✅ Highlights

Events now include a polished calendar shortcode (with iCal sync options) and better event pages, including map directions and stronger SEO metadata for sharing on social and search engines.

3) New external sharing options for events
Admin users can now generate embeddable widgets—calendar, event card grid, and single‑event cards—to paste on other sites or marketing pages.

4) Obituaries dashboard improvements (moderation + access control)
The obituary workspace now includes moderation tools, management tabs, and a built‑in way to grant or remove obituary access for staff without editing full user roles.

5) Form Builder upgrades (payment + vendor onboarding)
The admin form builder now supports vendor onboarding workflows and optional payment integration tied to membership packages—making it easier to collect info and payments in one flow.

6) Cleaner business listing URLs + improved SEO metadata
Business listings now use a clearer URL structure and improved SEO metadata (description, social tags, schema), helping listings look better on Google and social shares.

7) Password reset flow is more polished for users
A full forgot‑password and reset‑password flow now lives on branded pages, with a clearer email subject and consistent sender address.

8) Weather & lake data reliability improvements
The weather/lake widget now includes better fallback handling, improved status logging, and more detailed data (like humidity and rain chance) when available.
