Markdown Alternate plugin - v1.2.0 5 6

6 June 2026

  • Addition: Lazy plugin loading on Joomla 6.1+
  • Security: Enforce access levels in the Markdown output. Article, category and custom-field queries now filter on the visitor's authorised view levels, so the .md / ?output=markdown rendition mirrors the access control of the HTML page and can no longer expose registered-only or otherwise restricted content to anonymous visitors.
  • Security: Harden the alternate link against injection.
  • Security: Read request data through the Input object instead of raw $_SERVER superglobals, so values are filtered.
  • Change: Inject DatabaseInterface via the service provider and DatabaseAwareTrait
  • Change: Emit the response headers (Content-Type, X-Markdown-Tokens, canonical Link) through the application object (setHeader() + sendHeaders()) instead of raw header() calls.
  • Change: Robust YAML frontmatter escaping.
  • Language: Added language files for en-GB and nl-NL (.ini + .sys.ini). The plugin name, description and all field labels are now language constants; the extension name string stays identical across languages.
  • Remove: Dead code (unused import, redundant assignments, an unused helper).
