Bubble Card v1.6.0-beta.3

The war against bugs and instability continues 🦄

v1.6.0-beta.3 :

Hi everyone! I’ve dedicated nearly all of my free time to bring you this release, which I hope will be the candidate for the stable 1.6.0 version! This update introduces numerous enhancements, including fixes and optimizations for the editor, faster pop-ups, and A LOT of other fixes.

Thank you for your continued support and I can’t wait to hear your feedback 🍻

✔️ Bug fixes

• Removed the back_open option. It now behaves as if set to true because it was not functioning as expected when set to false.
• The cache is now cleared on all devices after every update. If you are using bubble-pop-up.js, you still need to change the version number in your configuration.yaml before updating (to match the new version you are updating to).
• Numerous optimizations have been made for iOS users.
• The pop-ups now operate more quickly. I've put a lot of work into this!
• Custom styles also load more quickly now.
• Fixed all issues related to entering editor mode, which is also faster now! (Edit: There is still an issue for Bubble Pop-up users, damn!)
• Fixed a minor error that was displayed in the Chrome console.
• Fixed the issue "Popup button randomly stops working" #258.
• Fixed the issue "Bubble Card log spamming during startup: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'entity_id’)" #255.
• Cleaned up the code a bit.
• Various other fixes have been implemented.

v1.6.0-beta.2 :

Hi! Here is a new update that should fix all the new issues introduced in v1.6.0-beta.1. This new version was a huge challenge for me, as it involved a complete overhaul of the entire code structure. However, I sincerely hope that everything is working flawlessly now!

And given the uncertainty of getting another version out before the holidays, I’d like to take this opportunity to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you! 🎄

✔️ Bug fixes

• Fixed "bg_color, bg_opacity don't work" #246
• Fixed? "bubble card error android webiew" #247
• This one should be definitely fixed "Reload issue still present on 1.6.0-1 beta" #248
• This one too 🤞 "Beta v1.6 Won't load on Android Companion App" #252
• This one too? "Scrolling is not smooth on Android" #253

There is now a small issue with this fix from v1.6.0-beta.1 (but it works after a refresh):

• Fixed the pop-ups background color that was not changing when switching themes.

v1.6.0-beta.1 :

Hello! I’m excited to announce that the v1.6.0 update of Bubble Card is finally here! This update is all about making Bubble Card work the way it should. I’ve worked really hard to fix almost all known bugs that were affecting Bubble Card’s performance, usability and stability.

In this update, I also made a major change. The entire code has been refactored, which makes Bubble Card run smoother on low-end devices and easier for me (and everyone) to maintain!

Can’t wait to hear what you think! And remember, a bug-free software is like a unicorn, some say it doesn’t exist, but with this update, we’re one step closer to finding it!

And here is the biggest Bubble Card changelog of all times:
