them, as it asked HikaShop for the language of each comment, which only newer versions know.

1.0.1 on the 13th of October 2026

• The module's stylesheet is now found: it was requested from the module's folder, where the installer does not put it, so the comments were shown without their cards on every site.
• The name of the product under each comment is shown in the language of the page, as the other HikaShop pages do. It was always the name in the shop's main language.

1.0.0 - 28 march 2026

• Initial release of the module.
