2.4.1

  • Fixed: Alt text now correctly persists when generated from both the post media overlay and the main Media Library.

2.4.0

  • Introduce two new plugin-specific constants, AATXT_ENCRYPTION_KEY and AATXT_ENCRYPTION_SALT, allowing API keys to be encrypted independently of WordPress’s own salts.
  • Implement automatic migration of existing encrypted API keys: on upgrade, keys encrypted with the old WP salts are decrypted (if possible) and re-encrypted with the new plugin key.
  • Add an optional info notice on the Auto Alt Text options page showing the ready-to-copy define() statements for wp-config.php.
  • Maintain full backward-compatibility: if the new constants are not defined, the plugin continues to use the WordPress LOGGED_IN_KEY/LOGGED_IN_SALT fallback without interruption.
