## 2.0.5 ***(July 22, 2026)***

### Fixed
- Fix a bug where existing projects can't be updated #254

## 2.0.3 ***(June 2, 2026)***

### Fixed
- Bug preventing telemetry files from being included in the plugin deployment.

## 2.0.1 ***(May 20, 2026)***

### Security

This is a security hotfix to address several Bandit-reported issues in the codebase. The following changes were made:

- Replaced `xml.etree.ElementTree.fromstring` with `lxml.etree.fromstring` for parsing remote WMS capabilities XML. `lxml` disables external entity resolution by default, preventing XXE injection attacks. Resolves Bandit B314.
- Added `timeout=30` to `requests.get` call in `DataExchangeAPI` file download. Resolves Bandit B113.
- Added `timeout=60` to streaming `requests.get` call in `Downloader`. Resolves Bandit B113.
- Added URL scheme validation in `Telemetry` before calling `urlopen` — only `http` and `https` schemes are permitted, preventing use of `file://` or custom schemes. Resolves Bandit B310.
- `hashlib.md5()` in file integrity / ETag calculation now passes `usedforsecurity=False` to explicitly indicate non-cryptographic use and satisfy FIPS-mode Python environments. Resolves Bandit B324.

## 2.0.0 ***(May 20, 2026)***
