6.4.0

New

• Atom template: new Joomla 4, 5 and 6 layouts, so articles, blogs, login, registration, profile, Smart Search, tags, contacts, menus and other modules are styled by Atom instead of plain Joomla markup.

Improve

• Updating Quix now refreshes your already-published pages, so fixes apply without re-saving each page.
• Faster pages: the first images start loading straight away, icon pack icons and Google Fonts need fewer requests, and the animation script loads only on pages that animate.
• Joomla 5 and 6: Quix no longer needs the Behaviour - Backward Compatibility plugin.
• Atom template: your own Atom layout overrides are kept when you update.

Fix

• Joomla 6: creating a new page, saving a page, clearing the cache and opening Themes no longer end in an error page.
• Editor button: choosing a Quix template while editing an article on the front end works again on Joomla 4, 5 and 6.
• Atom template: menus with third-level items show correctly; items no longer appear in the wrong dropdown.
• Atom template: Joomla 6 sites using Atom no longer show an error page after installing or updating Quix.
• Atom template: sidebars now stack below the content on phones.
• Atom template: the logo, menu, page content, sidebars and footer now line up on the same edges, including on Quix pages.
• Saving articles or other content from command-line tools no longer fails when Quix is installed.
• Images: alt text with an apostrophe (We're, haven't) no longer breaks the image or pulls the next element into it.
• Carousels: Testimonial, Media, Clients and Joomla Articles carousels now start on slow-loading pages.
• Builder: opens again on sites running some JCE editor versions.
• Builder: no longer loads an outdated editor after an update on hosts that serve compressed files.
• Admin: the Options button in Articles, Menus, Users and other components no longer reads "Settings" when Quix is installed.
• Smart Search: pages indexed from the command line can now be found by their text, not just their title.

Security

• Joomla Article and Joomla Articles elements now respect article access levels, so visitors only see articles they are allowed to read.

6.3.6

Fix

• Media manager: no longer opens as a blank window on sites with a strict Content Security Policy (bundled JMedia 1.6.3).
• Media manager: images the server can't read show a file icon instead of a broken thumbnail, and the admin view sizes itself correctly on first load.
• Headers and footers: no more errors on feeds, OpenSearch and other non-HTML pages.
• Pages: still display when the server won't let Quix write its page cache.
• Pages: a media folder Quix can't write to no longer breaks the page while copying element icons.

Security

• Frontend: public pages no longer load the axios library, so security scanners stop reporting its CVEs. The builder now uses axios 1.20.

6.3.5

New

• Data Sharing: choose whether to get Quix updates by email and send Quix error reports to ThemeXpert, from the welcome screen, Post-installation Messages or Quix Options. Quix Free shares nothing unless you say yes.

Improve

• Debug Logs: new Download Log button saves the full log, with your site's Quix, Joomla and PHP versions, ready to send to support.
• Load Absolute URL: Quix now checks once whether your server serves its files directly and switches the setting off when it doesn't.

Fix

• Gantry 5 templates: pages built with Quix show again instead of an error page.
• Typography: Google Fonts are back in the font list.
• Joomla Module: a module that hits an error no longer leaves the whole page blank; only that module is left out.
• Builder: opens again on hosts whose firewall blocked it while loading elements.
• Builder: element styles load again on Apache servers.
• Builder: the "View error logs" link on the loading error message now opens the Logs page.
• Admin menu: the Templates dropdown no longer highlights every item at once.
• Post-installation Messages: removed an old promotion that showed up as a separate "700" list.

6.3.4

Improve

• Icons: downloaded once and kept on your site, so pages no longer depend on getquix.net and keep their icons after clearing the cache or updating.
• Joomla Module: modules not assigned to the current menu item now show, and the chosen Module Style is applied.

Fix

• Joomla Articles: ordering and category are kept on pages saved with older versions, the Carousel arrow, dot and autoplay settings now appear, and images with an apostrophe in their alt text no longer break.
• Button: icons chosen from the icon library now show.
• Forms: pages with a form now display on Joomla 4.
• Builder: fixed outdated labels, element icons not loading on sites opened over both http and https, and errors when JCE is the default editor.
• Admin Menu: Templates, Header and Footer are now translated in German, French and Portuguese.
• Dashboard: the "Licence Missing" notice now clears once the licence is activated.
• Installation: no more warnings about missing language files.
• Frontend: PHP warnings no longer show on pages when the server displays errors.

Security

• Pages: editors can no longer run code on the server, and guests can no longer change Quix settings or read access-restricted pages.
• Joomla Content: text from articles, including titles and categories, can no longer run scripts on Quix pages.
• Media: pasted images, image resizing and the bundled JMedia media manager are hardened.

6.3.2

Fix

• The builder no longer reloads over and over without opening.
• The builder no longer bounces back and forth with the login page instead of opening.
• Front-end editors can now open the builder for pages they are allowed to edit.
• A page whose Quix files are missing now reports what is missing in Debug / Error Logs instead of coming back blank.

6.3.1

Fix

• Pages could fail to save with an error when Smart Search was enabled.
• Pages saved in the builder now appear in Smart Search without waiting for a reindex.
• Icons could fail to load after clearing the Quix cache on busy sites.
• Search results could fail to load on sites using the Atom template.

6.3.0

New

• Editor element: rich text that keeps exactly the formatting you give it, with no Quix fonts or colours added.
• Open any text editor in a large popup to work comfortably with long content.
• Joomla Articles: new Carousel layout with arrows, dots and pause on hover.

Improve

• The text editor in the element settings now shows the element's font, so formatting looks the way it will on the page.
• The element settings panel can be widened by dragging its edge and remembers the width you choose.

Fix

• Bold text now shows as bold on the page, not only in the text editor.
• Formatting, undo and changes made in the editor's Code tab now show in the builder straight away.
