  • Added WordPress image-size regeneration and post-editor synchronization after attachment replacement.
  • Added interactive background crop and non-destructive image-layer crop with independent aspect-ratio controls.
  • Added Media Library, computer upload, and clipboard sources for backgrounds and image layers.
  • Added image-layer masks, borders, corner radius, shadow, opacity, flip, rotation, and crop controls.

  • Added multiple selection, grouping and ungrouping, complete-group duplication, visibility, locking, and layer ordering.
  • Added snapping and independently controlled guide-line display.
  • Added display-only preview zoom with fit, slider, percentage, and step controls in all supported editing modes.
  • Expanded drawing tools, line styles, arrows, speech bubbles, text boxes, arch text, and circled marker tools.
  • Added custom font names, recently used fonts, and same-site font-file upload for WOFF2, WOFF, TTF, and OTF.
  • Improved Undo and Redo, reset behavior, inline text editing, keyboard shortcuts, Escape priority, selection frames, and hit testing.
  • Added pre-save validation and clear warnings for new-image saving and irreversible direct replacement.
  • Improved responsive desktop and tablet layouts, including iPad and iPad Mini orientations.
  • Improved English and Japanese localization and removed mixed-language interface labels.
  • Consolidated and audited the JavaScript structure into 12 role-based module files without changing the established settings-panel order.
  • Removed verified unused code and completed syntax, dependency, API, authorization-entry, and package-integrity audits.
  • Fixed saving an edited Image block as a new attachment so the selected block reliably switches to the new attachment without repeated old/new preview flicker.
  • Fixed the pre-save check layout on shorter viewports so its action buttons remain fully accessible.
  • Isolated Image block canvas dimensions from featured-image editing so switching editing targets restores the correct workspace size.
