The 2.4 Alpha is now available. We have some exciting things in this release that we hope you will enjoy. Remember, this is Alpha. Please do not use this on a Production environment as there **are bugs** and features could be changed or even removed based on testing and feedback. Note: We are in the process of switching documentation systems so I’m afraid there are no docs yet. We are hopeful they will be ready for Alpha 2. **2.4 Alpha 1 - March 26, 2020** **Enhancements** - NEW: List Module - NEW: Search Module - NEW: Login Module - NEW: Button Group Module - NEW: Integration with Assistant - Video Module: Add new options to show video in a Lightbox, hide player settings, and sticky positioning - Row Backgrounds: Now you can use embed codes. Use html to embed videos from other sources or show sliders from other plugins using shortcodes - Subscribe Module: Added GroundHogg integration. GroundHogg WP Plugin required to use. - When using layout shortcodes, move the css needed to the head instead of the body to avoid validation errors. - Update editor used for code editing **Bug Fixes** - Fix form fields not showing correct responsive editing device - Fix row background custom position fields not toggling properly - Fix callout module links not properly showing as nofollow when selected - Fix callout link text alignment ---

Thanks Jamie, Nice update. New responsive previews and accessibility are great. Will the BB lite version updates only be available on the WordPress repository when 2.4 goes live? ---

I find the new responsive view option pretty limited and would dream of an interactive view adjustable by dragging or by typing a width value in a field… like Chrome Dev tools responsive view. I know, sorry, never happy users! 😅 ---
