Hello everyone! We've just released Backdrop 1.14, and would love your feedback!
Backdrop CMS version 1.14 is here! This version of Backdrop includes lots of great new features including:
- #2632: Core fieldable file entity bundles.
- #3755: Adding flexible templates to Layouts.
- #2568: Add support for `trusted_host_patterns`.
- #3862: Exclude hidden paths from search for users without permission to view directly.
- #1285: Include an editor role in the standard profile (on new sites).
- #3994: Add welcome dashboard block (may require enabling the dashboard module).
I have to say that with Trusted Host Setting I had similar experience as @amilenkov. After a few attempts I just left it at initial unconfigured state. Adding UI access to set up this feature and clear instructions for none-coder's sounds like a good direction to me.
At the same time I am very happy about new Flexible Layouts. They do not look intrusive to me and I suppose they do not prevent from coding custom layouts for users with coding knowledge. Furthermore it seems to me that layouts that come with BD by default(Boxton, Mascone etc.) can be transformed into kind of predefined Flexible Layouts that can be changed/removed or built on by user. Also it would be great to add automatically generated icons that would provide a quick preview for the user created templates(like those in predefined layouts). This should make them more easy to find and read in the templates list.
