Release

Current version: 1.0.17

1.0.17

• Removed the image-derived blurred hero background entirely.
• Switched the hero to a clean full-cover photo crop so cards have no faded/ugly side-fill and no squeezed image rendering.

1.0.16

• Rebalanced the hero side-fill from punchy to cinematic so it looks cleaner in the Facebook feed.
• Darkened and softened the blurred ambient background to keep the main photo sharp without faded or neon side bars.

1.0.15

• Made the blurred hero fill more vivid for stronger Facebook feed impact.
• Reduced the final white wash and added deeper contrast so background fill keeps color instead of looking faded.

1.0.14

• Restored richer color and contrast in the blurred hero fill while keeping the stronger blur.
• Reduced the white tint and softened the edge halo so the background blends without looking washed out.

1.0.13

• Increased the blurred fill strength again for portrait/narrow featured images.
• Added edge blending over the hero area so side-fill bands fade softer into the main photo.

1.0.12

• Increased the Daily New Nation Bangla hero fill blur so portrait/narrow featured images keep the main photo in focus.
• Softened the blurred background layer with lower opacity and calmer saturation/brightness.

1.0.11

• Restricted PhotoCard download buttons to Editor-level users and above.
• Locked card data generation behind the same capability for REST, AJAX, shortcode, and Elementor paths.

1.0.10

• Added math-based browser fitting that measures available space and scales the title/subheading group when needed.
• Improved vertical centering between the featured image and CTA so title, shoulder, and subheading blocks keep balanced breathing room.

1.0.9

• Added editorial subheading support from _editorial_subheading.
• Added smart title/subheading density calculations for balanced Daily New Nation Bangla cards.
• Added browser-side final fitting to protect CTA spacing.

1.0.8

• Added visual-unit title calculation for smarter short Bangla headline layout.
• Improved vertical balance for very short no-shoulder titles.

1.0.7

• Increased Daily New Nation Bangla headline sizing for clearer mobile and desktop viewing.
• Tuned title buckets against the boss-approved large-title sample while keeping CTA spacing intact.

1.0.6

• Added compact title sizing for short Bangla headlines.
• Matched title start alignment to the approved Daily New Nation Bangla card.
• Improved live-post wrapping to avoid one-word final lines.
• Added extra short-title buckets for wide sports and health headlines.
• Preserved the existing large-title layout for longer short headlines.
