Sparkle Download the New for Android

The latest update of Sparkle has arrived, and it's packed with exciting new features and improvements that will take your website to the next level. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting out, this release is sure to impress.

First up, page performance has been boosted by adding a workaround for browsers loading images hidden on devices. This means faster load times and a smoother user experience for your visitors.

Next, we've added German, French, and Italian documentation links to help our international users get the most out of Sparkle.

We've also made it easier to copy original SVG source code when copying boxes or images containing SVG. This will save you time and hassle in your design workflow.

For ECWID users, we've added default categories for product browsers and the ability to go full-width on category browser pages. This gives you more flexibility and control over how your products are presented.

In addition, we've added warnings when changing footer or visibility settings that could make pages longer, helping you avoid common mistakes and ensure a better user experience.

Other notable improvements include:

* A progress indicator when publishing user accounts

* Placeholder color for form dropdown lists

* Email/phone/number validation for form text inputs

* Fixes for crashes related to text list indentation

* Site generation fixes for combinations of smart fields, popups, elements visible in multiple pages, and pages in folders

* Fixes for popup shifts related to system configuration for scrollbar visibility

* Layout issue fixes in the blog index with complex layouts

* 'Show to all users' availability on all pages, not just password-protected ones

* A workaround for Safari showing scrollbars in modal popups

* Dark mode color support in some complex cases

* Fixes for issues related to the use of password protection

* Stability improvements for website import processes

* Site search fuzzy string matching improvements

* Stability improvements for layout block editing

* Support for mixed script text (roman plus CJK or emoji text)

In terms of performance, we've made significant improvements by:

* Adding variable-width font support

* Implementing AVIF image compression

* Enabling browser-native lazy image loading

* Removing secondary JS files

* Updating for current attention to web vitals

* Reducing the number of images generated by about 1/3

We've also made improvements to text handling, accessibility, animations, and website load/save performance. Plus, new interaction options include media control, social sharing, text message sending, expand/collapse layout blocks, and running JS code (for developers).

Other notable additions include:

* Subject and body for the 'open email' on click action

* New text effects: background clip and knockout

* Text link hover/active/visited states
