WOO is listening to its users and implementing changes.

Lots of new items in 5.6.0, although some you need to search for.

Need I say more? Isn’t that what you look for in a software company? Or any company for that matter? They’re also adding support for the plugins they keep building (e.g. Our Team, Projects, etc.)

Search in the Primary Menu

If you look at what’s popular in the forums or in the WOO Ideas, the stuff that’s getting requested is getting implemented. Sure, not all of it, of course, but hey, some stuff. Some compared to waiting for, uh, for example, me to build it? I’ll take it.

For example:

  • Search to the primary navigation menu
  • Added contextual options to “Woo – Component” widget for the “Business” Slider
  • Projects plugin integration
  • Integration with WooSlider

Canvas 5.6 is a good-size release and worth checking out. BTW, they followed up with a quick 5.6.1 where they, for example, fixed it so that the magazine image didn’t link to an image but to the post (duh) … something a client happened to ask me about today!

Woo!
