SiteBuilder release notes

We released SiteBuilder version 2.549 on Friday 21^st July 2023. Changes in this version include:

• Block layouts: Settings to remove gutters and set edges flush with the page now correctly apply only to the blocks immediately within the block layout instead of all nested blocks.
• Item filter pages have received several improvements:
  • Tags now appear in alphabetical order on the Edit page properties screen.
  • Manage sections: We've added a link to this from the Editing tags page.
  • On the Manage entries page, we've changed the Back to page link to a button to improve visibility.
  • Buttons for reordering Tag sections are now correctly greyed out when they aren't applicable - for example, the "Move up" button for the entry at the top of the list.
  • [email], [slideshow] and [audio] magic tags are now supported in data entries.
• Event feed and News feed components can be set to display only headlines while in the Tile and Tile - scrollable views.
• The Audio/video component can now be set to auto-play and loop videos. Note that these options only apply for visitors who have not selected reduced motion in their system settings.

Note: Unexpected issues with SiteBuilder version 2.548 caused us to roll it back. We've included the changes originally released in that version in this new version.
