AR for WordPress

=8.36=
* Fix: 3D Gallery Builder now uses the same in-component AR activation flow as User Upload on Android (slot ar-button handled by <model-viewer>), preventing WebXR ar-status: failed for gallery-generated models.

=8.35=
* 3D Gallery endpoint (ar-gallery.php): send correct Content-Type: model/gltf+json for dynamically generated glTF (previously reused the artwork image MIME type, which could break Android Scene Viewer and strict clients).
* Gallery responses now echo raw JSON from wp_json_encode instead of passing through wp_kses_post, avoiding accidental alteration of the glTF payload.
* Gallery glTF responses use Content-Disposition: inline for more reliable in-browser and AR fetches.

=8.34=
* Fixed file upload restrictions to only apply to AR-related uploads, allowing CSV files and other non-AR file types to be uploaded normally for WordPress imports/exports and WooCommerce product imports
* File type validation now correctly preserves WordPress default allowed file types while still restricting AR model uploads to GLB, GLTF, USDZ, JPG, PNG, and WebP formats

=8.33=
* Introduced AR Insights, providing real-time analytics and usage stats directly in your WordPress dashboard and on a dedicated Insights page. Now you can monitor AR model views, device breakdowns (iOS/Android/Desktop), and top-performing models at a glance. The Insights dashboard widget offers quick access to essential stats, while the full Insights page delivers in-depth analytics, historical trends, and engagement metrics – helping you understand your audience and optimize your AR content.
* Added optional Google Analytics handoff for AR Insights events, including a Measurement ID field in AR Settings and support for ar_analytics_google_analytics_settings filters so you can forward viewer, launch, and variant data into GA4 or a dataLayer.
* Introduced the AR Onboarding assistant with a guided Shepherd tour, contextual help panel, and searchable FAQs inside the WordPress admin.
* Added persistent tour state per user with manual relaunch controls and quick-access documentation links.
* Fixed animation play/pause button display

=8.32=
