October 2024 Changelog

October 2024 improved AI outline behavior, post uploader flexibility, task restart safety, and error handling around AI provider waits. It also added more publishing control through XML-RPC and better draft-title checks.

This month tightened the connection between generated article structure and publishing, especially for users posting to WordPress or building outline-driven AI content.

Who this update helps

  • Users generating AI outlines and structured articles.
  • Users publishing through WordPress XML-RPC or WP JSON.
  • Users recovering tasks after forced restarts.
  • Users working with Groq, image scraping, and AI provider errors.

AI outline behavior became stricter

SCM made outline generation more explicit so templates produce predictable heading structures.

  • AI outline supports H2-only workflows.
  • Outline tags now require H3 content when needed instead of silently inserting it.
  • Default AI templates were updated for the new outline behavior.

WordPress posting became more flexible

Post uploader gained more options and safer title checks.

  • XML-RPC can upload images and post as a page.
  • Users can provide a custom xmlrpc.php file path.
  • WP JSON title checks include draft posts.

Task recovery got safer

SCM improved what happens when tasks are restarted or killed.

  • Forced restarts now clear running status on dead tasks.
  • Task restart buttons gained confirmation.
  • AI errors now stop Article Creator from progressing instead of continuing blindly.

AI provider timing was fixed

Several provider-specific wait and retry issues were cleaned up.

  • Groq waits correctly when retry time is returned in minutes.
  • Groq millisecond wait-time errors were fixed.
  • Image scraper logging errors were corrected.
