Greetings! We just released the new Site Designer 5.0.3341.

This new version brings a new style control to the mix: the Stroke. The Stroke feature allows you to apply a separate color outline, a stroke, around the text.



The Stroke control can also be applied to Container elements. This is handy if you would like to have all children text elements within the parent container take on the same Stroke appearance.



Additional improvements and fixes in this build include:

• Show hint when a Component has been updated with the selection.
• Improved messages for template/component when they have been created with newer version.
• Change button color for “Update from Selection” within the component pane.
• Fixed Chrome on the browsers list so it would no longer be missing.
• Corrected an issue when using the 'sd-xxx-cols' classes from the "Grid based Layout Elements". When adding customizations, there might be class conflicts and if the class was renamed it lost the grid config.
• Corrected an issue with missing JavaScript map. It was causing a 404 error on the console when publishing or exporting a Foundation project.

We hope you enjoy the new version!
