Developer notes:
Alerts switched to the e-mail system of the core plugin
New HTML variants for the alert and confirmation e-mails
Template updates for the shortcode and new templates for e-mails and the alert modal
General code refactoring
Accountless alerts functionality uses a new guest user concept, implemented in the core plugin. These users are stored as a CPT, and authenticate to manage their alerts via tokens in the URL
If you customize Job Alerts templates in a theme, the templates will need to be updated to work with the new features. If you integrate with the add-on in another way, nothing should break, but please test and check if any code needs to be updated.
