 == Changelog ==
 
-= 1.0.1 =
-* Excluded pages and categories are now excluded in every language on sites translated with Polylang or WPML, not only in the language you picked.
-* Excluding the page set as your Posts page (Settings → Reading) now works; the script used to load there anyway.
-* Renamed to Clever Advertising Network Connector (slug `clever-advertising-network-connector`). The admin menu is now Clever Advertising.
-* The plugin no longer contacts Clever on its own after activation. Clever Advertising → Partnership now asks you to connect first, says what is sent, and lets you choose whether to share the administrator email.
-* Translations now come from WordPress.org. The plugin no longer bundles its own translation files; WordPress downloads the language pack for your site's language automatically when one is available.
-* Until the European Portuguese (pt_PT) language pack is published on translate.wordpress.org, the plugin's screens appear in English on sites set to that language.
-* Remove deprecated lang
-
-= 1.0.0 =
-* Initial release.
