Theme variables
New theme variables are available:
gbc-ChromeBarWidget-flow-gbc-items |
Force Chromebar's GBC items to be flown in the right sidebar |
New library
The time manipulation and formating library: Moment.js has been replaced by Day.js, which is smaller and faster.
Sanitize style attribute
The style attribute sanitize has been added for the Label, Message, and TextEdit widgets. If set to "yes" (the default), when HTML is passed to a widget, the HTML is cleaned to ensure nothing malicious is executed.
This can cause issues, for example, when a hyperlink contains protocols such as mailto: inside a html label. To solve this kind of problem, set sanitize to "no":
<Style name="Label.mail">
<StyleAttribute name="sanitize" value="no"/>
</Style>
