          2.3.3<\/h4>\n\n
            \n
          • Maintenance release: republished 2.3.2 content under a new tag to ensure the WP.org plugin directory receives the latest code (the prior tag had been packaged from an outdated working copy).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

            2.3.2<\/h4>\n\n
              \n
            • NEW: Frontend dashboard widgets as shortcodes<\/strong> -- the Data Overview, Generation Calendar, and Recent Posts Activity admin widgets can now be embedded on any page via [aistma_data_overview], [aistma_generation_calendar], and [aistma_recent_activity]<\/li>\n
            • FIX: Shortcode rendering on the frontend<\/strong> -- widget classes are now loaded outside the admin context so the new shortcodes render their HTML instead of producing empty output<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

              2.3.1<\/h4>\n\n
                \n
              • FIX: Insufficient credits after subscription cancellation<\/strong> -- wizard now re-enrolls in the free tier when the gateway no longer authorizes generation, not only when no API key is stored<\/li>\n
              • FIX: Gateway is the single source of truth for credits<\/strong> -- removed the local credit ledger so a stale local count cannot block generation when the gateway has valid credits<\/li>\n
              • FIX: Wizard auto-enrollment<\/strong> -- calls \/wizard-enroll-free and stores the returned gateway API key, then re-checks the subscription before generating<\/li>\n
              • FIX: API keys masked in settings page<\/strong> -- only last 10% of stored keys is shown<\/li>\n
              • FIX: Dashboard 'Create Story Now'<\/strong> -- wizard initializes reliably from the dashboard widget; rating modal excluded from dashboard to prevent fadeIn crash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                2.3.0<\/h4>\n\n
                  \n

                • NEW: Externalized Styles<\/strong> \u2014 Migrated inline CSS\/JS to external files for better performance<\/li>\n
                • SECURITY: Authenticated Gateway Client Flow<\/strong> \u2014 Server-side authentication for gateway requests, removed browser-exposed auth<\/li>\n
                • FIX: Subscription Email Updates<\/strong> \u2014 Users can now update their subscription email anytime for account management<\/li>\n
                • IMPROVED: Subscription Security<\/strong> \u2014 CSRF protection with proper nonce verification<\/li>\n
                • IMPROVED: Type Consistency<\/strong> \u2014 Fixed null\/int type handling for managed subscriptions<\/li>\n
                • TESTED: Full Feature Coverage<\/strong> \u2014 Added unit tests for auth headers and subscription detection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                    • Improved error messages and user redirects to plans tab<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
