New: Two optional Testimonial fields, Company Name and Aggregate Rating, used by the “Company logo” and “Stat highlight” designs and ignored by every other design.

Thirty animated stat-block looks (six free: icon card, centered, icon top, badge, divider, underline) chosen visually from the “Browse designs” gallery, with icons, prefixes, suffixes, and structural styles like rings, bars, and sparklines.

New: Visual design picker for the Alert Box. The Pre-made Design field opens a “Browse designs” gallery showing every design as a real rendered preview, so you pick by sight; your choice is staged and applied only when you press Apply.
New: Material Symbols icons. Choose Material icons in any widget icon field. The font is bundled locally for privacy and speed, with no calls to Google.
New: Alert Box custom icon. Set your own icon to override the alert type icon.

1.10.1
Improved: Theme-compatibility hardening across the Call to Action, Before / After, Post Carousel, Testimonial Slider, and Flip Card widgets. Buttons, links, headings, and slider controls (arrows, dots, and the play and pause button) now keep their intended styling on themes that restyle bare links, buttons, headings, or blockquotes. No design changes, just sturdier styling.
New: A setup notice helps new users install the SiteOrigin plugins Zen Addons needs (Widgets Bundle and Page Builder) with one-click install or activate links. It appears only while one is missing and never shows once both are active, so existing setups are unaffected.

New: Icon List widget to display a vertical or horizontal list of items, each with its own icon and text.

Improved: The Alert Box close button now keeps its clean look on themes that style buttons with a dark background.
Improved: Pricing Table buttons keep their readable button text on themes that restyle links.

Improved: Sliders and carousels respect reduced-motion preferences and provide clearer, labelled controls.
Improved: Images, icons, and links now have more reliable text alternatives and accessible names.
Improved: Alert Box can show an optional type icon (info, success, warning, error) so the type is not signalled by colour alone.

1.8.0
New: Post Grid widget to display a responsive grid of posts with featured images, meta, excerpts, and read-more links.
New: Post Carousel widget to display posts in a swipeable carousel with autoplay, arrows, and dots.

1.1.0
Tweak: Bundle the Lity lightbox library locally instead of loading it from a CDN.
Tweak: Cache the DopeThemes dashboard news request to avoid an external call on every admin page load.
