This update is a major overhaul that will take LayerSlider to the next level of performance and usability. It also prepares for a new wave of professional templates to be released soon. Here’s the list of changes this update offers:
STYLE & TRANSITIONS
Added Rounded Corners option to Project Settings → Appearance.
Added Mask Transitions option to Layers → Style.
Added Reset option to Parallax Transition to choose whether the layer’s original state should be restored on slide change or when the mouse leaves the slider.
Added Start At First option to Opening Transition to set the initial timing used in the first cycle.
Added Stacking Order option to Opening and Ending Transitions.
Added “Mask Text Fragments” to the Overflow option in Text Transitions.
Significantly improved Mask transition option in Opening/Loop/Ending Transitions with additional examples.
The random value syntax now accepts units such as “%” and custom LayerSlider units like “lw”, “lh”, “sw”, and “sh”.
If Scale X and Y use the same random formula, they will act as a linked field, and both will use the same random number to avoid distortions.
Box and Text shadows are now responsive and properly scaled.
Animate First Slide now works with the Start Only In Viewport option in Project Settings.
Fixed rendering issues affecting certain 2D slide transitions.
Fixed some issues with responsive border/padding when using “em” units.
Fixed how the Min. Responsive Ratio option behaves in some cases.
Fixed layout issues of pinned layers in Full-width sliders.
VIDEO & AUDIO
You can now import/export self-hosted video and audio content.
Refreshed user interface throughout the editor related to media layers.
Added “Immediately” to the Autoplay option to allow playing media layers even before they complete their Opening Transition.
The Project Preview now correctly reflects when “auto” is selected for the Play Muted option.
Fixed an issue where the Unmute button incorrectly appeared on some slides.
INTERFACE & EDITOR FEATURES
The Slides List in the Project Editor can now be pinned as a minimized toolbar for quick access.
The editor now retains and re-calculates percentage values used for positioning when you move, drag, or resize layers.
You can now add custom keywords to your projects used for searching and organization purposes.
When using the lasso, selectee layers will be highlighted for easier selection.
UI refresh and enhancements for the Templates Browser.
Capturing slides to set as thumbnails provides more accurate results.
Fixed selecting, resizing, and working with layers using position adjustments.
Fixed some layout issues with Responsive sliders in Project Preview.
Several small but very meaningful user interface improvements to navigate the Project Editor more naturally and conveniently, as well as to make it more accessible for people with disabilities.
Fixed font rendering issues in dropdown lists affecting Safari.
OPTIMIZATION & PERFORMANCE
Generating significantly cleaner and more optimized markup to improve load times and reduce network traffic.
Increased rendering performance and eliminated graphical issues in certain cases.
INTEGRATIONS & COMPATIBILITY
LayerSlider now comes with its own blank WordPress page template. It’s a clean canvas free of your theme’s interface elements, making it ideal for pages featuring only LayerSlider projects, such as Full-size sliders.
LayerSlider’s Gutenberg block has been updated with a Project Info panel and some UI retouches, and it’s now also accessible for page editors even if they don’t have permission to edit LayerSlider projects.
Increased compatibility with older versions of PHP, most notably, a PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM error in PHP 5.4.
Improved compatibility with upcoming PHP versions.
Countless other optimizations, improvements, and bug fixes under the hood.
LayerSlider’s Assets Library just got even better. In addition to more than 9000 objects and millions of royalty-free stock photos, it now also offers stock videos. Make your content stand out and impress your visitors with just a few clicks for free.
Other changes:
Improved code formatting in Event Callbacks.
Fixed slideTimelineDidUpdate's "timeline" parameter in Event Callbacks.
Introducing: Position Adjustments. Fine-tune layer positions in a more refined way, especially if you want to align layers relative to the bottom and right edges.
Significant improvements and fixes for keyboard shortcuts.
Fixed an issue that resulted in media playback in the background while quickly changing slides.
Fixed a Chrome rendering issue where videos appeared blank in rare cases.
Fixed some layer style properties when using a min/max responsive ratio.
Fixed the "Missing Ending Transitions" warning that sometimes appeared incorrectly.
