SEO Engine 1.0.2Latest
- Add: Keep Data setting for AI agent visits and private analytics visits, which are now deleted after 365 days by default.
- Fix: Escaped quotes in themes and page builders are now handled, and trailing content is no longer removed, which could break post content.

- Update: The Posts page now uses its own SEO title and description instead of the page title and excerpt.
