Important Developer Changes - Read Now!
A lot of things have changed in the way we load and save plugins, please test your plugins thoroughly and be on the look out for data-loss and corruption.
RapidWeaver 7.1 is pretty spesh, as we’re now lazy loading plugins, this makes opening RW projects super, super quick. In our tests ALL sites now open in under a few seconds, no matter the size they are. It’s pretty incredible and we think users are really going to get a kick out of it.
We’ve also added a new area in the page source list for plugin settings, details here: http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/api-for-hiding-and-showing-the-page-inspector-for-your-plugin/6916/18?u=simon and here:
What’s new in 7.1?
- Fix the typo in +clearSharedPluinDataForDocument:
- Removed RWPathUtilities from RMKit (FYI: just incase you were using it)
- Improved the global plugin data storage
- Added back in support for re-publishing all files for a single page
- SiteLok plugin no longers breaks Preview mode
- Colour arithmetic in themes now works again
- Fixed an issue where the Filename extension was ignored when exporting (again)
- Fixed an issue where an updated resource would not get re-published
- Resizing Gifs now works (animation is not supported in resized gifs, yet)
- Cleaned up plugin loading code, it’s good to be clean!
WARNING: Do not use this build on production sites, always work with back-up projects:
I agree to only use this on projects that are backed up, gimme the build now… OLD BUILD REMOVED
UPDATE: New build 7.1 (18052b ) is now available (18th July 2016) https://dl.devmate.com/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver/18052b/1468849490/RapidWeaver-18052b.zip
Basic stacks based sites should work fine, however you may see some data loss or corruption if your project uses partials. @isaiah is currently working on a new build of Stacks that will fix this and play nicely with RW7.1
On the public release we’ll block loading of previous versions of Stacks that are not compatible so as to protect all our users.
Hopefully @isaiah can post a new beta of Stacks here that is compatible with 7.1 for us all to use and test!
If you have any questions or concerns please post here and we’ll help you out as always.
Happy Weaving!
Cheers,
Dan
