Blocks 3.1.0

A long time coming
Blocks 3.1.0 is a culmination of many refinements that we've made to Blocks 3. Export methods, javascripts, page blocks, library display, and a lot more too. At first these bug fixes were intended to be just a "point release," as in v3.0.7, but after the 7th beta version and the dozens of bugs and refinements were added it became clear that this was a substantial milestone. Many changes were made to the "unfixable" (or what we had assumed to be unfixable) limitations of Blocks 3.0.

What's new
The easiest way to find out about all the bugs that were fixed is to peruse the beta release posts, but even they don't have the complete list. It's probably too many changes to show in this one post, but here's a short list of the most significant changes.

• Support for Kwix and other new plugins.
• Sidebar content now imports correctly in Page Blocks.
• Page Block links are no longer mangled.
• Blocks now reads smart blocks decompressed with Leopard's over exuberant unzip.
• And writes smart blocks that are not susceptible to that problem.
• The library now shows a wait cursor while it's busy
• Master pages no longer drop content when the using Bring to Front and Send to Back.
• The resize to fit Javascript was rewritten from the ground up...
• ... and compressed for fast loading.

How much?
Like most updates from YourHead Software this update is free.

How do I install it?
The easiest way to install it is to:

1. Open RapidWeaver
2. Close any open documents.
3. Download the Blocks disk image here.
4. Double click on the Blocks plugin in the disk image window.
5. Quit and restart RapidWeaver

You'll need to republish pages before the new content (like the new javascripts) gets to your server, but otherwise there should be no changes required.

How do I get it?
