Added support for Content Signals policy. Tell bots which use of your content you allow.
Added option to decide if automatic change detection runs on entire page or on just main content. Use the latter if your pages have modules with random or often updated content, causing 4SEO to re-analyze pages too often

Possible PHP warning on Structured data Event rule, if Location Name is a custom field, but no value has been set in the item for it
Under some rare circumstances, a PHP warning showing about using foreach() on null can be visible on page (if server is configured to display errors). No consequence on operations.
