Background

Added ‘image+fade’ option in background properties. This will add a fading gradient overlay effect to the background.





Background mode -> image now displays the color picker to select the color for image + color and image + overlay.



Added support for Google Maps background rendering.
You can now use a (static) Google Map image as background in most objects.

[Pablo]

Page

Added 'Disable CSS media query' option to Page Properties. When this option is enabled, then breakpoints will not be published. This may be useful for testing purposes.

Added 'Disable HTML/CSS/JavaScript formatting'. This option disables beautify/minify options for the current page. This may be useful for testing purposes or when you have added code to the page which does not support formatting.

Added 'Disable custom code'. When this option is enabled, then custom code with not be included in the published page. This way you can test the page without custom code. For example, in case something does not work, so you do not have to remove all code.



Added 'Apply these breakpoints to other pages' in Manage Breakpoints. This option applies the breakpoints to other (selected) pages if they do not already exist. Note that this does not affect the layout.

[Pablo]

Photo Gallery/Photo Collage

When loading new images, the gallery will automatically use the meta data of the image (if available).

Added the ability to set a separate 'Thumbnail' image. This allows you to use a different (smaller) version of the image for thumbnails. It is also still possible to automatically generate a thumbnail image. This can be useful for example if you want a use a square image for the preview and the full-size image with normal aspect ratio.



Added the ability to get images from a folder on the server. If the images contain description meta data then this will automatically be used for the title.



Added support for Bootstrap modal in jQuery Dialog settings. This implements a responsive modal popup.





Slideshow

When loading new images, the gallery will automatically use the meta data of the image (if available).

Added 'Line' shape option to pagination, inspired by Bootstrap-4 Carousel indicators.



Added new built-in navigation arrows, inspired by Bootstrap-4 Carousel arrows.



Added the ability to get images from a folder on the server.



Added ‘Maximum width’ property which limits the width of the slide show when used in full width (floating) mode. In previous versions this was fixed to 1920.



Added ‘Full screen background’ slideshow mode. The images will cover the entire viewport. The slideshow will be fixed at the background, so it will not scroll with the rest of the content. Full screen background uses CSS3 animations, no JavaScript.

[Pablo]

Image / Picture

The application now officially supports SVG images. The images will be rendered with a new built-in SVG in rendering engine.



Added ‘Object-fit’ property. Specifies how the image should be resized to fit its container. Requires a modern browser! For example, Internet Explorer does not support this property! https://caniuse.com/#feat=object-fit



• fill
The image is sized to fill the element's content box. If necessary, the object will be stretched or squished to fit.
• contain
The image is scaled to maintain its aspect ratio while fitting within the element's content box.
• cover
The image is sized to maintain its aspect ratio while filling the element's entire content box. The object will be clipped to fit.
• none
The image is not resized.
• scale-down
When the container is smaller than the image, it will be scaled down.

[Pablo]

Carousel

Added 'Line' shape option to pagination, inspired by Bootstrap-4 Carousel indicators.

Added new built-in navigation arrows, inspired by Bootstrap-4 Carousel arrows.



Added 'Flexible' mode. When this option is selected the child elements of the Carousel will be floating (instead of fixed). In this case the Carousel will be fully responsive and it can also be used inside layout grids. In 'Flexible mode' the Carousel can also be set to use the full height of the viewport.

[Pablo]

Lightboxes
Lightbox preview image now automatically keeps aspect ratio of the image.

Added support for 3 new (third party) responsive lightboxes: lightcase, tosrus, venobox. Will be available in 'Free extras'

Added the ability to add a border (style, color, width, radius) to the lightbox preview image in YouTube, Vimeo and HTML5 video.

Added the possibility to use fancybox v3.

[Pablo]

Property Inspector
Added 'Reset Property (RWD)'. This will reset the selected value, so will be the same across all breakpoints.

Added 'Reset All Properties (RWD)'. This will reset all responsive values of the object.



The Property Inspector now displays a 'Responsive' icon if the property has different values in breakpoints, so you can quickly see whether the object has responsive properties.



Added commands section with shortcuts to 'More properties', Events, Flexbox, Margin, Padding and Animations.

[Pablo]

Color picker
Added 'Alpha slider' to color picker, making easier to set the alpha value of background and border colors.

[Pablo]

Added 'Use Safari mobile background fix'. This option implements a workaround for issues with full width (parallax/fixed/cover) background images on Safari mobile (iOS) browsers. This sets background-attachment to ‘scroll’, so the full image will be displayed.

[Pablo]

Global Replace
Added the ability to replace internal links.

[Pablo]

User defined variables
Added $PROJECT_CSS$ system variable. This makes it possible to specify a different name for the global (external) style sheet, instead of using the project name.

[Pablo]

Publish

[Pablo]

Wizard
Added new 'Wizard' object. This implements a wizard like component, which can be used (for example) to create a multi-page form. The wizard can either be modal (popup) or used as a standard element.



Wizard is based on jQuery Dialog and has the same properties. The main difference with the Dialog object is that you can add multiple pages (steps). Adding objects works the same as with other containers, simply drag & drop the objects inside the drop area. Click the 'Next or 'Previous' button to go to another step. If the Wizard is used as a form, then the 'Finish' button will act as a submit button, otherwise it will simply close the Wizard.

[Pablo]

Dialog
Added border width property.

Added box-shadow properties.

Added animation duration and easing properties.



Added 'Bootstrap' mode. This will use Bootstrap's modal instead of jQuery UI.



Added the ability to use the dialog as a form.



Added floating mode. When this option is enabled objects inside the dialog float instead of having a fixed position, so you can create flexible layouts.



Added 'Buttons' properties. Buttons will be added at the bottom of the dialog and can be used to close the dialog or trigger other actions (events). This feature replaces the previous hardcoded button options.





Added 'Button alignment' and 'Button margin' properties. These specify the alignment and margins of the buttons in the footer of dialog.

Added the ability to customize the style of the buttons.



Added 'Breakpoint' property. When the viewport gets smaller than the specified breakpoint value, the dialog will switch to full width mode. For use with floating mode!

[Pablo]

Tabs
Added show and hide animations. This animates showing/hiding the panels.

Progress bar
Added the ability to show percentages in the progress bar.

[Pablo]

Themeable Button
(previous known as jQuery Button)

This may be useful to create flexible (radio) button rows.

Example: Flexible row of radio buttons

[Pablo]

Events
Added 'Form Submit' and 'Form Reset' actions to events. These actions can be used to submit or reset a form through events! For example, to submit a form via a button that is not part of the form.



Added 'ondocumentready' to page events. This event is will be triggered once the page Document Object Model (DOM) is ready for JavaScript code to execute. This can be useful for example, to apply a style to an object.

[Pablo]

[Pablo]

Form
- Added 'From' property to built-in form processor settings. This will set the 'from' address of email sent messages to the specified email address. If you leave the field empty then it will work like in previous versions: either the 'email' input will be used (if it exists) or the 'to' address.



- Added server sided input validation (Form Properties->Advanced->Miscellaneous). This adds extra security to the form by also validating the input on the server side (using PHP), so even if JavaScript is disabled or the form has been modified (by spammers/hackers) the submitted data will still be validated. This feature uses the same settings as the JavaScript (client side) validation.




Form Conditions
- Added 'Less than' and 'Greater than' conditions. It is also possible to create a range (greater than/less than combined).

- Added 'else' conditions. This can be used in combination with 'equal to', 'not equal to', 'greater than' and 'less than'.




Editbox / Textarea

[Pablo]

User Interface
- Added 'Project backup in zip' option to File menu. This will create a full backup of the project and images etc on a local disk.



- Many DPI improvements. For example, all built-in images/icons/toolbars now have high resolution versions for use on high DPI screens.



- Added ‘Set initial zoom level based on DPI scaling’ option (Tools->Options->User Interface). On some computers with a high resolution (4k) display, the initial workspace may be too small. By enabling this option, the DPI value of your system will be used as the initial zoom level. For example, 144 dpi sets the zoom level to 150%.

- Added 'ctrl+click+drag' support to quickly duplicate objects just like in Word/PowerPoint:
• select the object that you want to duplicate.
• hover over the object with your mouse and press the CTRL key.
• while still pressing the CTRL key, click and drag the object to the new location.

- Added 'Search' option to Site Manager to filter pages in the list and quickly find a page.



- Added 'Search' option to Page selection dialog (for internal links) to quickly find a page.



- Added 'Recently Used Fonts' to the font dropdown list in the Ribbon and Format toolbar.

[Pablo]

HTML/CSS/JavaScript
- All built-in JavaScript files are now loaded from the 'js' sub folder instead of embedded in the executable. This reduces the size of the application and memory usage. And it also makes it easier to replace the files (for advanced users).

- More objects now support ARIA role attributes. For example: tabs, accordion, search, blog, news feed ticker, navigation etc.



- The 'margin' property is now responsive for most objects.

- If a full width object has margin then the margin value will be subtracted from the total width using css's calc function so the object does not become wider than its container.



- Added 'Load built-in JavaScript files asynchronously' option in Tools->Options->HTML. Note: only useful when using external JavaScript file!



Example:
