Melhoria

• Design Tab: The Design and Code tabs are now on by default for fresh Beaver Builder installs

Melhoria

• Components: Custom modules can now be saved and edited as Beaver Builder Components, with any field you choose editable on each instance
• Design Systems: The Used By list adds a Move to Trash action, so you can clear out test pages without leaving the screen
• Dynamic Data: A new Main Query source uses whatever the current page is already showing. The source that was there before is now called Custom Query

• A new fl_design_system_load_default_site_wide filter loads the default design system across the whole site, so its tokens reach content outside Beaver Builder
• AI Clients: The fourteen tool aliases left over from the alpha are gone. Clients should call the current tool names

Melhoria

• AI Clients: A new MCP Layout Mode setting on the Settings tab decides what pages built by a connected AI client are made of, either custom modules, native Beaver Builder modules, or a mix of both. It covers pages built through MCP only and does not change how the chat inside WordPress builds pages
• AI Authoring: Visually rich sections in a page built through MCP now come through as custom modules more often, so the result lands closer to what you asked for
• The plugin's text is now registered for translation, so translated wording appears as language packs become available

Melhoria

• Design Tab: The Layout tab adds Position, with inset offsets and Z-Index, so you can overlap, pin, and layer elements without writing CSS by hand
• Chat: Claude Opus 5 is now available in the model picker
• Chat: Requests to the current Claude models now spend less of their budget on thinking, leaving more room for the response
• Block Authoring: The Basic Elements group is hidden from Beaver Builder's content panel for the 1.0 launch while the drag and drop experience is finished

Melhoria

• Design Tab: The FX tab adds Translate, Skew, and Transform Origin, plus a visual filter builder covering blur, brightness, contrast, saturate, grayscale, sepia, invert, opacity, hue rotate, and drop shadow, for both the element and its backdrop
• Design Tab: Every FX row now has the same more menu as the rest of the panel, so you can clear a value or bind it to a design system token
• Beaver Builder: Undo and redo now work for edits made on the canvas while a design system module's settings panel is open
• Beaver Builder AI: A new AI mark replaces the chat bubble on the builder toolbar, the block editor sidebar, and the settings screen
• A new fl_ds_inline_css filter lets you redirect, trim, or suppress the design system CSS printed on the page

Melhoria

• AI Clients: Connecting a client now walks a numbered three step flow with a site requirements checklist, so you can see exactly what is blocking the connection
• AI Authoring: Pages built by a connected AI client come out as editable Beaver Builder content more often, instead of raw HTML
• AI Authoring: Connected AI clients can now save a row, column, or module as a Beaver Builder Component
• Design Tab: The background color field now offers your design system's color tokens, matching every other color field
• Assistant: Saving a page to a cloud library now takes its design system along, so the page still renders correctly wherever you import it
• Getting Started: The welcome screen has been rewritten to describe what the plugin does today

Melhoria

• Beaver Builder: Build with your own HTML, CSS, and JavaScript using the Custom module, now under Basic in the content panel and starting from a working template

• Design Tab: All four of your site's breakpoints are available, and the canvas switches to whichever device you pick
• Design Tab: Text color leads the Text tab, and the panel fills the builder panel at any width
• Design Kits: Kits can ship their own images in an assets folder, added to your media library on import, with any placeholder swaps reported at the end
• Color Picker: Multiple improvements, including staying on screen in a narrow panel, a cleaner color area, and sliders that stay readable with very light, very dark, or grey colors
• Components: Continued groundwork for design system components, with full support to come in a later release
• Accessibility: Settings tabs shown as icons are now labeled for screen readers

Melhoria

• Beaver Builder: Design system blocks are now called modules throughout the Beaver Builder interface, matching Beaver Builder's own terminology
• Components: Groundwork for using design system modules as reusable Beaver Builder Components, with full support to come in a later release
• Beaver Themer: Header, footer, archive, and other Themer layouts now render with the design system they were built with
• Beaver Builder: Design system page CSS and JavaScript now lives in Layout Settings, so page code saves as a draft and goes live when you publish
• Module Authoring: Choose which editor a field uses, so a field can open the rich text editor instead of a plain text box
• Chat: Open models on OpenRouter, including Kimi K3 and GLM 5.2, can now more reliably complete a full page build
• AI Authoring: Connected AI clients can remove rows, columns, and other structural parts of a native layout

• AI Authoring: AI clients such as Claude and Cursor can now publish pages and set their status, with visibility into staged edits
• AI Authoring: Building onto a page that already has content now asks for confirmation before replacing it, so existing work is not lost
• Permissions: Chat and the AI admin menu now respect Beaver Builder's Unrestricted Editing and Builder Admin access settings
• Accessibility: AI-generated forms and content now follow stronger accessibility guidance, including proper field grouping and labels
• Canvas Editing: The editing toolbar now matches Beaver Builder's native overlay styling

Melhoria

• Native Authoring: AI clients such as Claude and Cursor can now build native Beaver Builder layouts with rows, columns, and modules, not just HTML and design system blocks
• Native Modules: Build with a curated set of native modules, including headings, text, buttons, button groups, images, icons, and separators
• Box Module: Build layouts with the Box module as a flexible, top-level container
• Templates: Create and list reusable Beaver Builder templates, including row, column, module, and layout templates
• Beaver Themer: Create and list Beaver Themer layouts and set their location rules

Melhoria

• Block Authoring: Build design system blocks by hand, dragging Basic Elements like headings, lists, buttons, images, and SVGs from Beaver Builder's content panel
• Canvas Editing: Grid drag and drop now supports two-dimensional drop targets and swapping elements, with guards against unreachable cells
• Canvas Editing: Inline editing now works on star ratings and SVGs wrapped in links
• Permissions: Structural and code edits now respect each user's WordPress editing capabilities and Beaver Builder's unrestricted editing setting
• Chat: Block edits show a focused overlay and lock the canvas while the AI is working

• Beaver Builder: White-label branding now extends to the Settings tab

Melhoria

• Beaver Builder: AI chat and admin now respect your Beaver Builder white-label branding, including menu titles and banners
• Canvas Editing: Drag elements anywhere within a block, including across parent containers
• Canvas Editing: The target grid cell now highlights as you drag, instead of showing an insertion line

Melhoria

• Beaver Builder: Design system colors now appear in the color picker, so editing a token in chat updates every module that uses it
• Chat: Upload images to your Media Library or pick existing ones to share with the AI

Melhoria

• Chat Access: New per-surface toggles in Settings let you turn AI chat on or off independently for Beaver Builder and the WordPress Block Editor

• Canvas Editing: Selecting an off-screen element now scrolls it into view automatically
• Canvas Editing: Inline text editing now preserves author CSS targeting parent/child selectors, flexbox, and grid layout
• Welcome: Added a video walkthrough on the Getting Started screen and refreshed the roadmap

Melhoria

Melhoria

• Generation Spec: Themer-aware context tells the AI to omit header and footer wrappers, skip position: sticky or fixed at the root, and not author admin-bar CSS when generating into an fl-theme-layout post. Signal flows from the _fl_theme_layout_type meta through BB and the get-format-spec MCP ability
• Write Tool: Page-level CSS and JS now route through write_blocks via an optional top-level page: { css?, js? }. The singular write_block tool is removed, leaving write_blocks as the only code-write tool. Page asset routing guidance lives in a shared data/spec/core/page-asset-routing.md included by all authoring surfaces
• CSS Scoping: Base and page CSS emit a bare arm alongside the descendant arm (.btn plus .fl-ds-block .btn), so portal'd DOM mounted to document.body like lightboxes, popovers, and dialogs inherits DS styling. Reset CSS keeps the original chained-plus-descendant scope so it does not wipe theme chrome. AI-context projections route through the same relaxed form, so sub-agents reason about the runtime CSS shape

Melhoria

• Form Actions: Multiple actions per form submission with drag-to-reorder. One handler failing no longer aborts siblings; redirect still requires all-success
• Form Actions: New built-in Redirect action with optional delay (0-30s), absolute http(s) URL and root-relative path support, and inline validation
• Canvas Editing: Heading-level switcher in the inline-editing toolbar swaps H1-H6, P, and BLOCKQUOTE on the selected element, mirroring across repeater siblings
• Chat: New generate_blocks_structured tool emits typed JSON via a forced sub-agent call, with the same streaming progress checklist as structured page generation
• Chat: Structured Generate Blocks is now the default behavior, and the generated section list persists on the tool card after streaming ends and across chat history reloads
• Chat: Brief and guidance pass runs after generate_page_structured from pre-parsed sections instead of re-parsing HTML
• Form UI: Shared collapsible-card primitive used by repeater rows and the form-submission field for visually consistent compound chrome
• Spec: Inner-structure guidance now defaults to no overflow rule to discourage defensive overflow-hidden cargo-culting

Melhoria

• Canvas Editing (WYSIWYG): New unified click resolver with a container selection ring, selection mirrored from chat on any click within a DS block, and the BB module overlay suppressed during DS-block selection so the DS surface is the authority
• Structural Edits: Hover overlay, click-to-select, delete, duplicate, drag-within-parent, and move-up-to-parent now work inline on the canvas. Includes an overflow "More actions" menu, a flash selection ring on select, ring clamping to clipping ancestors, and a non-item reorder that mirrors across sibling repeater items
• Element Styling Panel: Four-value field redesign, ControlGroup foundation polish, schema unification across element types, element-specific class resolution (v1 and v2), readable auto-mints, and tag-prefixed minted classes to prevent collisions
• Page-unique class minting with a settings-key tier and chip preview, plus auto-mint write-back that persists minted classes into ds_block_data.template
• Live CSS Preview Overlay: Core overlay service with BB host wiring and chat-tool routing, so the model can preview CSS without committing
• Structured Page Generation: New tool for composing whole pages from blocks in one pass, with a live progress checklist surfaced for write_blocks
• Batch Tools: read_blocks, write_blocks, and update_block_settings_batch now route through new /builder/layout/batch and /builder/modules/batch endpoints, cutting per-block round trips
• Anchor Classifier: Splits icon-plus-content links into a link compound plus an extracted icon field, retiring the legacy icon-plus-content shape
• SVG auto-annotation pre-pass with type-based keys and a fallback for missing field annotations, so generated blocks annotate cleanly without per-block prompting
• Layout Patterns: New spec describing resilient multi-child grid patterns the generator can target
• Sub-Agents: Write sub-agents now receive runtime-scoped DS and page CSS plus conversation constraints, and class-generation caps are tuned for block headroom and retry safety
• MCP: Cleaned ability descriptions, gated get-page-debug discovery, tightened spec-import guidance to prevent token and class drift, and addressed findings from internal composition sessions
• Assistant Integration: fl-ds-block is exposed to BB Assistant via the fl_assistant_post_types_known hook so DS blocks appear in Assistant's content listings
• Commit Channel: moduleRef vs. headless routing now lives in a shared orchestrator, with toolbar persistence wired through it
• Template Mutation: Substrate primitives that back structural-edit persistence
• Chat: Clear-conversation hint added to the chat error card

Melhoria

• Write Tool: Dropped the scope parameter from write_block and always fetch HTML, CSS, and JS so mixed-intent edits routed to structure can author CSS. The editing strategy now bundles multi-axis changes for one block into a single call
• Write Tool: Surface the design system's available token names to the write sub-agent with a prefix-agnostic directive, anchoring against hallucinated CSS variable references
• Write Tool: Tightened CSS context, drop the duplicated Base CSS block, rename Layout CSS to Design system CSS, and add a Page CSS section so page-level overrides are visible to the agent
• CSS Variables: Renamed section image custom properties from --bb-* to --settings-* so the prefix maps directly to settings.foo in mustache. Existing pages with baked --bb- references still round-trip on read
• Generation: Bumped the per-turn generate cap from 1 to 3 so the model can retry on sub-agent failure or compose related blocks (hero + features) in a single response. perInputHash:3 and MAX_TOOL_TURNS:15 still bound the worst case

Melhoria

• MCP: Normalize ability input by stripping unknown top-level keys and aliasing label to design_system_label and uuid to design_system_uuid instead of failing schema validation; ignored keys are reported back on successful array responses
• Spec: Shared section CSS now routes to @base in the new design system flow (and @page in the existing design system flow where @base is read only) so page level rules don't drift across pages on the same design system
• Spec: Removed concrete class name examples that were steering generation toward a single eyebrow/title/subtitle skeleton across every site

Melhoria

• Inline Editing: Added image, SVG, and link editors with type-aware markers and a URL/options popover
• Inline Editing: Toolbar ancestor merge so nested editables share a single toolbar
• Admin: New Design System detail page with Used By tab; default and actions moved from the table to the detail page
• Block Editor: Page-level CSS now applies to the live document on store changes
• MCP: Spec-aware design system creation that preserves the original spec through edits
• MCP: Standardized DS-self tool inputs on design_system_uuid across get-design-system, update-design-system-tokens, update-design-system-assets, and update-design-system-guidance. Fixes get-design-system silently returning the site default when called with the wrong key. Breaking change for direct callers of these MCP tools.
• MCP: Surfaced externally_modified flag on get-page-outline and get-page-blocks for drift detection
• MCP: Stamped last_mcp_hash on generate-page so drift detection fires reliably
• MCP: Replaced static image placeholder with an adaptive transparent SVG
• MCP: Hardened guidance update against silent empty writes
• Parser: CSS over-claim audit added to PageParser (parser-hardening-v3)
• Removed the default design system runtime fallback
• Removed the fossil designSystem.active setting
• Spec: Forbid CSS at-rules inside the script block

Melhoria

• MCP: Surgical reads via include filters and a capabilities band on get-page-blocks
• MCP: Improved page import feedback with diagnostics, warnings, and label fallback
• MCP: Return rendered HTML for native BB nodes via get-page-blocks
• Fields: Added a link field type and a shared Popover component
• Fields: Added a node bindings layer for dynamic data

• Permissions: Design system block code permissions consolidated behind a SaveGuard
• AI Chat: Renamed user facing "node" to "block" across the chat UI and AI prompts; tool IDs renamed from read_node/write_node to read_block/write_block
• AI Chat: Read includes for block reads redesigned around [settings, html]; template capability renamed to html and native/core marked read only
