Initial Release
1.0.9
- New: rental order status workflow — bookings now move through Waiting → In Rent → Completed. Admins can deliver or return a rental with one-click "Mark Delivered" and "Mark Received" actions.
- New: global "Auto Delivery" and "Auto Return" switches in the ON/OFF Configuration. When enabled, rentals are automatically moved to In Rent when the booking starts and to Completed when the booking ends.

- New: delivery and return timestamps are stored with every order (in the order data) when it is marked delivered or received.

- Improved: on "Mark Received" (manual or automatic) the security deposit is released (set to 0) and automatically deducted from the order total.
- New: dedicated "My Bookings" tab on the WooCommerce My Account page. Each logged-in customer can now see their own rental bookings — rental period, duration & rate rule, location, booked items, additional services, client & billing information, rent / additional / deposit / total prices, payment method and rent status.
