Update: a new framework and updater, plus Course Progress and Course List fixes, in Lifter Elements 1.6.0

| henry

Lifter Elements 1.6.0 moves the plugin onto a new framework and a new updater, and fixes two things you can see: the Course Progress circle and the Course List column widths. The framework change is under the hood; your pages and settings carry over.

The update is waiting under Dashboard > Updates if your license is active.

What’s fixed

The Course Progress widget’s circle layout was drawing its conic gradient at the wrong resolution, so the ring could look blurred or stepped. It now renders at the right resolution, and two pieces of unused spacing in the circle layout, a padding and a bottom margin, are gone, so the circle sits where you put it.

The Course List widget’s column widths now account for the gap between cards. Before this, a three-column list with a gap could end up with the last card wrapping onto its own row at some widths.

Under the hood

The plugin now runs on a new framework with updated internal dependencies, and checks for updates through a new updater. There is nothing to do on your side; the point of the change is to make the releases that follow easier to build and ship.
