– Added new focus, checked, and active pseudo-class editing modes.
– Deprecated legacy focus-related form settings and migrated them to the new pseudo-class state.
– Added Contact Form 7 Styler module.
– Enabled preset support for subgroups, which, in tandem with composable settings, allows you to use presets to customize any module sub-element.
– Extended nested preset system to support group presets within group presets.
– Fixed the inability to reset attributes when in preset editing mode and right-clicking on a nested group.
– Improved module rendering time by optimizing sticky and locked module checks.
– Fixed custom field input text alignment not overriding the parent field alignment set in the email opt-in module.
– Added a blue dot at the option group and field level to signify when attributes are modified.
– Fixed reset attributes not working for certain nested groups, such as the Icon group.
– Fixed gradient color stops not changing when assigning new color variables if the background group was a nested subgroup.
– Improved visual builder loading speeds by deferring several assets, lazy-loading, and hydrating script data not needed at boot time.
– Added divi.editPost.store.content.update hook that fires when modules are edited, added, removed, or content is imported in the Visual Builder, enabling third-party plugins to react to content changes before save.
– Added developer tutorial documentation for adding custom buttons to the Divi 5 save dropdown menu.
– Added documentation explaining how to access Divi 5 app color scheme values and how this differs from accent and global color APIs.
– Fixed duplicate review_form_wrapper id in the Woo Product Reviews module so custom CSS and styling targeting that element apply once as intended.
– Fixed Icon Font Size and other number global variables not updating on the Visual Builder canvas until modules were hovered.
– Fixed an issue where saving the builder with Preset Preview open could persist preview-only modules and show ghost content on the frontend.
– Fixed the Woo Cart Totals module Body Text Alignment setting not applying to Tax and Discount rows.
– Fixed field background color and text color hover preview not updating in the Visual Builder for Contact Form and Contact Field modules.
– Fixed the Background Gradient settings showing a Toggle Gradient control that did not match the gradient preview by hiding that control while keeping gradient enable state driven by the gradient field for compatibility.
– Fixed a fatal error when Critical CSS measured specialty sections that included row-inner layouts.
– Fixed an issue where switching between global colors in the new color picker would show the previous color’s opacity instead of the newly selected one.
– Fixed missing Theme Customizer styles on Loop Builder paginated pages (loop-* > 1).
– Fixed Form Notice Text Color not being applied to linked error messages in the Woo Checkout Billing module on the frontend.
– Fixed Pagination’s Target Loop incorrectly switching to Main Query after copying a section that included a loop and Pagination to another page (or duplicating the subtree).
– Fixed Blurb Module text overflow issue when using left or right icon placement with long unbreakable strings like email addresses, while ensuring normal text remains readable without mid-word breaks.
– Fixed Blurb Module text overflow issue when using left or right icon placement with long unbreakable strings like email addresses.
– Fixed Contact Form Module Field ID input to properly sanitize special characters that were breaking form submissions.
