Added “Create New” and “Import” buttons to the Shortcode page header for better navigation.

Implemented iframe-based preview for strict style isolation and better performance.

Fixed CSS specificity issues where saved styles could override live preview changes.

Resolved browser event handling for numeric inputs to ensure immediate preview updates.

Solved Shortcode backward compatibility issues with legacy data.

Resolved Pro feature access issues with legacy license status.

Enhanced frontend asset loader with conditional dependencies; loads Waypoints and Touch scripts only when enabled in settings to reduce page weight.

Optimized inline JS injection timing for smoother rendering across admin and frontend contexts.

Hardened AJAX/REST flows with stricter nonce verification and safe JSON output sanitization in ImageApi.

Minor stability fixes across shortcode rendering and widget output escaping.
