# Change Log

LLM Crawler for WordPress
Changelog & Version History

    

                Version 0.8.1
                Latest
                Patch
            
            June 2026
        

Stability Fix

Fixed a critical issue where saving the plugin settings on 0.8.0 could exhaust PHP memory and return an HTTP 500 error - settings now save reliably
The internal version marker now round trips correctly through settings sanitization, preventing a repeated re-save loop
Hardened discovery route registration so it never runs before WordPress has initialized its rewrite system

    

                Version 0.8.0
                Major Release
            
            June 2026
