Appointment booking and scheduling plugin for WordPress

LatePoint releases constantly, but its feed publishes section headings instead of release notes.

wordpressappointment schedulingaddonscalendar integrationspatch cadence
Current state
A WordPress appointment scheduling plugin shipping core versions and per-integration addons at a rapid clip — ten releases since late June across the core plugin, the Pro Features addon, and the Zoom, Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar addons. The changelog bodies are section headings only: "New", "Improvements", "Fixes", "Security", each linking out to the vendor site. Security appears in four of the last ten releases, which is the one pattern the feed does expose.
Where it's heading
The integration addons are now versioning independently of the core plugin and receiving their own patch releases, which points to the calendar and conferencing connectors being maintained as separate surfaces rather than bundled features. Core releases pair with Pro Features addon bumps often enough to look coordinated. Beyond cadence and the recurring security heading, the feed does not support conclusions about capability.
Prediction
The release rhythm points to another core patch within days, but the bodies carry no detail that would indicate what it addresses.
