Backup                                                                                                    

• External sources: added support for Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and S3 as backup destinations with OAuth flows, AES-256-GCM encrypted credentials, and upload drivers
• Scheduling and retention: added plugin-side fallback scheduler with 2-hour grace period, configurable retention limits, and automatic cleanup of old backups
• Incremental backups: differential backups that only include files changed since the last backup
• Integrity verification: SHA-256 checksum computation on upload and download to detect corruption
• UI: added retention input, incremental toggle, checksum display, and external source management to backup settings
• Fixes: fixed cron retrying every hour when backups keep failing, fixed silent execution failures on some hosts, fixed crash reporting, added destination icons to backup records list

Media Center (new)

• Core: new media management interface replacing the default WordPress Media Library, with REST API backend and vanilla JS frontend
• Organization: hierarchical folders (3 levels max) with color coding, flat color-coded tags, date grouping, and MIME type filtering
• File browser: grid and list views with search, sort (date, name, size), pagination, multi-select, drag-and-drop uploads, and bulk actions (delete, move, tag, ZIP download)
• File detail modal: metadata display, editable title/alt/caption/description, folder and tag pickers, thumbnail listing with copy URL and download
• Image editor: crop with aspect ratio presets, adjustments (brightness, contrast, exposure, highlights, shadows, saturation, vibrance), filters (sepia, grayscale, hue rotation, blur, sharpen), flip, rotate, and auto-improve
• Compression: quality slider, WebP and AVIF conversion with server capability detection, EXIF stripping, live comparison with draggable slider, and preset pills (WebP Lossy, WebP Lossless, AVIF)
• Backup tab: browse, preview, and restore previous file versions from the Backup service
• Context menus: right-click actions on folders (rename, color, subfolder, move, delete), tags (rename, color, delete), and files (preview, edit, duplicate, delete, copy URL)
• Drag and drop: move files to folders or add tags by dragging, custom ghost showing file count with stacked card effect

Insights Panel

• Media tab: displays media files from the current page with thumbnails, filenames, and sizes; clicking opens the full Media Center file detail modal
• CSS isolation: modal styles scoped to prevent theme interference, SVG reset for icons, forced range input resets

Remote

• Fixes: fixed site disappearing from Remote after plugin update, fixed phantom/stale RakuWP update entries reappearing after remote updates

Plugin

• Version management: read plugin version from disk header instead of stale constant, asset versioning via file modification time
• Cache: auto-create .htaccess with LiteSpeed CacheVary, purge WebP/AVIF copies after image edits, bypass LiteSpeed cache for blob fetches
