Development history before 1.0.0
A concise history of the capabilities added and hardened during the 0.x development releases.

Editor/preview context resolution was hardened, the two Velox widgets were explicitly marked dynamic, optimized single-wrapper markup was enabled, and only background-enabled supported layout elements were marked dynamic.

RTL behavior, background performance, custom image-dimension validation, dependency notices, reduced-motion handling and keyboard focus styling were refined.

A polished in-admin documentation/use-case guide, Plugins-screen Documentation action link, and native Elementor Help links were added.

Featured Image Background was added for supported Containers and legacy Sections with runtime source/fallback resolution, responsive position/size/repeat controls and optional overlay.
