===============================================================
Feature: "Show hidden records" plugin option for the jobs list
===============================================================

Description
===========

A new boolean plugin option **Show hidden records**
(:typoscript:`settings.showHiddenRecords`, checkbox/toggle, default off)
was added to the following plugin:

* **Jobs List** (:php:`academicjobs_list`)

When the option is enabled, the frontend job listing includes hidden
(disabled) records, independent of the Context API visibility settings.
Only the `hidden` enable column (`disabled`) is ignored; the `deleted`,
`starttime`/`endtime` and `fe_group` restrictions stay in effect.

The option is core-version-aware and available in both the TYPO3 v12 and
v13 flexform data structures of the plugin.

Impact
======

Editors can now opt in per plugin instance to display hidden jobs in the
frontend, for example to preview upcoming or intentionally hidden
records without changing the global preview settings. The option is off
by default, so existing plugin instances keep their current behaviour.

Affected Installations
======================

All installations using the `EXT:academic_jobs` extension starting with
version 2.4. No action is required for existing installations.
