The plugin will automatically style changelog entries based on these prefixes:

• Added: Shows a green "New" badge
• Improved: Shows a blue "Improved" badge

Customization

The plugin uses the edd_changelog_badge_configs filter to allow for custom badge configurations.

Example:

add_filter( 'edd_changelog_badge_configs', function( $configs ) {
    $configs['added']['emoji']     = '🚀';
    $configs['improved']['emoji']  = '🔄';
    $configs['fix']['emoji']       = '🐛';
    $configs['developer']['emoji'] = '👨‍💻';

    return $configs;
} );

Each badge config accepts these parameters:

• prefix: Text to match at the start of changelog items
• badge_text: Text displayed on the badge
• emoji: Emoji shown before badge text
• class: CSS class for styling the badge
• ltrim: Text to remove from the start of matched items (optional)
