Introducing a range of new features, improvements, and fixes to enhance functionality and user experience. New features include prev/next post alignment settings in Post Navigation, a “Time zone” setting for the Countdown element, and additional color and size settings for arrows in the Nestable slider. The Builder has been updated with new attributes and functionalities, including the addition of a “data-control-group” attribute and enhanced element deselection options.
Improvements focus on enhancing existing features for better performance and user accessibility. These include improved dynamic data parsing, better background-color application in Offcanvas, enhanced Popup backdrop handling, and refined draggability in the Structure Panel. The update also addresses issues with aria-current checks, template search auto-focus, and accessibility in the Search element.
Numerous fixes resolve issues across various components, such as Nav menus, Builder panel controls, Custom CSS, and more. Fixes address specific problems like incorrect pagination placeholder values, PHP errors in toolset usage, and Safari-specific issues. Additionally, improvements have been made to the handling of interactions in popups, product stock styling, and nested sliders, among other elements. This comprehensive update aims to streamline the user experience, enhance performance, and resolve any existing issues.
