V1.9.0 of Plugin Released

Dear users,

We released v1.9.0 of the plugin today and would appreciate your feedback on this change. The release includes:

• Added Product Advertising API (PA-API) response caching feature. This feature will prevent PA-API throttle by caching PA-API response and updating the cache asynchronously.
• Added support for Gutenberg editor. We have been working hard to restore the AALB plugin functionality since the launch of Gutenberg editor by WordPress.

Important Notes :
If you use any of the default templates provided by the plugin in the Gutenberg editor, they will continue to work just fine. Further, all custom templates (with the sole exception of custom templates extended from the ProductCarousel template) will also continue to work fine. Due to a technical challenge introduced by the Gutenberg editor, any custom template you created by extending the ProductCarousel template will not work unless you make the following change.

Here’s what you need to do to ensure any custom templates extended from the ProductCarousel continue to work in the Gutenberg editor.

1. Update the plugin to version 1.9.0
2. Look within the code for the custom ProductCarousel template to find the jQuery script which is located at the bottom of the template code and replace it with the following code snippet.
