#What's New

#Deferred Tab Badge Loading

Tabs now support deferred badge rendering, allowing badge counts to load independently from the tab content. This avoids unnecessary database queries on page load when badge values are expensive to compute.

#Column Manager Modal and Slideover Support

The column manager now supports displaying in a modal or slideover, giving you layout options beyond the default dropdown for managing table column visibility.

#RichEditor Plugin File Attachment Providers

RichEditor plugins can now supply their own file attachment providers, allowing plugin authors to integrate custom upload and storage behavior directly into the editor without requiring configuration outside the plugin.

#RichEditor Plugin Toolbar Button Control

RichEditor plugins can now control the visibility and state of toolbar buttons, giving plugin authors finer-grained control over the editing toolbar.

#Sort Loading Indicator on Table Columns

Sort icons on table columns now display a loading spinner while the sort operation is in progress, providing visual feedback when sorting takes a moment to complete.
