3/ - Added new CSS helper method to rewrite relative URLs in stylesheets that will be printed inline using regex only to prevent having to pass them through the parser. This improves compatibility when using the perfmatters_rucss_inline_stylesheets filter. 👍
- Made some adjustments to clean_html regex pattern to avoid potential backtracking which could end up hitting a PCRE limit in some cases.
- Made plugin UI styles adjustments in preparation for WordPress 7. 🎨

2/ - Added additional logic to used CSS generation to better deal with layer elements that are declared without a content block.
- Added PHP Scoper to our plugin development workflow to be able to silo specific third-party libraries to prevent conflicts with other plugins. 👨‍🔧
- Removed built-in stylesheet exclusion for Bricks' layer files. We recommend clearing used CSS after updating.

1/ Version 2.6.0 of our Perfmatters plugin is live!

- Updated PHP CSS Parser library to 9.3.0. This includes many improvements for our Remove Unused CSS feature (more accurate parsing/compatibility). ⚡
- *New* perfmatters_rucss_logged_in filter that allows you to force used CSS to run when logged in (still front-end only) and create separate copies of used CSS for logged-in requests. This is experimental and only for advanced users; results may vary.
