Alt Text Pro

1.7.14

• UX: Restored the polished shared connection modal with consistent icons, balanced cards, card-local actions, and responsive layouts that do not compress controls.
• UX: Improved automatic-connection loading, popup-blocked, success, and error feedback without changing the connection flow.
• Fix: Preserved the default context-aware generation setting during partial connection saves.

1.7.13

• Fix: Validated API keys now persist correctly when WordPress applies the plugin settings sanitizer during automatic or manual connection.

1.7.12

• UX: Distinguish confirmed popup connections from legacy key delivery and normalize the connect-handler formatting.

1.7.11

• Security/UX: Confirm that the WordPress plugin saved the API key before reporting a successful popup connection, and provide a manual copy fallback when the popup opener is unavailable.

1.7.10

• Fix: Preserve bulk-process state on sites using Redis or another persistent object cache so each batch can continue normally.

1.7.9

• Reliability: Bundle the oversized-image recovery path so failed image requests are recorded and skipped while the remaining bulk queue continues.
• UX: Keep stray bulk-processing counters out of the shared plugin header.

1.7.8

• Reliability: Show a short “Image too large to process.” message for oversized image requests and surface failed bulk requests instead of leaving the run stuck on “Generating.”
• Reliability: Treat oversized images as per-image errors, skip them without retrying, and continue processing the remaining images.

1.7.7

• Branding: Updated the public plugin display name to “Alt Text Pro” while preserving the existing plugin slug and text domain.

1.7.6

• Documentation: Updated the plugin readme with the current bulk-processing behavior, credit-accurate stopping guidance, live progress details, and warning notifications.

1.7.5

• UX: Bulk-processing warnings now appear as compact, dismissible bottom-right notifications only when a process actually needs attention.

1.7.4

• UX: Removed the redundant total, missing-alt-text, and optimized summary cards from the bulk-generation page.

1.7.3

• UX: Redesigned the live bulk-processing view with the current task, overall progress, generated/error/remaining totals, activity feed, and clear stop-state information.

1.7.2

• Fix: Stopping a bulk process now waits for any already-running image to settle and includes a charged result in the final successful count.
• UX: The stop action clearly states that it stops after the current image, and no later image is scheduled.

1.7.1

• Performance: Bulk processing now starts the next image shortly after a successful generation instead of waiting a fixed 15 seconds.
• Reliability: Bulk processing remains one image at a time for safe cancellation and credit accounting, and honors the AI provider’s retry window when rate-limited.

1.7.0

• UX: Redesigned the account onboarding into a compact, branded automatic/manual connection flow.
• UX: Improved onboarding button alignment and removed unnecessary icon clutter.
• Fix: Email-verification and automatic account connections now retain the validated encrypted API key when WordPress saves plugin settings.

1.5.6

• UX: Dashboard generated stats now show lifetime generations as the main number.
• UX: Added a secondary this-month generation count below the lifetime total.

1.5.5

• UX: Removed the internal bulk queue count from progress messaging to avoid confusing it with billable processing.
• UX: Bulk progress now focuses on the number of images that can run with available plan credits.

1.5.4

• Fix: Bulk progress now uses the remaining plan credits for the current cycle instead of the full queued image count.
• Fix: Bulk processing stops at that same plan-credit limit so the visible progress target matches actual processing.

1.5.3

• UX: Corrected dashboard credit labels for annual plans with rollover balances.
• UX: Dashboard now separates available credits from monthly allowance to avoid misleading “this month” totals.
• Fix: Usage API now returns billing cycle, monthly allowance, and total processed data for consistent dashboard stats.

1.5.2

• UX: Clarified annual-plan bulk credit messaging so available balance and monthly allowance are not confused.
• UX: Bulk progress now shows the credit-limited processable total instead of implying the full queued cap can run immediately.

• Compliance: Removed unexpected root markdown file from the production plugin package.

• Fix: The browser now waits before scheduling the next billable bulk request and clears that scheduled request immediately on cancel.

1.4.96

• Fix: Prevent duplicate admin JavaScript initialization that could send two generation requests from one click.
• Fix: Bulk processing now creates a cancellable process before starting billable image batches.
