2.4.0 September 16, 2026
- Added: Photocrati-store customers are now routed to their own account portal from the plugin instead of the Imagely account page.
- Added: A CSS class on gallery images so lazy-load and image-optimization plugins can be told to skip NextGEN galleries.
- Added: Support for the gallery image attribute filter, letting developers add lazy-load opt-out attributes to gallery images.
- Fixed: The "update available" notice no longer keeps returning after you have updated, including on sites where the plugin folder was renamed.
- Fixed: Lazy loading options set in Mosaic Layout Settings — enable, images to show at start, and images to load on scroll — are now applied on the front end instead of being ignored.
- Fixed: Gallery images now refresh straight after you rotate or crop them, instead of visitors seeing the old version.
- Improved: Security hardening on the gallery REST API.
2.3.2 September 3, 2026
- Fixed: Photos appear in the right order in large galleries that load in chunks.
- Fixed: The Pro Lightbox shows full-size photos again instead of stretching a small thumbnail.

- Fixed: Mosaic galleries no longer crop the bottom row of images.
- Fixed: Tile galleries no longer collapse to nothing on themes that don't declare a content width.

- Fixed: Mosaic's last-row setting (Justify / Do not justify / Hide) now takes effect on the front end instead of always justifying.

- Fixed: Filmstrip galleries no longer fail with a server error when an image's file is missing from the server.
2.2.2 July 1, 2026
- Fixed: Prevented a front-end fatal error (white screen) on sites running an outdated or partially updated free NextGEN Gallery plugin. NextGEN Starter now checks for the required gallery component directly and displays an update prompt instead of breaking the site.
2.2.1 June 30, 2026
- Fixed: Activating a license now immediately reflects the updated license status; previously the old status could persist for up to 24 hours.
