ImprovementEasy EateryWe've added the ability to reply to emails sent to you via your Easy Eatery website, as if your customer had emailed you directly.
ImprovementForm builderWe discovered and corrected an issue with the media manager that was meant JPEG format images were being displayed on our customer's websites at their native resolution, without any cropping or optimisations applied.
Bug fixMedia managerWe recently discovered, and addressed a glitch with the Easy Eatery form builder, that allowed unpublished forms to be added into pages on your website.
Bug fixForm builderWe've reinstated a feature that automatically crops images to fit the correct aspect ratio, depending on where it is being used on your website. This feature was lost when migrating over to our new CDN host, but we've now built it directly in to Easy Eatery.
ImprovementMedia managerWe discovered a minor bug where updating image title, caption, or alternative text for an image within the media manager did not trigger an automatic purge of the site cache as expected.
Bug fixMedia managerWe've reviewed the the form builder and based upon customer feedback have implemented several improvements to the design and user-experience.
ImprovementForm builderWe've added a new feature to the Easy Eatery media manager that allows you to download the original, uncropped and unoptimised files that were uploaded to your media library.
