* Added the woocommerce_product_search_process_query_object_term_limit filter.
* Fixed a wrong variable used in category filter when showing parent navigation.
* Fixed an issue with incorrect term counts, due to the wrong variable used in the term count evaluation for hierarchical taxonomies.
* Fixed wrong product counts with variable products and product filters (faceted searches), where certain product filter combinations would show more products related to terms than were actually available.
* Improved search weight handling for product categories so that weights of parent categories are taken into account in their child categories.
* Improved product indexing to sync to changes in terms from product taxonomies.
* Improved search engine performance thanks to optimizations related to object type lookups.

* Added the WPS_GROUPS_CACHE constant to control group-based caching.

* Introduced fixed and adaptive object limits for scalability trade-offs on very large product sets, where complete result sets are QoS unfeasonable while incomplete result sets are QoS acceptable.
* Added the WPS_OBJECT_LIMIT constant that controls fixed or adaptive object limits, integer for fixed limit, 0 for unlimited, ‘AUTO’ or ‘AUTOREPORT’ for adaptive limits.
* Added the WPS_OBJECT_LIMIT_FACTOR constant that controls adaptive object limits.

* Added the woocommerce_product_search_shutdown_remove_all_actions filter.
* Solved interference with filter requests from other plugins that hook on the ‘query_vars’ filter, e.g. WCS adds ‘sku’ creating a conflict with filter requests for front page shops.
* Added the woocommerce_product_search_query_vars and woocommerce_product_search_query_vars_intersect filters.
* Improved the

shortcode performance by avoiding duplicate queries that can occur when plugins request page content outside main loop.
