External services
The plugin connects to external services only for the features that need them:
- Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com): with the default «local» font mode, the selected font files are downloaded once to the site’s server when a slider is saved, and visitors never contact Google. With the «Google» mode the stylesheet is loaded directly from Google. Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Bunny Fonts (fonts.bunny.net): only when selected in the settings, and for previewing fonts in the editor. Privacy policy: https://bunny.net/privacy
- YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com, youtube.com, i.ytimg.com) and Vimeo (player.vimeo.com, vimeo.com, i.vimeocdn.com): only for slides with a background video from these platforms, and to check from the editor that a video can be embedded. Privacy policies: https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://vimeo.com/privacy

Changelog
1.1.2
- Faster pages: the slider stylesheet is loaded only on pages that show a slider, and the background of the first slide starts loading right away.
- Images in the first slide are no longer lazy-loaded, so they appear sooner.
- Animations stop completely while the slider is off screen or the browser tab is hidden, saving battery on phones.
1.1.1
- Slider styles and fonts are now loaded through the WordPress style queue: sliders placed in the page content get their CSS in the page head. Nothing changes in how sliders look.
1.1.0
- The interface is now in English with a complete Italian translation, and it can be translated into other languages.
- The admin bar menu and all messages follow the site language.
1.0.1
- Updates now work without any configuration: no GitHub token is needed.
1.0.0
- First release.
