Welcome to another exciting Divi 5 progress update! For those unfamiliar with Divi 5, please check out our original announcement post for an overview of this groundbreaking project. In a nutshell, Divi 5 involves a comprehensive reconstruction of the builder from the ground up, with a focus on enhancing performance, stability, scalability, and extendability. While the update won’t introduce many new features, it promises a significantly faster and more capable platform. This lays the foundation for our team and the community to seamlessly introduce fantastic new modules and features.
Last month, we showcased the lightning-fast speed of the Divi 5 Visual Builder in a demo video. If you missed it, make sure to catch up for an impressive preview of what’s to come. In this update, we’ll delve into Divi 5’s extendability, providing insights and a quick demonstration. But first, let’s review the incredible progress our team has made over the past month.
**What We Accomplished This Month:**
We are approaching the launch of Divi 5 Dev Beta, the next phase in the Divi 5 beta program. The team is diligently working on simplifying the module creation process to enable quicker development of Divi 5 modules by both the community and our team. This effort aims to expedite the overall release of Divi 5, bringing it into your hands sooner.
Here are some key changelog entries highlighting our recent achievements:
– Refactored existing modules with a new and improved element-based attribute system.
– Introduced various inline text editor functionalities across multiple modules for enhanced editing capabilities.
– Implemented Dynamic Content rendering in both frontend and Visual Builder, providing a more dynamic and interactive experience.
– Advanced Inline RichText Editor capabilities, integrating core TinyMCE editing features.
**Illustrating Divi 5’s Extendability:**
A pivotal aspect of Divi 5 is its extendability, emphasizing agility and capabilities from an API perspective. We aim to align Divi 5 with the future of WordPress, eliminating shortcodes and integrating WordPress block packages. To visually represent Divi 5’s extendability, our team developed a compelling demo – the Automatic Block Module.
This innovative module transforms every Gutenberg block into a Divi module, empowering them with Divi’s extensive design settings. This unique integration allows you to seamlessly mix modules and blocks on the same page. While the Automatic Block Module is currently a playful demonstration and a work in progress, it vividly showcases Divi 5’s potential and the ease with which new features can be created, thanks to the robust foundation we’ve built.
**Divi AI Is Almost Finished!**
In additional exciting news, the first version of Divi AI is nearing completion. This groundbreaking feature will enable you to generate remarkable images and enhance content with AI directly within the Visual Builder. The initial version has been a source of enjoyment for our team, and we anticipate wrapping it up and releasing it soon.
**Stay Tuned For More Updates:**
As promised, we’ll continue providing monthly Divi 5 progress updates. While not every update may be packed with excitement, rest assured that our team is dedicated to delivering the best possible Divi 5 experience. We appreciate your ongoing support and enthusiasm as we strive to make Divi 5 a game-changer in the world of web design.
