== Upgrade Notice ==

See changelog for upgrade changes.


== Changelog ==

= 5.4 (02/03/2026) =
* Improvement: Updates Translate_Page_Weglot::manage_trailing_slash() to bypass trailing-slash enforcement when the request targets WordPress admin or REST API endpoints
* Improvement: Prevents sitemap XML lastmod values from being translated by adding lastmod to the default exclusion list returned by Option_Service_Weglot::get_exclude_blocks()
* Improvement: Adds an optional AI-translation disclaimer injection step to the HTML translation flow (weglot_treat_page) before content is sent to the parser.
* Improvement: Improves Translate_Service_Weglot::weglot_translate() to support WP Engine hosting by optionally processing the rendered page via the final_output filter instead of always relying on ob_start()
* Improvement: Removes the ImageSourceSet DOM checker (img[srcset] / WordType::IMG_SRC) from src/Parser/Check/Dom, relying on existing ImageSource/DomFormatter logic to handle srcset without a dedicated checker.
* Security: phpunit/phpunit in composer.json from ^4 || ^6 to ^9.6.33
* Fix: Prevents runtime errors during formatting when word collections are shorter than expected.
* Fix: Fixes out-of-bounds/index errors during formatting by making DomFormatter use a null-coalescing lookup ($translatedWords[$i + $index] ?? null) before applying translations.
