259 +- New: Write with AI now accepts audio and video attachments — drop in a Loom, a Zoom recording or a voice note and BetterDocs transcribes it, lets you correct the transcript, then writes the doc from it. Up to 25 MB, using your own OpenAI or Gemini key
260 +- New: Listen — a pill beside reading time that reads the article aloud in the reader's browser, with play, pause, seek and speed controls. Enable it under Settings → Layout → Single Doc → Listen; it also ships in the Reading Time block and Elementor widget, and as the [betterdocs_listen] shortcode
261 +- New: Animated GIFs in docs are served as a looping, muted video instead of a GIF, cutting page weight substantially, with an editor UI to link an MP4 and a poster image to an existing GIF
262 +- New: AI Actions — a "Copy page" button in the single doc meta row that copies the article as clean Markdown, or opens it in ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Studio, Perplexity or Grok with the page as context. Every doc is also published as Markdown at <doc-url>.md so AI assistants can read it. Enabled by default; configure under Settings → Layout → Single Doc → AI Actions, with full Customizer styling including Icon Color. On block themes and with Elementor Theme Builder it ships inside the "Reading Time, Listen and AI Action" block and widget, and the [betterdocs_ai_actions] shortcode places it anywhere
263 +- Improvement: Search now ranks exact title matches above older partial matches, instead of sorting ties oldest-first
264 +- Improvement: The Category Grid block script now loads only on pages where the block actually renders
265 +- Fixed: AI features ignored the AI platform you selected and required an OpenAI key regardless
266 +- Fixed: A site could crash when the AI Chatbot loaded before BetterDocs and Pro loaded after it
267 +- Fixed: Single doc URLs returned 200 instead of a proper 404 on WPML sites
268 +- Fixed: Table of contents, search box and search form could overflow the page on phones, scrolling the page sideways
269 +- Fixed: Single Doc Layout 7 scrolled sideways at 360px, and the reactions box overflowed on phones
270 +- Fixed: A collapsible table of contents placed on a regular page could not be expanded on phones
271 +- Fixed: The doc sidebar shifted after page load, and sidebar items could stack incorrectly
272 +- Fixed: Synced patterns containing BetterDocs blocks lost their styling on most pages, and stale Essential Blocks CSS kept loading in the widget stylesheet on every page
273 +- Fixed: GIFs served as video ignored the Image block's size and styles, lost "Expand on click", stayed frozen with no controls when the browser blocked autoplay, and rendered as an empty box when linked to a non-video attachment
274 +- Fixed: The REST API and RSS feed returned video markup for converted GIFs
