04.06.2026 Version: 2.28.0

Added:
        - Styles for WordPress 7.0 compatibility
        - TrxAddons: new trx_addons_action_allow_upload_glb filter to allow/disallow .glb (3D model) uploads.
        - TrxAddons: NavMenu Widget: basic RTL support (style level).
        - TrxAddons: WooCommerce API: filters to disable selected TrxAddons components (custom attribute types, Product Filters widget, etc.) so third-party plugins can register their own conflict-free.
        - TrxAddons: Elementor: custom-cart (Elementor Pro) selectors in the Cart Widget, and forced Swiper styles in WooProducts (newer Elementor loads them only when a Slider is present).
        - Mobile menu: keyboard focus looping (Tab from last - first; Shift+Tab from first - last).
    Changed:
        - TrxAddons: hardened AJAX request handlers with extra checks on potentially unsafe areas.
        - TrxAddons: AI Helper: refreshed default OpenAI models (added GPT-5.4/5.5, removed outdated).
        - TrxAddons: Cart Widget: higher selector priority so cart settings override plugin/theme styles.
        - TrxAddons: clear Elementor file cache after demo import and layout-kit creation.
        - Sticky options tabs panel in theme/plugin settings.
    Fixed:

        - Slider Widget: added "slides_min_width" parameter to slider settings for adjusting the minimum width of slides - this determines the maximum number of simultaneously visible slides in responsive mode.
