 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.4.0] - 2026-01-24
+
+### Added
+
+- Self-licensing prevention: Plugin automatically bypasses license validation when the configured license server URL points to the same WordPress installation
+- New `isSelfLicensing()` method in `PluginLicenseChecker` to detect circular licensing scenarios
+- New `normalizeDomain()` helper method for domain comparison (strips www prefix, lowercases)
+
+### Changed
+
+- `isLicenseValid()` and `validateLicense()` now check for self-licensing before attempting validation
+- Cache clearing now also clears the self-licensing check cache
+
+### Technical Details
+
+- Self-licensing detection compares normalized domains of license server URL and current site URL
+- Prevents circular dependency where plugin would try to validate against itself
+- Plugins can only be validated against the original store from which they were obtained
+
+## [0.3.9] - 2026-01-24
+
+### Added
+
+- "Generate Licenses" button in order meta box for admin-created orders
+- "Generate Missing Licenses" button when some products in an order are missing licenses
+- AJAX handler `ajaxGenerateOrderLicenses()` for manual license generation from admin
+- Warning message when order domain is not set before generating licenses
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Critical:** Licenses are now generated for orders created manually in admin area
+- Previously, licenses were only generated via checkout hooks, leaving admin-created orders without licenses
+
+### Technical Details
+
+- Added `wclp_generate_order_licenses` AJAX action to `OrderLicenseController`
+- Updated `order-licenses.js` with generate button handler and page reload on success
+- Added CSS styles for generate status messages
+- Updated translations (365 strings)
+
+## [0.3.8] - 2026-01-24
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed duplicate German translation string causing `ArgumentCountError` in settings page
+- The notification settings description had duplicated text with two `%s` placeholders
+
+### Changed
+
+- Updated `magdev/wc-licensed-product-client` to latest version (64d215c)
+

+### 2026-01-24 - Version 0.3.7 - Dashboard Improvements & Download Counter
+
+**Overview:**
+
+Fixed dashboard widget bugs, improved UI consistency, and added download tracking functionality with a new statistics widget.
+
+**Bug Fixes:**
+
+- Fixed: Dashboard widget "View All Licenses" link used wrong page slug (`wc-licensed-product-licenses` instead of `wc-licenses`)
+- Fixed: Download links in customer account resulted in 404 errors due to missing query var registration
+- Added `license-download` endpoint registration during plugin activation in `Installer::activate()`
+- Added `addDownloadQueryVar()` method to `DownloadController` for proper WordPress endpoint recognition
+
+**UI Improvements:**
+
+- Removed redundant "Status Breakdown" section from license statistics widget (info already shown in stat cards above)
+- Changed License Types section to use card-style layout matching the stats row above
+- Cleaned up unused CSS for status badges
+
+**New Features:**
+
+- Download counter for licensed product versions (tracked per version in database)
+- New Download Statistics admin dashboard widget showing:
+  - Total downloads count
+  - Top 5 products by downloads
+  - Top 5 versions by downloads
+
+**New files:**
+
+- `src/Admin/DownloadWidgetController.php` - Dashboard widget for download statistics
+
+**New methods in VersionManager:**
+
+- `incrementDownloadCount()` - Atomically increment download count for a version
+- `getTotalDownloadCount()` - Get total downloads across all versions
+- `getDownloadStatistics()` - Get download stats grouped by product and version
+
+**Modified files:**
+
+- `src/Installer.php` - Added `download_count` column to versions table, added `license-download` endpoint registration
+- `src/Product/ProductVersion.php` - Added `downloadCount` property and `getDownloadCount()` method
+- `src/Product/VersionManager.php` - Added download counting methods
+- `src/Frontend/DownloadController.php` - Added query var registration, increment download count on file serve
+- `src/Admin/DashboardWidgetController.php` - Fixed URL, removed Status Breakdown, changed License Types to cards
+- `src/Plugin.php` - Added DownloadWidgetController instantiation
+
+**Technical notes:**
+
+- Download count is incremented atomically using SQL `download_count = download_count + 1`
+- Statistics queries use SQL aggregation with product name enrichment via `wc_get_product()`
+- WordPress endpoints require both `add_rewrite_endpoint()` AND `query_vars` filter registration
+- Existing installations need to flush rewrite rules (Settings > Permalinks > Save) or reactivate plugin
+
+**Release v0.3.7:**
+
+- Created release package: `releases/wc-licensed-product-0.3.7.zip` (827 KB)
+- SHA256: `e93b2ab06f6d43c2179167090e07eda5db6809df6e391baece4ceba321cf33f6`

+
+### 2026-01-24 - Version 0.3.8 - Translation Bug Fix
+
+**Overview:**
+
+Fixed a critical translation bug that caused the settings page to crash with an `ArgumentCountError`.
+
+**Bug Fix:**
+
+- Fixed: Duplicate German translation string in `wc-licensed-product-de_CH.po` causing `ArgumentCountError` in settings page
+- Root cause: The notification settings description was duplicated in the translation, resulting in two `%s` placeholders when only one argument was passed to `sprintf()`
+- Location: [wc-licensed-product-de_CH.po:322-328](languages/wc-licensed-product-de_CH.po#L322-L328)
+
+**Modified files:**
+
+- `languages/wc-licensed-product-de_CH.po` - Removed duplicated translation string
+- `languages/wc-licensed-product-de_CH.mo` - Recompiled binary translation
+
+**Technical notes:**
+
+- Error was logged to `tmp/fatal-errors-2026-01-24.log`
+- The German `msgstr` contained the same text twice, each with a `%s` placeholder
+- `sprintf()` at `SettingsController.php:221` only provided one argument for the single `%s` in the English source
+- Translation strings with `%s` placeholders must have exactly matching placeholder counts between source and translation
+
+**Dependency Updates:**
+
+- Updated `magdev/wc-licensed-product-client` from `9f513a8` to `64d215c`
+
+**Release v0.3.8:**
+
+- Created release package: `releases/wc-licensed-product-0.3.8.zip` (829 KB)
+- SHA256: `50ad6966c5ab8db2257572084d2d8a820448df62615678e1576696f2c0cb383d`

+
+### 2026-01-24 - Version 0.3.9 - Admin Order License Generation Fix
+
+**Overview:**
+
+Fixed a critical bug where licenses were not generated for orders created manually in the WordPress admin area.
+
+**Bug Fix:**
+
+- **Critical:** Licenses are now generated for orders created manually in admin area
+- Previously, licenses were only generated via checkout hooks (`woocommerce_order_status_completed`, `woocommerce_order_status_processing`, `woocommerce_payment_complete`)
+- Admin-created orders bypassed checkout, so the `_licensed_product_domain` meta was never set and licenses were never generated
+
+**Implemented:**
+
+- "Generate Licenses" button in order meta box for admin-created orders
+- "Generate Missing Licenses" button when some products in an order already have licenses
+- Warning message when order domain is not set before generating licenses
+- AJAX handler `ajaxGenerateOrderLicenses()` for manual license generation
+
+**Modified files:**
+
+- `src/Admin/OrderLicenseController.php` - Added Generate button, AJAX handler, CSS styles
+- `assets/js/order-licenses.js` - Added `generateLicenses()` function with page reload on success
+
+**Technical notes:**
+
+- Button only appears when order is paid and domain is set
+- Uses existing `LicenseManager::generateLicense()` which handles duplicate prevention
+- Page reloads after successful generation to show new licenses in table
+- Tracks generated vs skipped licenses for accurate feedback messages
+- Updated translations (365 strings)
+
+**Release v0.3.9:**
+
+- Created release package: `releases/wc-licensed-product-0.3.9.zip` (851 KB)
+- SHA256: `fdb65200c368da380df0cabb3c6ac6419d5b4731cd528f630f9b432a3ba5c586`
+- Tagged as `v0.3.9` and pushed to `main` branch
