What’s New in Version 1.6?

This release introduces numerous core updates and security improvements, some of which are highlighted below:

• ImageRewrite with AVIF Support: You can now use the AVIF format for images, optimizing quality and load speed.
• Enhanced Email Subject Control: Customize the email subjects sent during order status changes for better customer communication.
• Additional Category Description Field: We’ve added an extra text field in category descriptions for improved flexibility.
• New Modules: Two new modules are part of this release. One is free for everyone, allowing you to filter specific email domains in the contact form to reduce spam. The other, part of our Premium module pack, limits email-sending attempts from individual IPs, helping to prevent spam attacks. For just $15 a month, the premium pack includes this and other powerful tools to boost your efficiency. You can find all premium modules in the backoffice of your store!
• Love Thirty Bees, Please Support Us: For non-members, we have introduced a campaign to support Thirty Bees’ ongoing development. After a period, you’ll see a pop-up asking if you’d like to join us as a member or make a donation to support our work. Don’t worry; this pop-up won’t reappear for another two months, so it remains far from intrusive. Paying members, however, will not see this pop-up at all.
