AgeWire has been updated — here's what's new since the original release.

Multi-framework support

The module now supports four CSS frameworks. You pick whichever one your project already uses:

• Vanilla CSS — fully self-contained, no dependencies, no CDN required
• Tailwind CSS — the original experience, 13 themes and 4 animations (unchanged)
• Bootstrap 5 — renders using native Bootstrap card, btn, form-control and alert classes
• UIkit 3 — renders using native UIkit card, button and grid components

Each framework has an independent CDN toggle. If you already load Bootstrap or UIkit in your templates, just uncheck it and the module won't load anything extra.

Security fixes

• CSRF token is now validated on every verification POST
• Fixed a bug where ProcessWire would render the full page HTML after the JSON response, causing JSON.parse errors in the browser. The AJAX handler now calls ob_clean() before sending JSON to discard any buffered output
• Strict date parsing with DateTime::createFromFormat — relative strings like "tomorrow" or "-18 years" are rejected
• Redirect URL validated to http://, https://, or site-relative paths only
• Custom CSS field sanitized against </style> injection
• JS console.log output is now gated behind $config->debug — no noise in production

Admin UI

The config page is now a two-column layout. General Settings and Framework & Theme are open side by side on first load. The rest (Modal Content, Date Picker, Agreement, Exclusions) are collapsed into logical groups — much less scrolling.

PHP 8.2+

The module now requires PHP 8.2 and uses typed return types, match expressions, str_contains, str_starts_with, and unnamed catches throughout.
