Changed

• Updated contextual indicator icons. A generic indicator is now displayed when more than 2 controls are enabled.

Fixed

• Fixed issue where blocks that should have been hidden by enabled visibility controls were appearing in REST API requests. This allowed sophisticated users to "see" content that was not intended for them via a public endpoint, i.e. wp-json/wp/v2/.... This is now fixed. Thanks @tkraftner for reporting this.
• Fixed issue where the REST API url was not being fetched correctly in the plugin settings for WP installations that had prefixed, or "relocated", the REST API. Thanks Mike for reporting this issue.
• Fix minor error due to missing attribute schema.

Version 1.6.0
