Sandvox 2.5.3 now available

Sandvox 2.5.3 is now officially released and is available immediately for download for customers running 2.x on OS X Lion or Snow Leopard.

You can grab it using Check for Updates or download a fresh copy directly from sandvox.com. For Mac App Store customers, please check the Updates tab in the App Store app.

Here are the complete release notes:

External Media

Sandvox has an option to store certain media, such as video and audio externally. Coming June 1st, the Mac App Store will start requiring the use of a new system for referencing these files on Lion.

The new system was introduced in OS X 10.7.3. When running on that OS or later, Sandvox will start adopting the new system by upgrading existing documents to use it. This is alongside our existing support, so documents will continue to be backwards compatible with older versions of Sandvox 2.

Publishing

• Improves stability during publishing, including better error handling should an SFTP upload fail

• Sandvox is stricter about making sure host setup has been completed before publishing

• Corrects an issue where exporting a site for the first time could lead to incorrect paths in the HTML

• Fixes an issue with Facebook Comments administration

Document Handling

• Quick Look previews include custom banner, if set

• Improved responsiveness on Lion when saving to slower disks

• Improved recovery from specific document corruption scenarios

Media

• Fixes audio/video compatibility with IE 9 & 10

• Corrects aspect ratio when pasting in large images

• Addresses an issue when dragging or pasting in extension-less images

• Adobe Flash:

  • Flash videos which cannot be previewed by Sandvox, due to security restrictions in the most recent version of Flash, now show a placeholder instead; Flash videos still display correctly on the published site

  • Raw Flash files preview correctly within Sandvox

Other Objects

• Corrects ordering when dragging multiple items onto a page

• Fixes a bug dragging content onto an Index object that hasn't been hooked up to a collection

• Toggling an object's border appears immediately in the Web View

• Addresses issues undoing or redoing the insertion or deletion of some objects

• Resolves performance problems with some sites containing a Titles & Summaries index

• Copy and pasting a sidebar or callout object retains the original's title

Raw HTML & Code Injection

• Resolves an issue where Code Injection could be lost after modifying other Code Injection fields

• In-body edits appear immediately when closing the Code Injection window

• Editing a Raw HTML page's code maintains its title

Text Editing

• Corrects a bug when styling text that caused the edited portion to shift position

• Corrects the HTML initially produced when merging together sections of styled text

• Improved handling of some email addresses in the Link Inspector

Other Changes

• Localization updates

• Updated Slide Show collection icon

• Publication Transcript includes the location when exporting or publishing locally

We recommend that all OS X Lion and Snow Leopard users update to this new version. As always, if you run into problems, please file a case with Karelia Support directly so that we may address issues as quickly as possible.
