This marks the end of the beta phase for Blocksmith! With this stable release, we've introduced categories for blocks, enhanced the user experience in the preview modal, and ensured robust performance.

- Improved Preview Modal: Includes better category navigation and dynamic layouts powered by Masonry.js.
- Stability Improvements: Finalized functionality and bug fixes to ensure a stable, production-ready release.
Added support for new languages: ar, cs, da, el, fi, he, ja, ko, pl, sv, tr, zh
This release introduces the flexible image upload for block previews and makes the Block Settings page under "Configure Blocks" fully functional. Additionally, significant improvements to the user experience have been made, including the ability to choose between handle-based and uploaded preview images.
- Flexible Preview Images for Blocks:: In addition to handle-based preview images, users can now upload custom preview images directly via the Craft Asset Browser. Both handle-based and custom preview images are supported, offering greater flexibility in managing block previews.
- Block Settings Page:: The "Configure Blocks" section is now fully functional, allowing users to manage block descriptions and, if handle-based previews are disabled, upload or modify preview images.
- Preview Modal Improvements:: Added an option to display 3 blocks per row in wide viewports (≥1178px). The default remains 2 blocks per row.
- Usability:: Automatic selection of a default volume for handle-based preview images prevents misconfigurations.
- Performance:: Improved AJAX requests for fetching and displaying block data and preview images, ensuring a faster and more reliable experience.
- Resolved an issue where handle-based preview images were not recognized if no volume was selected.
- Minor UI issues on the Block Settings page have been addressed.
- Added a preview version of the Block Settings page, laying the groundwork for upcoming features.
- Full functionality will be introduced in a future release within the next few days.
- Prepared the structure for database migrations to support future features and enhancements.
- These migrations are currently inactive and will be rolled out in subsequent updates.
- Refactored the settings structure to support multi-page settings views.
- Minor code improvements for better readability and maintainability.
- Masonry.js integration for flexible previews.
- Improved block layout in the preview modal.
- Switched to local asset loading for Masonry.js and imagesLoaded.js.
- Minor performance optimizations.
Update button label logic to use Matrix field settings or default to 'New Entry'
Adjusted CSS to display blocks in a two-column grid layout
Removed obsolete _settings folder
Small optimizations in CHANGELOG.md and README.md. Added skeleton for settings page.
- Fixed an issue where the "Add block above" button in the context menu was occasionally not disabled when the maximum number of entries was reached.
- Additional optimizations and refactoring of the blocksmith.js file for better maintainability and performance.
- Intuitive block selection via modal: Effortlessly browse and add blocks with an easy-to-use modal interface, replacing Craft's default dropdown.
- Enhanced block selection via context menu: A dedicated "Add block above" button is available in the context menu, replacing native individual buttons for every entry type (e.g., "Add xyz above").
- Block previews with fallback support: Displays preview images for blocks, with a placeholder for missing previews.
- Dynamic settings for preview image volumes and subfolders: Customize the storage location for block preview images.
- Language support: Currently available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, and Ukrainian.
- Current limitation: Block preview images must be named after their handle and stored in the configured asset volume. This will soon be replaced with a user-friendly upload feature directly in the plugin settings.
