Light Store | Sell your software v20.2.1

Fixed pnpm frozen lockfile for Docker builds.

New Features:

• Added bundles. Bundled items will show the bundle they're in underneath the product statistics. Bundles are created per-vendor and a customizable discount can be applied when buying through a bundle.

• Added setting to disable product stats.
• Fixed improper padding on the mobile carousel.
• Added missing locale keys for the mobile carousel.

Fixes & Changes:

• Adjusted the image optimization service to now accept in-between sizes without downscaling them. For example, previously, an image with the width of 1100 would get resized down to 800, because it did not meet the criterium 1200 width for the next breakpoint. Now, it will be left as is and only format optimization will be applied.
• Added option to disable automatic image optimization.
• Centered review cards on the testimonials section.
• Reduced padding around the footer.
• Changed login page form to image ratio from 7:3 to 6:4.
• Relocated page logo on auth pages to the form.
• Removed misformed link in the cookie notice settings.
• Fixed possibly underlaying cookie notice box.
• Fixed grouping for the "Page background" theme setting.
• Fixed several instances of color-unthemable content.
• Improved hero visuals on mobile devices.

This is a long-anticipated release including a partial rework of the UI.

New Features:

• Added light mode support.
• New theme manager available within the admin panel that allows theme customization with a real-time preview.
• Fully redone all auth pages with a new, clean design.
• Added realtime search to the new navbar search bar.
• Added a new interactive product bento box in the hero section of the welcome page.
• Replaced the aurora effect in the hero with a configurable background image.
• Added new stats to the profile page.
• New mega menu for the "Browse" nav dropdown which allows for viewing categories in a more organized manner.

Fixes & Changes:

• Moved currency & locale customization to the footer into a single, uniform modal.
• Moved the "Manage Account" forms in the profile page into the Overview tab, now using modals.
• Reduced the amount of available palette colors used. It will now be easier to get and maintain a consistent look across the site.
• Theme settings are now saved in a separate table as key-value pairs - before they would be saved in the "customization settings". Additionally, the theming API changed to now contain a new theme.json file that contains all the theme settings, including defaults. Adding it to your theme will make your theme configurable within the theme manager.

Changes:

• Added new addon API hooks: getProductActionHooks and getProductCardPriceHooks.

New Features:

• Added product image optimizer, which will generate optimized versions of product images to improve page load times.
• Added preview mode for unpublished products, allowing product owners to view their products in preview mode via a direct link.
• Added a settings control in "Customization" to add the old container to the make the navbar narrow.
• /robots.txt is a now dynamic server endpoint, like /sitemap.xml. Make sure to remove your old static robots.txt file from the public directory to allow the new dynamic version to work.
• Added option to add and remove custom localization keys, useful for defining translations for non-standard texts, like the footer.

Fixes & Changes:

• Fixed popover positioning issue where it would overflow outside of the screen.
• Fixed possible permission denied issue when enabling and disabling addons on production setups.
• Changed pencil icon for preview to redirect to creator panel instead of admin.
• Fixed locale saving permissions in Docker.

Note: Delete your old public/sitemap.xml from disk to make use of the new, dynamic site map.

New Features:

• Newly created products are marked as unpublished and aren't immediately visible on the storefront. This allows you to set up the product details, images, and other information before making it available to customers. You can publish the product from the creator dashboard when it's ready. If manual approval is enabled, the product will be sent for review and approval after it has been published. A new "Approval" tab had been added to the product edit page in the creator dashboard to display the current timeline of approval-related events.
• Added new "Added to Cart" modal. It also shows the additional product options if present to encourage higher conversion.
• New addon is available: Loyalty Points - reward your customers with points for their purchases, which they can redeem for free products. You can manage the loyalty points system from the admin dashboard, and customize the points earning and redemption rules.

Fixes & Changes:

• Made sitemap.xml a dynamic endpoint instead of generated on a CRON job.
• Now only showing "Downloads" instead of "Purchases" in the product tabs panel for free products.
