Version 7.0 is out!

Hey everyone! We’re glad to announce the release of version 7.0! This update brings some fantastic new features and enhancements, including blog posts, unlinking areas, and draggable panels. Check out the highlights below:

New

  • You can now create blogs and other content-focused websites with the new Blog components. Just drop a Blog Loop component and select a folder with pages in your design. This will generate a list of posts that is updated on every page change. Exporting your design embeds the list as static HTML, no CMS or WordPress required!
  • Panels in the app can now be moved between sidebars and organized freely. Reset the window to the initial state from View > Reset Panels at any time.
  • Two new templates were added - Timeless and Project Folio. Both have full light and dark mode support, and use the new blog components as a way to manage their content.

Improved

  • Linked components were significantly improved and optimized. Children of Linked components can now be “Unlinked” allowing you to freely edit parts of a linked component while the rest remains in sync.
  • In the CSS editor you can now modify display: flex; and display: grid; properties with easy visual tools, letting you quickly experiment.
  • CSS auto suggest now looks up values as well as property names when creating a new rule.
  • A Lang option was added to Page Properties.
  • The Image Optimization dialog now lets you save optimized images as copies instead of overwriting them.
  • Button Group now has a gap option.
  • Additional Bootstrap font and line height options were added to textual component.
  • Switching between pages and designs is much faster, eliminating delays and content shifts.

Fixed

  • The color picker now correctly displays CSS variables in the Design tab when changing color and background while editing text.
  • CSS classes entered in the Attributes panel are now correctly converted into buttons if they match a Bootstrap utility class.
  • Various small fixes and optimizations.

Wonderful update!
I’m glad to see Blog functionality added along with more features around CSS Grid and Flexbox.

Finally, I can stop trying to understand 11ty and JavaScript routing!
(I’ll still be playing around with them though :sweat_smile:)

Edit: Also really excited to try out the portfolio templates!
Hoping this helps me land that job I want :grin:

Blog = Awesome implementation. No flat file system either. Nice job guys.

CSS Grid is great. Will we eventually see template area as an evolution of this?

I adore every update. You guys work so hard and BSS is a flagship website building tool today. I wish even more people could know about it!
