VoxAI – AI Text to Speech, Audio & Summary for Posts

1.1.1 — June 2026

• Update: Updated the plugin name and description for better search engine visibility.
• Minor formatting corrections in the readme.

1.1.0 — May 2026

• New: WordPress 7.0 AI integration — VoxAI now uses the native WP AI Client (provider-agnostic) for summary generation when a connector is configured in Settings → Connectors.
• New: Abilities API — registers voxai/generate-audio and voxai/generate-summary as discoverable abilities visible in the Abilities Explorer.
• New: Summary Formatting — Added a setting to choose the output format of the summary (Continuous Paragraph or Bulleted List).
• Improvement: Robust Fallback System (“Cardápio”) — If WP AI, Claude, or Gemini fails (e.g. missing keys or “No models found”), the system gracefully and silently falls back to the native OpenAI key.
• Improvement: When selecting Bulleted List formatting, the AI now strictly enforces proper Unicode bullet characters (•).
• Improvement: Detected summaries already generated by the official WordPress AI plugin are reused, avoiding redundant API calls.
• Fix: Resolved a fatal error that caused the summary generation button to fail due to a missing DocBlock terminator.
• Fix: Fixed a PHP Notice in WordPress 7.0 by correctly hooking wp_register_ability to wp_abilities_api_init instead of init.

1.0.8

• Fix: Resolved a timezone issue causing the “Top Posts This Month” chart to fail filtering plays correctly on some servers.
• Fix: Improved frontend listener tracking reliability by migrating from JSON blobs to FormData to prevent adblockers and restrictive browsers from dropping the telemetry data.

1.0.7

• Fix: Added cache buster and delay to bypass CDN/cache 412 errors when loading newly generated audio.
• Fix: Statistics panel now correctly filters “Without Audio” count to only include enabled post types.

1.0.6

• Fix: Resolved audio player source error.
• Fix: Corrected issues with the statistics page display.

1.0.5

• Improvement: Statistics panel UI restructure. The global chart now displays a Top Posts ranking instead of a daily plays chart for better insights.
• Improvement: Telemetry tracking split. The Free plugin now only processes basic metrics (plays and listeners), keeping the database leaner and faster. Advanced retention metrics (listen time and completion rate) are strictly handled by the Pro add-on.
• Fix: Removed complex SQL aggregate functions from the Free tracking table.

1.0.4 — May 2026

• Improvement: Progress messages during audio generation (Prepare / Process Chunks / Finalize) are now fully translatable in both Gutenberg and Classic Editor.
• Fix: Progress text was previously hardcoded in Portuguese; now uses the WordPress i18n system with pt_BR fully translated.

1.0.3 — May 2026

• New: GitHub Updater — the WordPress dashboard now shows update notifications automatically when a new version is released.
• Fix: Cost calculator now works correctly with Classic Editor loaded without the official plugin (robust TinyMCE binding).

1.0.2 — May 2026

• Bug fix: accordion now opens correctly on posts without generated audio.
• Improvement: accordion and audio player are only rendered when their content exists.
• Removed: voxai_faq shortcode and FAQ block (placeholder feature removed).
