+* Fix: Product and Variations not showing in POS
+  Description: The WC REST API response can be too large in some cases causing a 502 server error.
+  - Product and Variation descriptions are not truncated to 100 characters for the POS to reduce response size.
+  - Yoast SEO is now programmatically disabled for the POS to reduce response size.
+  - A message is now logged when the WC REST API product or variation response is too large.
+
+= 1.0.0 = 2023/05/03
 * Complete rewrite of the plugin with improved functionality and performance.
 * Although extensive testing has been done, there may still be bugs.
 * We recommend updating only when you have time to deal with potential issues.
