= 1.1.2 =
* Fixed alt text not appearing in Gutenberg immediately after image upload — alt text is now generated synchronously during upload, with automatic background retry if the initial attempt fails.
* Fixed "Overwrite existing alt texts" toggle defaulting to on in the "Generate Selected" dialog — now defaults to off, consistent with the "Generate All" dialog.
* Fixed database schema incompatibility that could silently remove the unique index on the reference table during plugin updates.
* Fixed API key verification to use constant-time comparison, preventing timing-based brute-force attacks.

= 1.1.1 =

* Added automatic exclusion of AltPilot assets from caching plugin optimization pipelines (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, Autoptimize, W3 Total Cache).

* Added cancellation support for single-image and edit-alt modals — in-flight requests are now aborted immediately.
* Improved no-credits handling: bulk generation stops immediately when credits run out and shows a friendly toast message.
* Improved credit counter: sidebar balance refreshes automatically after generation completes, credits run out, or generation is cancelled.
* Improved Generate All: now respects the active image filter (All / With Alt Text / Without Alt Text).
* Improved Generate All dialog: closes automatically when generation is complete.
* Improved Generate All: "Overwrite existing alt texts" is now off by default.
* Improved image list: images are sorted newest-first.
* Improved batch size dropdown: defaults to "All", redesigned with checkmark selection.

* Improved settings page: "SSL Security" section renamed to "Advanced Settings".
* Improved settings save: page reloads 200 ms after the success toast instead of waiting longer.
* Fixed progress bar calculating percentage against total selected images instead of actually processable images when credits are insufficient — bar now correctly reflects processed vs. available credits.

* Fixed dialog state not being fully reset on close in Generate All and Bulk Generate.
* Fixed CSS class typo in modal overlay causing incorrect styling.
