What's new in 5.0.0

CL 5.0.0 is a major release focused on cards, tiles, and enhancements in the Block Editor.

Enhancements to Cards

  • Cards have an all-new DOM construction that allows for flexibility and makes it easier to add new features in the future.1
  • Cards have a new full-width default layout
    • Card display is optimized based on context
    • When space allows, cards not in tiles or columns now display similar to Panels, with image and body content appearing side-by-side
    • On mobile, card images and body content stack traditionally
  • Cards now support videos
    • A video can now be used in place of an image
    • Theatre Mode: Cards can also feature a user-controllable video that is revealed when the card is clicked
  • Equal-height cards render more consistently and now work with WordPress column blocks in addition to Tiles
  • Story cards can now be made equal-height in Tiles and columns
  • Cards appear more accurately styled in the Block Editor

Enhancements to Tiles

  • Introducing Magic Tiles
    • With Magic Tiles, tiles flow from full-width, to asymmetric halves, to thirds automatically.
    • Magic Tiles are useful for generating hierarchy that dynamically adjusts when content is updated.
    • Using Magic Tiles replaces a specified column count (e.g. thirds)
  • Asymmetric tile layouts have been adjusted to make grid layouts appear more organic, and to help content from becoming too narrow.

Block Editor

  • Block patterns featuring typical compound component usage have been added, which make it easy to build layouts quickly and consistently.
  • Descriptions and examples have been added to the block picker, providing inline documentation and a preview of the component before adding it to the page.

General Improvements

  • The Slideshow component now works with WordPress gallery blocks that are set to one column
  • Component icons have been refreshed across the interface for clarity and consistency
  • The image upload interface and media picker now only appear when appropriate

Bug Fixes and Development

  • Prevents loading of TinyMCE buttons in admin contexts where they don't work (specifically, the WordPress All Import screen)
  • Removes deprecated PHP functions (no longer supports PHP v5.3 and earlier)
  • Fixes an issue where 0 was considered empty in required shortcode attributes
  • Updates development tools, including major versions with breaking changes:
    • Migration to Autoprefixer v10 (plus required peer dependencies)
    • Migration to Webpack v5
  • Other bug fixes

1 Card constructions is a breaking change that will affect existing cards built with HTML. Existing cards built with the Visual (TinyMCE) Editor and Block Editor will not be affected.
