What’s New
Just before we hit those eggnogs with Christmas and parties, we worked hard to bring you more goodness to Wappler!
Now we have redesigned greatly the Database Query Builder to look awesome, as well totally rewritten the FTP connectivity on Windows! No more external dependencies on Windows - you just need to install Wappler and everything is included! Of course we also fixed lots of bugs you reported and included brand new components like App Connect Lazy Load, so you can make even more powerful and fast loading sites!
Last but not least, we have greatly optimized Wappler caching and cleanup. To be speedy Wappler keeps a good cache file that can grow pretty large. Now however on each close all the caches are cleaned up nicely. Note that the first close after the update might take longer than expected due to extra initial cleaning.
New Components
- App Connect Lazy Load - Fast, intelligent and responsive image lazy loader!
Support for responsive images using srcset attribute, so you can serve different images depending on visitors’ devices viewport sizes. The device will only load the image that fits its size, which is really efficient in saving bandwidth and optimizing load times. Also you can set a preloader image or a low quality image preview to be displayed while your image is being loaded.
