    • Made a number of JS strings available for translation.
    • Removed a number of plugin settings from autoload for improved performance.
    • Improved the plugin's metadata and added the licensing information.
    • Long URL strings in activity log events are now automatically truncated. Full URL can be seen with just a click.

    • Updated the "Help & Contact Us" page; improved text and added more relevant information.
    • Improved several UI sections in the Third Party Connections module.
