Easy Eatery Beta 0.8.52 released

We’ve rolled out v0.8.52, bringing a brand-new editing experience, important bug fixes, and a range of refinements designed to make day-to-day workflows smoother and faster.

New Text Editor

The legacy TinyMCE editor has been replaced across the control panel with Quill JS, providing a more modern and streamlined editing experience.

Key improvements include:

• A cleaner, more intuitive interface
• Better integration with the control panel design
• Significantly improved handling of variable tags (such as those used in email templates)
• Easier insertion and removal of variables
• Reduced risk of accidentally modifying or breaking variable tags during editing

This update makes content management, particularly email template editing, more reliable and user-friendly.

Table Reservations – Bug Fix

We have fixed an issue where starting to select a status for one booking and then clicking the “No tables” button on a second booking could result in tables being assigned to the first booking incorrectly.

Table assignments now behave as expected when interacting with multiple bookings.

Form Builder Improvement

A small usability enhancement has been made to the form builder. Clicking inside the teal dotted area surrounding a form field will now behave the same as clicking the settings (cog) button, allowing you to jump directly into editing that field.

Page Builder – Quality of Life Updates

This release includes several refinements to improve performance and usability within the page builder.

Performance improvements

• Reduced overall loading time by approximately 300 milliseconds
• Reduced artificial delays when updating the live preview

User interface and preview updates

• Fixed a Safari issue where the loading overlay only partially covered the live preview
• Added a new Fullscreen preview size (Desktop no longer behaves this way by default)
• Desktop preview now uses a 16:10 aspect ratio for a more realistic representation

Editing behaviour improvements

• Placeholder elements when editing a block’s content now default to off
• When editing a block, the default view is now always the Content tab
  • Previously, if you edited Options or Custom Fields, the next block opened would remain on that tab, even if it did not contain fields there

Mobile improvements

• Replaced vh units with dvh, resulting in improved behaviour on mobile phones and tablets
