This release improves the handling of shortcodes and File Upload fields, and fixes an issue where a View would fail to render.
#### ✨ Improved
* Excerpts and content previews now automatically remove GravityView shortcodes for cleaner content display in archives, widgets, and feeds.
* Allow PDF files to bypass secure download URLs when the “Use Direct File Path for Media” setting is enabled for a File Upload field.
* Shortcodes can now accept special characters that WordPress ignores.
