Brand new version of KnowledgePress plugin is here, with smaller scope of changes, and some new features as well, along with the changes to the plugin system requirements, some fixes and improvements.
Plugin now requires PHP 8.0 or newer, and old (unsupported and insecure) PHP 7.x versions are no longer supported. If you attempt to run on PHP 7.x, you will most likely end up with fatal errors. The PHP requirements will allow us to modernize the code base, improve security by design and use more great PHP features.
Plugin has one new major feauture: it can generate virtual LLMS text file (llms.txt) that contains links and information for all documents in the knowledge base that can be grouped by the content type or product and content type, for use by LLMS AI engines to better understand your knowledge base. This file is not added to the website as a real file, so if you already have the llms.txt this new one will not work. Using filter, you can change the llms.txt file path to use /kb/ prefix. Plugin also has additional filters to control generated file, including adding of the new content.

Table of contents feature has been improved to generate natural anchor has based on the heading title, and it also adds the hash link to copy the exact anchor URL. Plugin has integration with coreActivity, and for now, it includes the even to log access to the LLMS text file. There are several new settings added, some descriptions and information expanded.
This version fixes few smaller bugs, including some issues with the terms handling, and some PHP 8.2+ related warnings.
