2.30 / 4.27

Versions 2.30 (Premium) and 4.27 (free) include a bunch of new features and bug fixes. The biggest bug fix is related to multisite searching, where the post weights weren’t calculated correctly before.

There’s also a small security fix related to meta queries using regular expressions, which matters when Relevanssi is used with Relevanssi Live Ajax Search.
