For everyone

• Upgraded: Now uses TSF database version 5140.
• Added:
  • New setting under “SEO Settings → Schema.org → Breadcrumbs” to choose between meta titles or page titles for breadcrumb output.
    • Meta titles are the custom SEO titles inputted via the SEO settings.
    • Page titles are the plain titles from the editor.
    • For existing sites, meta titles will be used by default (backward compatible).
    • For new sites, page titles will be used by default.

For developers

    • Added index breadcrumb_use_meta_title. Default 0. Set to 1 on upgrade for backward compatibility.
• PHP API notes:
  • Changed:
    • The_SEO_Framework\Meta\Breadcrumbs::get_breadcrumb_list() (tsf()->breadcrumbs()->get_breadcrumb_list()) now accepts a second parameter $options:
      • use_meta_title (bool|null): Whether to use meta titles instead of page titles. Defaults to the breadcrumb_use_meta_title option.
