New Release Imminent!

10 Apr 2016, 14:50

Sorry people, but I couldn't get the new X3 version out tonight (Sunday). There's just too much to prepare! I know many of you are eagerly awaiting this massive release (for good reason), but please hold on another day or two ...

We may release on Monday, but I am setting new release date to Tuesday, for sake of margin.

One of the reasons it's taking time, is because I need to spend time writing about all the features prior to release. So here is my unprocessed and unsorted log ... Personally, I would just wait ...

- Fixed bug where lazy asset CSS files could get loaded twice
- Added option to show/hide image captions in the x3-popup, on a per-page basis, from page-gallery settings https://d.pr/i/1bDHZ
- Patched issue with mod_security module blocking save settings forum
- Fixed issue where '&' (and other html-charaters) fails in list menu category header. forum
- Fixed bug in carousel-video when displaying vimeo/youtube videos from ssl/https website.
- Removed "minify" from "custom javascript", as it breaks certain javascripts. Minify does not provide any performance benefits here anyway, as page output is already Gzip compressed.
- Added new comparison-slider plugin [demo] [forum]
- Added comparison-slider to content-templates.
- image-url in og:image tag only resized if image is wider than 1280px
- bypass right-click protection with ?debug
- Fixed dropdown issue if page has hidden pages.
- Portrait-aspect images in X3-popup are always requested at max 1024px width now (not 1280px), unless original image is requested. This is to prevent memory-limit errors on standard PHP shared servers. forum
- Preview image (used in og:image, and for some sharing services), is not resized to 1280px width now if image is already smaller than 1280px
- Fixed bug with preview_image not set on initial page for sharing-service pinterest.
- New "plugins" tab for page-settings. You can also set "defaults" from settings->plugins
- GLOB_BRACE removed ti fix issues on Apache running on Sun OS forum
- Fixed issue with php GLOB_BRACE specifically for Apache running on Sun Os
- Bigger share-links for mobile in toolbar-overlay (if toolbar enabled on mobile).
- Improved html5 localStorage detection, and fixed a bug that could break X3 if localStorage is disabled from browser settings.
- Fixed bug in mega-menu when using "double-quotes" in title or description.
- Html-tags are stripped from document meta tags <title> <meta name="description" etc.
- Fixed navigation between image-landing pages if numbered images
- Added 1-line truncate to title in carousel menu to keep things symmetric
- Added support for some html tags in titles and descriptions for pages and images.
- Links are special (hacked)
- Links can integrate with X3-popup and popup-window as explained here
- Dynamic support for {file_name_ext} and {file_name_ext} in href link.
- Special .button class and .button-buy class
- supported: <a><span><em><i><b><strong><small><s><br><mark><img><kbd><code><button>
- Html included for main items, captions, tooltips, popup
- Folder pages, gallery images, image-landing page.
- Remove truncation in captions (it creates more problems than it does good)
- Fixed issue in panel when adding "double-quotes" in image titles
- Fixed minor bug where image titles- and descriptions containing only numbers don't display in popup caption forum
- New setting "hide child pages from mobile menu" (slidemenu) - forum
- Updated optional Panel DB connection interface from MySQL to MySQLi to support new PHP7 - forum
- Added carousel content plugin incomplete(demopage, content-template)
- Max filesize for image-upload-resizing increased from 10MB to 30MB. * Keep in mind, if a user decides to upload-and-resize dozens of 20mb files in a single batch, it will require a lot of processing from browser, and could cause a crash if the computer has insufficient resources.
- Updated to latest jQuery 2.2.1
- Added user-select:none to 3D logo, to prevent text-selection on click.
- New image DATE, 1) from image EXIF (from when photo was taken), 2) falls back to server date if image-EXIF date not found
- NEW gallery sortby name, title or date.
- Added custom sort
- Removed dysfunctional filemanager_assets/.htaccess
- Added basic video support forum
- Automatic "smart" text-alignment when using the SPLIT setting in gallery- and folders module. No need to add text-align CSS classes.
- A few improvements to the STYLER.
- Fixed bug with slideshow toggle-play button in IE11/IE10 forum
- Added support for EXIF display in popup forum
- Fixed issue with Yandex Metric counter forum
- Menu-Absolute (when menu is layered over slideshow or video) now uses semi-transparent DARK background also on dark skins.
- Added unique page- and slug classes for each page, to be used for page-specific styling with CSS. Can be used to style elements for multiple pages.
- Moved Font-Awesome CDN resources to cdnjs.com. Seems more consistent than jsdelivr, and is faster to load all resources from a single DNS checkup.
- Diagnostics

- Improved apache modules detection.
- Added advanced Database-connection diagnostics for panel DB-version.
- Added warning for old PHP version 5.3, recommending upgrade to 5.5 or higher.
- Warning displays if open_basedir restriction is enabled.

- Image titles- and descriptions now display in popup

- New setting "Auto Image Orientation" in panel-uploader settings, which auto-rotates images based on EXIF orientation.
- General UI improvements
- Removed concatenation of panel javascript files loaded from jsdelivr CDN, since this no longer provides any benefit with the new http/2 protocol. In fact, it will perform- and cache better with individual requests.
- Added favicon to panel (from content/custom/favicon.favicon.png)
- Fixed bug with "delete selected items" forum
- Added "super" and "user" body classes to panel, depending on user type. Allows adding classes that target specific user-types.
