We're pleased to announce the release of 4SEF version 1.2.1 - Beta. This is a pre-version, test-only of the final upcoming release of 4SEF!
IMPORTANT: 4SEF is still in beta testing phase. This means it's in the final stages of testing and should be used only with caution as some bugs may happen when used in the real world. Beta testing is meant to identify these issues that cannot be discovered during develoment and internal testing.
We recommend using it on test copies of your website only. If you decide to test on your real website, make sure you have a backup on hand so that you can restore things to their previous state in case something goes wrong.
Here are the highlights:
Controls to insert article ID in URL should offer to inject id before or after the article name. Id injection does not work due to this
Please see this page for a full changelog. This release is immediately available both from the download area and using the one-click Joomla! updater of your web site.

Better layout at very low width
Setting for whether to include menu item title in Uncategorised category links is not properly imported from sh404SEF
Pagination not created properly on Joomla 4
Cannot save extension configuration if they have a space or other special character in their display name
Actual PHP fatal errors are not logged to error file when building some URLs, instead a Call to a member function error() on null error is logged.
