Latest changelog entry
- Fixed: PHP 8 compatibility, so a gallery shortcode with a limit on a deleted, empty or unknown gallery, or a non-numeric gutter or crop size, no longer causes a fatal error that takes the whole page down.
- Fixed: The Addons, About Us, Getting Started, Lite vs Pro and Support pages now show their title in the browser tab and no longer log a PHP deprecation notice.
- Fixed: When another plugin adds a taxonomy to galleries, the Envira menu no longer hides the wrong items.
- Fixed: Fix Gallery on the Support page now saves the images it repairs and removes images whose file has been deleted.

Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
