About this release

Version 0.9.9 brings the functionality of template parts! Template parts are global entities, which means they can be edited in one place and then instantly updated everywhere. This is one of the most wanted features as it enables creating headers footers, which typically are "global" things. However, there is more about template parts! They are perfect tool for component based web development approach. Basically, any section of the template can be a template part, so that it can be re-used in other templates and/or adjusted any time!

The new version of the builder also includes numerous updates to the existing functionality. We have revised the functionality of inclusion CSS/JS assets to make it more reliable. We effectively re-use existing registered styles by default (like those page inline ones added by Gutenberg) as well as give a possibility to enqueue new ones if needed.

Starting from version 0.9.9 we have introduced new special modules: "Shortcode" and "Gutenberg Block". They allow adding WordPress shortcodes and Gutenberg blocks directly into Builderius templates. Many plugins, like forms or sliders, have either a shortcode or special block so that they can be used to add such plugin's functionality on the page.
