What’s improved? 🐞
...
Dashboard bugfixes and styling
Improved validation on various create/edit forms. Forms should be less buggy and behave more predictably while you are entering your content.
Fixed thumbnails, sizes, and image/video dimensions in site Media Libraries. Images and videos will now show the actual file sizes and dimensions of all your media files when you browse your library.
Fixed missing “Upload Files” button on smaller screen sizes. If you are using an iPad to enter content in the Dashboard, the “upload” button should fit on your screen and show properly.
Fixed a bug with editing custom pages. You should be able to edit custom page headers correctly.
Rearranged buttons in the Dashboard area. The buttons should be in more intuitive positions now.
Bugfixes on site homepages
Fixed buttons on Alphabet pages and widgets. The first letter is now selected by default, and the buttons work correctly for all characters (including letters like “.” / period)
Fixed banner image auto-sizing. The correct size should now be used, so homepage banners will not be blurry.
General improvements
Styling improvements on public-side Dictionary/Songs/Stories view.
Visual improvements on mobile and tablet screen sizes.
Performance improvements for content loading and search.
Performance improvements for media loading.
