New: Added WordPress 7.0 AI Connectors integration. Text generation in Chat, Writer, and editor title/excerpt suggestions can use API keys managed under Settings > Connectors (Auto, Connectors-only, or plugin OpenAI key modes with optional fallback).
New: Added support for Google (Gemini) and Anthropic (Claude) text models through AI Connectors, including dynamic model lists from connected providers.
New: Added Gemini image generation via WordPress AI Client (Connectors). Google image parameters (aspect ratio, orientation, output modalities, and candidate count) are supported.
New: Added Google speech generation settings and Text-to-Speech via Connectors where supported.
New: Replaced Fine-Tuning with Custom AI — custom instructions plus reference file uploads (OpenAI Files and Vector Stores) for GPT in Chat and Writer, using the Responses API with file search when reference files are attached.
New: Added speech-to-text prompt input via microphone recording in Chat, Writer, and Image Generation.
New: Added Writer support for generating tags and featured images, including Gemini-based featured image generation when Connectors are available.
Update: Removed the Assistants panel and related OpenAI Assistants API integration.
Update: Removed Fine-Tuning (dataset creation, job list, and tuned model management). Existing saved initial-tab values for Fine-Tuning or Assistants open the Custom AI tab instead.
Update: Updated Japanese translation files.
Improved: Compatibility with WordPress 7.0.
Improved: Editor sidebar title and excerpt suggestions now work when only WordPress AI Connectors are configured (no plugin OpenAI API key required).
New: Added AI suggest buttons in core document settings panels (excerpt, tags, and featured image), using the same suggestion modals as the AI Assistant panel.
New: Added a “Generate title” button that appears at the top-right of the post title field in the editor canvas when the title is focused.
Improved: Suggest buttons in the AI Assistant panel and document settings now share consistent icons and labels.
Fix: Fixed the post title suggest button not appearing in the block editor canvas (correct editor iframe targeting).
Fix: Fixed suggestion modals showing [object Object] when an API error object was passed to the error display.
Improved: Image generation log actions (upload to Media Library, download, and insert as a block) are available in the free version without a Pro upgrade prompt.
Improved: Chat and Writer UI refresh (engine-aware logs, streaming fallback for Connectors text generation, and expanded provider settings).
