20261 release

  1. Free Assets Library 2.3.0Latest

    • Fix: Openverse images now load again — restored after the previous upstream API host was retired.
    • New: Image searches now route through the central Free Assets Library API at https://images.surror.com. Popular queries serve from a shared edge cache, so repeat searches feel noticeably faster.
    • Improvement: The bundled Pixabay API key has been removed from the plugin. The key now lives only on the central API, eliminating a long-standing shared rate-limit concern across all installs.
    • Improvement: Updated compatibility for WordPress 7.0.
    • Improvement: Removed the deprecated internal usage-tracking module and the legacy admin welcome-notice module. Cleaner admin UI, smaller plugin footprint. Privacy and terms now live at https://surror.com/privacy/ and https://surror.com/terms/.
    • Internal: Plugin response-parsing updated to handle the new unified API envelope. Existing filter UI (license, orientation, color, safe-search, editor’s choice) is unchanged.
