• new: Custom code panel. We realized that all the custom CSS, HTML and JavaScript should be in one panel. We also added a custom HTML code section. All the input areas from this panel have autocomplete (ctrl+space) and error checking.
• new: WhatsApp share for article on mobile devices
• new: added http channel test status in the system status panel. You can now check if the theme is able to get the Tweets count, Like count etc from your host.
• new: filter posts by ID in blocks. You can add/exclude specific posts on all the blocks now.
• new: the theme now has its own logging system. We can now debug hosting issues easier.
• new: a new self diagnosting and self configurating module that allows our theme to pull data from other sites more reliably.
• fix: smart list 7 and 8 – sometimes the content was doubled

• misc: all the widgets from the theme are now optimized to work better. The widget_builder class is now deprecated and all the functionality was moved to td_block_widget
• misc: the video playlist now downloads the video’s metadata on render, not on save post. This allows us to use the playlist on the on click demos.
• misc: the following modules of the theme are loaded on demand now: td_log, td_remote_http, td_remote_video, td_data_source, td_video_support, td_more_article_box, td_page_views, td_review, td_ajax. This means that the theme loads them only when needed. We measured a 10% faster load time after this tweak.
