4.1.0​

Release Date: 2024-03-12

  • ACF integration
    • Breaking change: Date field types now get their default formatting from the field setting for Return Format. Previously the defaults were from site setting (Date field), "Y-m-d H:i:s" (Date/Time), and "H:i:s" (Time). Now they use the selected format in each field's settings, or ACF's default return format: "d/m/Y" (Date), "d/m/Y g:i a" (Date/Time), and "g:i a" (Time).
    • Improve handling of "format" and "locale" attributes
  • Editor
    • Formatter
      • Add keyboard shortcuts to support formatting by entire document or selected lines
      • Start a fork of Prettier HTML formatter to customize based on template language definition

      • List: Use field name "value", like "sort_field=value"
      • Map keys: Use field name "key" or "value". Keep default order of keys as defined, unless "sort_field=key" is applied - previously was sorted alphabetically.
  • Gutenberg integration: Template block: Remember previously selected template when switching tabs
  • Sass module: Upgrade Sass compiler (scssphp) to 1.12.1, and CodeMirror Sass language support
  • Taxonomy term loop: Ensure "post" attribute accepts list variable
  • Template post types: Ensure templates always have a universal ID assigned, during post save and before exporting. This improves how duplicate templates are handled during import.

  • GitHub repository: New home of the Template System source code and project, with better developer experience and social collaboration. Welcome to start new issues, pull requests, and discussions.
