A note from Joy

This release introduces several key enhancements and fixes. Major additions include a force conversion option in the Image Converter to bypass size checks, local storage persistence for accordion states in the Menu Manager, and a new custom order review heading for WooCommerce. Security is bolstered with a fix for the Custom Login URL vulnerability. General improvements cover AJAX URL resolution stability, Code Manager full-page editor UI, and Dashboard Widgets removal reliability. Special thanks to our community contributors for their detailed bug reports and feature requests.
