Update link does not provide update info

    Hello,

    Firstly great work on this plugin, slick UI and really useful, thank you. I use it on all WP installs I have.

    I have a minor comment about upgrades. Every time there is an update to the plugin, I wonder what has changed, and if I need to configure anything new. The plugin seems prepared to help me with this, and displays a handy notice and link on the dashboard after upgrade :

    “Note: The WordPress Simple Firewall plugin has been recently upgraded, but please remember that any new features are not automatically enabled.
    Click to read about any important updates from the plugin home page.”

    Great! However the link (https://icwp.io/27) takes me to a generic info page about the plugin, no news, no updates, nothing useful (to me who already has the plugin installed). Why not point to a changes.txt, or release notes, or the equivalent ? If such a doc does not exist, I’d suggest removing the link as it is just misleading atm.

    A minor thing. Thanks again for the plugin.

    Cheers,
    Jack

    Hi Jack,

    Thanks for this feedback. I’ve updated the link to go directly to a custom change log page. It basically reflects the www.ads-software.com change log for now, but my plan has always been to be more verbose and explanatory about these changes.

    It’s updated for now.

    Bear in mind that if you click the link just now your destination redirect will be cached, so you’d need to close your web browser and re-open it if that is in-fact the case.

    Thanks!

    Paul.
