field_longtext_pager 2.1.0

Summary

This release modernizes the Field Longtext Pager module for Drupal 10, 11, and 12. It removes support for end-of-life Drupal 8 and 9, addresses critical bugs that could cause fatal errors, and includes important security hardening.

Security

• Fixed a potential Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability by replacing unsafe string concatenation in #markup with proper Drupal Render API arrays.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a fatal error where FilterProcessResult was incorrectly passed to string manipulation functions like str_replace() and preg_split().
• Fixed a critical bug where the module's uninstall hook was incorrectly named, leaving orphaned configuration in the database after uninstallation.
• Fixed a logic flaw causing pager IDs to become permanently stuck at 0 when multiple paged fields were displayed on the same page.
• Fixed the WORD_BLOCK paging method failing to correctly track and close nested HTML block-level tags.
• Added safety checks for preg_split() to prevent fatal errors if the regex engine fails.
• Fixed a typo in the pager method options array that could break existing placeholder configurations.

Changes

• Dropped support for Drupal 8 and Drupal 9. core_version_requirement is now ^10 || ^11 || ^12.
• Refactored the Ajax controller to use strict Dependency Injection instead of static \Drupal calls.
• Modernized JavaScript to use $.once() and proper event binding, removing deprecated inline onclick attributes and fixing a potential browser infinite loop in the scroll command.
• Added strict PHP 8 type hints and return types across all classes and methods.
• Removed dead code and redundant README.txt in favor of README.md.
• Improved documentation and technical examples in the README.

Testing

• Introduced a PHPUnit test suite to verify the unique pager ID generation logic and prevent future regressions.
