• Automatic browser cache invalidation
  RocketCake now forces Chrome to automatically reload external css files when they have been changed.
  Previously, when you made changes to the design, chrome would sometimes agressively cache the css file and show the styles of a previous design, causing your website to show up wrongly sometimes for you during development.

• Search Engine
  There is now a search engine component available for download from the component download page:
  Simply put the component on a page and it will let your visitors search your whole website. This doesn't use any index, so it is only fast for small websites.
  Note: This search engine will return results from all pages in your project, no matter if they are password protected or not.
  You can exclude pages from the search by entering them in the list of excluded pages.
  You can adjust the font and design of the result page by formatting the text "The search result will be displayed in here." - this text won't show up on your website.

• Simple Age Verification
  A simple age verification component to ask wether the user has a certain age. If clicked yes, the popup is removed for the whole website. If no, the user can be redirected to a special page. If you click click "Yes", the popup won't appear again. For testing, to make it appear again, remove the local storage key "ageConfirmationOverlay" under Application -> LocalStorage in the developer tools of your browser, or just delete and clear all browser settings.

• Link folders
  It is now possible to link folders created within rocketcake via the hyperlink dialog.

  It's now possible to create round navigation menu panels. For that, simply set "edges" of your navigation menu to "round", and check the new option "RoundEdgesAlsoForPanes". Then your navigation menus are also round. If you don't want the top menu bar to have round edges as well, simply make its background transparent and place it into a container of which you then apply the background you want to have for your top menu.
  

• PDF document
  you can now embed PDF files directly in your website using the new PDF element. Simply create the element where you want your file to appear, select a PDF from your local disk, and RocketCake will handle the rest, including uploading the .pdf file to your server once you publish your page.
  

• New Templates
  There are 3 new built-in templates for your websites, and the existing ones have been improved a bit.
  

• Better looking Slideshows
  Slideshows now can use a fixed aspect ratio, and new slide shows you create automatically do this. This means they automatically adjust their height based on the screen size and images inside them. Previously, in order to have a slideshow look nicely in all screen sizes, this would have to be done using breakpoints, while now, slideshows automatically adjust their size.
  In order to have slide shows from projects created in older RocketCake versions to this, simply check the option "FixedAspectRatio".
