#### Improved
* Administrators now see detailed, actionable error messages when Views or entries cannot be displayed, instead of the generic "You are not allowed to view this content." message.
* Custom CSS and JavaScript settings now support placeholders that are automatically replaced with View-specific values. This makes it easy to write custom styles that apply to a single View without affecting others on the same page. [Read about the new placeholders]
* The "Created By" field on the Edit Entry page now includes AJAX-powered search, making it easy to find and select users.
#### Fixed
* JavaScript error breaking Edit Entry functionality when forms use conditional logic on buttons.
* Unnecessary database queries running on every page load when GravityView caching was disabled, potentially causing performance issues.
* Multi-column List fields on the Edit Entry page displayed serialized array data (e.g., `a:1:{i:0;s:0:"";}`) instead of remaining empty when revealed via conditional logic.
* REST API requests for single entries now properly respect View settings like "Prevent Direct Access" and REST API restrictions.
* PHP 8.4 implicit nullable parameter deprecation warnings.
* Name field now respects hidden input settings configured in Gravity Forms (e.g., hiding Prefix, Middle Name or Suffix).
* Some hooks were not removed when switching lightbox provider.
* Merge tag picker not appearing in the View editor when Yoast SEO Premium is active.
#### Updated
* [Foundation] to version 1.7.1.
#### Developer Updates
* Added `gk/gravityview/custom-code/placeholders` filter to modify or add custom placeholders for the Custom CSS and JavaScript settings.
* The `VIEW_SELECTOR` placeholder is hard-coded to `.gv-container.gv-container-{view id}`. If you have removed those classes by using the `gravityview/render/container/class` filter, the `VIEW_SELECTOR` placeholder will not work as expected; use the `VIEW_ID` placeholder instead.
* View Custom CSS and JavaScript is now output only once per View, even when the same View is embedded multiple times on a page.
