 	* New `wpseo_register_extra_replacements` action hook which lets plugin/theme builders add new `%%...%%` replacement variables - including relevant help texts -. See [function documentation](https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/blob/master/inc/wpseo-functions.php) for an example of how to use this new functionality.

 	* Add filter to allow other plugins to interact with our metaboxes outside of the standard pages - props [Jrf](http://profiles.wordpress.org/jrf).
 	* Replace variables through an AJAX call, which makes them work in the post editor too and allows for more variables to be replaced in the title.

 * Other enhancements
 	* Security improvement: As the .htaccess / robots.txt files are site-wide files, on a multi-site WP installation they will no longer be available for editing to individual site owners. For super-admins, the 'SEO -> Edit Files' admin page will now be accessible through the Network Admin.
