X3 Release [version 0.15]
To compliment the official release a few weeks ago, we have launched a new version 0.15.
Improved Performance
We have improved the code so the initial output of a page should process faster from the server. Especially for websites with heavy content/cache structure, this should have a substantial positive effect on performance.
Improved Diagnostics
We have improved the diagnostics, which helps diagnose (and possibly resolve) server-related issues. The /check/ folder is now obsolete, and has been removed ... Existing X3 users are recommended to DELETE this folder. You will also find a new PHPinfo section in panel->tools, which displays extensive PHP information for your server.
Features
- Added "popup" and "x3-popup" options for the page -> menu LINK feature. forum
- Added option to save custom templates from page -> gallery/folders settings. forum
- X3-popup does not scale images up now. forum
- Resized image-request is now bypassed if the original image is smaller than the requested width.
- Image resize requests are now rounded DOWN on retina devices to prevent loading of unnecessarily large images files. It's entirely fine to use 1.5-2x image size on retina.
- Improved design of the success/fail icon after send mail, replacing the natural position of the form.
- Panel settings "password", "DB-password" and "SMTP-password" are hidden-text inputs.
- Added "Embed MP4 Video" to content templates (for self-hosted video).
Fixed various bugs and warnings
- Fixed image-landing pages bug, when images are in root/index folder forum
- Fixed bug with landing-pages for images with uppercase extension *.JPG, forum
- Fixed scrollnav bug when using gallery slideshow AND folders layout with scrollnav on same page. forum
- Carousel autoplay now STOPS on image click (open popup). PS! does not restart on exit popup. forum
- Fixed bug with minify of custom javascripts (panel->settings->custom->custom javascript)
- Added utf8_validate() function to check for non-valid utf-8 IPTC/Exif strings in images (which could break pages), and convert if necessary.
- Fixed SMTP issue on DB install
- Fixed various "warnings" that may display when error logging is enabled.
