New

• Term Queries: Added “Include terms from this post” (i.e. object_id) param support.
• Term & User Queries: Added {{post_id}} placeholder support for all meta_value params

Improved

• Post Queries can now order by meta value.
• Current Author support now works properly in the editor as well as the frontend. This was an existing issue in GenerateBlocks itself, but I fixed it while I was in there doing some other things.
• User Queries: Post queries running in a user query can now correctly pull the posts associated with that specific user.

Fixed

• Fixed a run time error caused by someone (me) adding the wrong prop.
• Fix type definitions

Fixed

• Fixed a React runtime error.

Fixed

• Fixed version number, add missing plugin list settings link.

New

• Core Block Support setting: Select which core blocks (paragraph, heading, list-item, quote) receive dynamic tag replacements and loop context injection inside GenerateBlocks loops. Configurable from Settings > GB Query Enhancements.
• Command Palette integration: Insert dynamic tags via Cmd+K / Ctrl+K. Searches all registered dynamic tags and inserts at cursor in supported blocks, or copies to clipboard as a fallback.
• {{post_id}} placeholder: Use {{post_id}} in the Meta Value field of Post Query to dynamically insert the current post ID. Useful for relational meta queries inside loops.
• Added extensive filter and action hooks for customizing queries, loop item context, dynamic tag output, and rendered content:
  • Filter query results after execution.
    • gb_query_enhancements_term_query_data / gb_query_enhancements_user_query_data
  • Modify block context per loop item.
    • gb_query_enhancements_term_loop_item_context / gb_query_enhancements_user_loop_item_context
  • Filter individual dynamic tag output.
    • gb_query_enhancements_dynamic_tag_output_{$tag}
  • Control core block support programmatically.
    • gb_query_enhancements_supported_core_blocks / gb_query_enhancements_context_keys
  • Filter rendered loop HTML.
    • gb_query_enhancements_term_query_render_loop_items / gb_query_enhancements_user_query_render_loop_items
  • Action hooks around each loop item render.
    • gb_query_enhancements_term_query_before_loop_item / gb_query_enhancements_term_query_after_loop_item (and user equivalents)
• Hooks reference documentation: Full developer docs for all filters and actions with examples and execution order.

Improved

• Settings page redesign: Card-based layout with status badges, toggle switches, and a cleaner visual hierarchy.
• Dynamic tag type hints and docblocks: Added return types, parameter types, and PHPDoc to Dynamic_Tags methods (with_url, with_fallback, filter_output).
• Code style cleanup: WordPress coding standards spacing fixes, removed stray console.log, cleaned up whitespace in SCSS.
• Test coverage: New tests for Dynamic_Tags (core block support, context keys, context injection), Post_Query ({{post_id}} placeholder), and expanded filter signature tests for Term_Query and User_Query.
• gb_query_enhancements_term_query_args and gb_query_enhancements_user_query_args now pass $attributes and $page as additional parameters.
• gb_query_enhancements_rest_term_query_args and gb_query_enhancements_rest_user_query_args now pass original $args and $attributes.

Fixed

• User meta dynamic tags in editor preview: user_meta tags now correctly resolve against the loop item’s user ID during editor preview, instead of falling back to the current user.
• License activation notice: Fixed a typo ($results instead of $result) that prevented the activation success/error status from displaying correctly.
