All the details from our regular updates to Source and the Source Addon pack
A list of all the updates that have been pushed out for Source and Source Addons. You can filter to view one or other of these products using the buttons below.
Appreciate the updates that we push out? If so please consider a donation to help support continued development.
Note: After updating you may need to adjust any CTA element in the Nav stack. See full release notes for details.
[Nav] - Option to have CTA elements positioned below the nav links in the mobile drop down menu
[Nav] - Option to group the desktop CTA elements with the nav links allowing the links and CTA elements to be displayed together at the right hand side of the nav bar
[Nav] - New option to set a minimum width for the branding element on desktop sizes. Useful if using a CTA element and you want to adjust the positioning of the navigation links to be more central.
[Nav] - Option to add custom links to the Nav bar. Useful for adding in-page links to designated anchor IDs on your page. (Note: This feature requires Source Addon pack)
Added CTA stack missing after updating?: Depending on if you used the CTA dropzone options in previous versions then you may find that the content of these has shifted / disappeared. To remedy, toggle the checkbox for 'Enable custom links' in the Nav stack and drop the content from there back to where it should be. Apologies for any inconvenience.
[Button] - New option to remove spacing for grouped buttons under a specified breakpoint. Can be useful to set this for the point at which the buttons stack vertically on small screens as this will fix any alignment issues
Bug fixes
[Button] - Fixed alternative alignment for buttons at small and medium breakpoints.
[Container] - Option to add data attributes to the html wrapper
[Button] - Adapted stacked (and wrapped) buttons to use the designated spacing setting for vertical spacing as well as horizontal (as opposed to relying on the default bottom margin of the buttons). The bottom margin value now applies to only the last button in a group.
[Grid] Support for Feeds stack (from Weaver’s Space). Can add a Feeds stack directly into the Grid stack. To then use: add a Grid Item stack into the Feeds stack and build out the desired template structure.
Improvements
[Various] All components of a stack are now hidden when using the Show/Hide at breakpoint controls (previously some Stacks’ settings were retained even when content was hidden)
[Nav] Option to add an aria-label to the branding link
Palette stack lets you take full control over the colours used for your web page and gives you the option of allowing your web page visitors to choose their preferred theme.
[Image stack] Add size limit options per breakpoint (Note: the limits field may not show in existing instances of the Image stack but previously selected values will still be respected. Use the new toggle switch to bring back into view).
[Base stack] Increase max values for font sizing
[Smooth scroll] Option to offset the scroll
[Container] Add newer stacks as option in Container content pickers
[All] Improved tag names for smart search in Stacks 5 (use source - to group all Source stacks together)
[Source Splider style] Fix for text colour switching not always working properly (note: you may need to reset this value if you had previously selected the option to switch the text colour to a Source colour value).
[Markdown] - Support for third-party stacks that let you link to a markdown file (either in RW resources or on your server). Advantage of this approach is that the content can be managed outside of RapidWeaver and that the Source Markdown stack can be used to style this content. Currently supported stacks are my (new) ‘Markdown Link’ stack and ‘Cat’ from Bryn Owen Design.
[Base] - Improvement for the default styling of button and form elements (if the ‘Style forms’ option has been selected).
[Base] - Addition of s-blur-bg and s-frost classes to add a blur or frost effect to a background.
[Base] - Changed default Heading font to a sans-serif font (Helvetica Neue)
[Base] - Option to use Apple's system font for Base and/or Heading text (with similar fallback for other OS systems)
[Container] Added styling for when stack is hidden via Stacks Visibility control (and new option to add a background tint colour).
[Image] - Breaking change: Adapted the ‘Add src prefix' functionality to cater for all custom needs (i.e. ones that didn’t end in src) . If you use this function currently then you will need to append src onto the value in the custom prefix box as it is no longer added by default. Apologies for any inconvenience.
[Splider child stack] - A new child stack is available if you use our slider stack Splider. This lets you easily apply the Source colour scheme to the different slide elements. Find out more.
[Base] - Increased max-value of button border radius setting
[Button] - Option to set responsive alignment for button groups
[Source] v2 version of base stack released which mainly reworks how fonts are handled in Source. A large selection of web-safe fonts are now available.

[Source] v1 stack has been hidden and marked as a legacy version (it will continue to work in existing projects).
