Security release - updating is recommended. Adds CSRF nonce protection to the admin settings forms plus additional security and coding standards hardening. IMPORTANT: custom templates now live in /wp-content/uploads/motordesk/ instead of the old /template_custom/ folder inside the plugin (which WordPress wipes on every update). Existing custom templates are migrated automatically the first time you open the MotorDesk settings page after updating, and a copy is also stored in the database as a safety net. On hosts that do not allow WordPress to write files directly you may need to copy your custom templates into /wp-content/uploads/motordesk/ manually. Please backup templates before updating!
1.1.4
Increased API timeout to improve vehicle data sync reliability.

1.1.3
Security: Added nonce (CSRF) verification to the admin settings forms (search page URI, custom templates path and search options). Hardened the configuration option against PHP object injection, switched key/secret/token generation to a cryptographically secure random source, removed SSL verification bypass on API requests, escaped the search form action output, and applied WordPress input/output sanitisation and coding standards improvements. Custom templates now live in /wp-content/uploads/motordesk/ (outside the plugin folder, so they survive updates) instead of /template_custom/; existing custom templates are migrated automatically and a copy is retained in the database as a safety net. Direct writes to the plugin folder have been removed in favour of the WordPress filesystem API. Please backup templates before updating!
