Changelog
Welcome to the changelog for the latest updates on our plugin! In this section, you'll find detailed information about the newest features, enhancements, and bug fixes that have been implemented.
Cache support for mobile browsers.
Some browsers on mobile devices save the page cache and when you click on the back button it does not reload the JS, this meant that the page transition animation never disappeared.
Page transitions now works with the back button in mobile browsers and safari
Detected bug that affected some users causing Bricks classes to be removed when uninstalling Fancy Animations.
Bug fixes
Fixed some bugs that affected the GoogleSpeed Insights score.
Page transitions
The most important new feature of this update is the page transitions. Other plugins use GSAP, barbara.js or Swup, these libraries will easily add 100kb of JS to your website.
Fancy Animations page transitions use their own native script with Vanilla JS that weighs less than 2kb, and a CSS that weighs less than 1kb. This ensures that it does not affect the loading times of your website unlike other plugins.
You will now find a new sub menu with options for page transitions.
New animations that are compatible with scroll and sliders. You can find them under the name fb-anim–kenburns-*** and fb-anim–kenburns-reverse-***.
This animation has been fixed
Nestable slider support
Animations are now slider compatible, the big new feature is that you can use the same scroll animations, so Fancy Animations doesn’t have to add extra CSS.
Slider support has finally arrived, now you can add animations inside sliders and they will be activated and deactivated depending on the visibility of the slide:
Fixed bug where editor elements were hidden when clicking when the FA button was active.
New features
Some user requests in the roadmap have been implemented.
You now have an option to add the minimum screen size to disable animations.
The color fields now also support variables so you can use the colors of your favorite framework.
Previously the CSS optimized output was by default, the CSS optimized output depends on the WordPress cron and sometimes it took several seconds to generate the file. Now the optimized CSS output is disabled by default and when you finish adding the animations to your website you can enable it.
Sub-menu names changed to be clearer
