WordPress appointment booking plugin for salons and service businesses.

Salon Booking System ships tight monthly point releases on booking, sync, and security.

◆Current state
Salon Booking System is a mature WordPress appointment plugin for salons and service businesses, releasing small versioned updates roughly every few weeks. Recent work spreads across the front-end booking form, Google Calendar sync, payment tracking, and recurring security fixes. Nothing reshapes the product; each release closes gaps in the booking-to-payment loop.
◆Where it's heading
The product is in steady-maintenance mode with occasional feature additions — a forecasted-bookings view, a mobile web-app interface, two-way calendar sync. Security patching recurs release-over-release, suggesting active hardening of a widely-installed plugin. The direction is incremental refinement rather than expansion into new territory.
◆Prediction
Expect continued point releases focused on booking-form usability, calendar/payment reliability, and security fixes. No larger feature push is signalled in these notes.
