Elements 0.7.8 (23502)

Elements Builds
1

Hello again,

:warning: Warning! There are significant under-the-hood changes in today’s build. Please read the following before updating:

We’ve made fundamental improvements to the Preview and Export pipeline in Elements. In our testing, both Preview and Export are now up to 440% faster, thanks to optimizations and enhanced support for multi-core processing.

For example, our large theme test project used to take 3.8 seconds to preview. It now takes just 0.7 seconds :star_struck:

That’s a 5X speed boost across the board for Preview and Export :tada:

We don’t anticipate any issues, but if you run into trouble, you can download the previous build here (v0.7.7).

What’s New in Elements 0.7.8?

  • 5x speed improvements for preview and export!
  • Added CMS category to API for components
  • Gallery lightbox images are now resized better when viewport width is increased
  • Fixed issue with main page scrolling when a long menu is open on mobile
  • Added SVG support to Top Pages component
  • Added folder support to Top Pages component
  • Fixed alignment issues in Top Pages component

Installed the upgrade. :slightly_smiling_face:

Just tested the publish which seems faster but then I thought it was fast already (M4 Pro mac Mini). :wink:

So it looks like the assets still aren’t being published if they are changed after the initial publish following a restart? I assume the export pipeline was just speed enhancing existing code rather than fixing publishing issues?

On a separate note, when is the packaging for third party DevPacks going to happen. Ideally, I would want that in place prior to releasing my Alloy replacement blog.

Glad to hear you are moving forward with this. :star_struck:

Something is wrong after updating to the latest version.

5

Can you also share your project file with us again so we can take a look?

In the meantime, you can rollback to 0.7.7.

@dan As you can see in the video, Elements doesn’t update when switching to a new page."

I cannot reproduce the issue here. Can you share your project?

I have sent you an email.

@dan There is a problem with this build on my end. I cannot switch pages, it stays stuck on the home page. I tried both the popup at the bottom of the editor in the breadcrumb and the pages panel. Regardless of which page I select the editor does not update to display that pages.

I’ll try quitting and restarting to see if that fixes the problem.

UPDATE: a restart seems to have fixed the problem, will keep testing. This version did crash when I tried to publish a site that I had published a few minutes earlier.

Thanks, we’re looking into it now!

I’ve been able to reproduce the issue here and will get it fixed up asap.

Cheers
