= 4.0.0
* New: optional AI features, with your own API key of OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google Gemini or Mistral AI. Nothing is sent to an AI provider until you click an AI button, and AI can be switched off with one click

* Fixed: typos in several settings
* Includes all fixes of 3.0.6
= 3.0.6
* Fixed: with the spintax rotation “Random Persistent”, sites with many pages could run out of PHP memory,
because the plugin stored the chosen options of every visited page. New choices are now calculated instead
of stored, so the data no longer grows. Choices stored by earlier versions are kept, so no text changes
* New: the Status tab warns when the stored choices of a settings page are large, and lets you remove them
to free the memory (those pages switch to another version of their text once, and keep it)
* Fixed: the excerpts on the archive page now show the same text as the page itself with “Random Persistent”
* Fixed: the Status tab reported a missing placeholder in the page title when it was written with a capital,
like [Location], while case sensitive placeholders were switched off
= 3.0.5
* Fixed: the conditional shortcode showed nothing on generated pages since 3.0. Matching
search terms and locations now also ignores capitals and extra spaces, and shortcodes inside a block are rendered
* Fixed: the Custom Archive Page redirected to a ?nw_seo_settings= URL instead of the archive URL
* Fixed: themes with a template builder now load the template of the Custom Archive Page on the archive URL
* Fixed: the read more link and the canonical fallback of the archive page used a wrong URL
* Fixed: PHP warnings in the previous and next links when search terms, locations or a generated URL are missing

* Improved compatibility with Elementor Pro Theme Builder: Theme Builder templates (header, footer, single, archive, etc.) now apply correctly on generated SEO pages under certain site configurations
= 3.0.2
* Fix compatibility with Avada/Fusion Builder: Spintax is now processed in an early pass (priority 1) before certain page builders can escape or transform {a|b} patterns, with a late pass (priority 99999999) retained for spintax injected by other plugins after shortcode rendering
* Both pass priorities are overridable via add_filter(‘nsg_spintax_early_priority’) and add_filter(‘nsg_spintax_late_priority’)
= 3.0.1
* Tested WordPress Compatibility up to 7.0
