## Changelog

#### 1.4.0

 * The filter now works in the block editor. It only ever appeared in the Classic
   Editor: the block editor builds its taxonomy panel with completely different 
   markup, so the plugin found nothing to attach to and did nothing at all — on 
   the editor WordPress has shipped by default since 2018. Hierarchical taxonomies
   and the most-used tag list are both covered, and a parent term stays visible 
   while one of its children matches.
 * The search field placeholder can now be translated. It was written in Italian
   directly in the code.
 * The script is loaded as a file on the editor screens only, instead of being printed
   into the footer of every admin page.
 * Tested up to WordPress 7.1.

#### 1.3

 * Converted to OOP structure.
 * Moved JavaScript to external file.
 * Added localization using `wp_localize_script()`.

#### 1.2

 * Refactored into PHP class.
 * Improved support for CPTs and non-hierarchical taxonomies.

#### 1.1

 * Extended support to all taxonomies.

#### 1.0

 * Initial release.
