What the next major is carrying

The top entry in the Pro list is the working set for 5.0.0. It is written as it lands, so an item disappearing from it means it slipped, not that it shipped quietly.

Pro · working set

  • Improved: EDD Category Grid & Category Carousel widgets completely refreshed
  • Improved: Iframe widget improved completely rebuild
  • Improved: Video Gallery widget completely refreshed
  • Improved: Smooth Scroll Feature Improved
  • Improved: Breadcrumbs widget
  • Added: Lazy Load control — shows the poster until the visitor hovers, so no provider iframe, script or video file is requested before that; the Poster set on a video wins, otherwise the YouTube/Vimeo thumbnail is used (Hover Video)
  • Added: Poster is now available for online videos too, not just self-hosted ones (Hover Video)
  • Improved: Autoplay now runs only while the ticker is on screen — the marquee used to animate non-stop wherever it sat on the page, which made long pages feel sluggish (News Ticker)
  • Improved: Smooth Scroll no longer loads the GSAP library — around 70 KB less on every page of a site that uses no GSAP-based widget; pages that do use one are unaffected (Smooth Scroll)
  • Fixed: Smooth Scroll kept a requestAnimationFrame ticker — and with it a full ScrollTrigger update — running on every frame of every page whether or not anyone scrolled; the loop now idles when nothing is moving, so GSAP's ticker can sleep (Smooth Scroll)
  • Fixed: Every video built its player at page load, mounting the YouTube/Vimeo iframe and its requests before the widget was ever on screen; players are now built when the widget scrolls into view (Hover Video)
  • Fixed: The hamburger toggle had no accessible name — both icon branches render a bare SVG, so screen readers announced it only as "button"; it now carries a label plus aria-controls/aria-expanded (Nav Menu)
  • Fixed: The offcanvas close button had no accessible name for the same reason (Nav Menu)
  • Fixed: The offcanvas panel was labelled by an element ID that was never rendered, leaving the dialog unnamed (Nav Menu)
  • Fixed: SVG logos with no intrinsic size printed width="1" height="1", giving the browser a wrong aspect box on every chip; the attributes are now omitted when the attachment reports no usable size (Circle Hub)
  • Fixed: PHP 8.2 undefined-property warnings
  • Fixed: License AJAX endpoints were missing nonce and capability checks, letting any logged-in user read the stored license key and email (License Manager)
  • Fixed: License AJAX endpoints were missing nonce and capability checks, letting any logged-in user submit an invalid key and deactivate the site's license (License Manager)
  • Fixed: License deactivation endpoint accepted cross-site requests because it verified the capability but not the nonce (License Manager)
  • Note: Table widget moved into the Core plugin
  • Removed: Dark Mode widget — pages still using it will no longer render the toggle

FAQ
Frequently asked

Changelog

Straight answers about what this one does, where it fits in a real build, and what it costs you to ship.

Still stuck?

Read the documentation for this one, or write to us — a human answers inside a business day.

Where does the Changelog widget get its content from?

From a file you already publish. The Changelog widget in Sky Addons for Elementor takes a Remote URL, fetches that file on the server and renders it as version cards — so the release notes shipped with your plugin or app stay the single source of truth, with no second copy to keep in step.

What changelog file format does the widget understand?

Markdown, including the WordPress readme convention. The Sky Addons Changelog widget recognises a version heading written with equals signs around it and prints the number cleanly, and it turns a release date in square brackets into parentheses. Each version paragraph plus its bullet list becomes one card.

How do the coloured Added and Fixed labels appear?

By keyword. Start a bullet with Added, Updated, Improved, Fixed, Removed, Changed or Note followed by a colon, and the Sky Addons Changelog widget turns that word into a coloured tag. Each tag has its own text and background colour in the panel, so the taxonomy matches your brand.

Does the changelog fetch the file on every page load?

No — caching is on by default. The Sky Addons Changelog widget stores the parsed result for three days out of the box, and the Cache Time field takes any number of days. Switch caching off on release day so the page picks up new notes immediately, then switch it back on.

Can I show only the newest few versions with a Load More button?

Yes. The Sky Addons Changelog widget shows three versions on load by default and hides the rest behind a button that reveals three more at a time. Both numbers are editable, as is the button wording, so a long release history does not swamp the page on arrival.

Does the Elementor Changelog widget need Elementor Pro?

No, and it does not need a paid add-on either. The Changelog widget ships in the free Sky Addons for Elementor plugin and runs on free Elementor, so remote fetching, keyword tags, caching and the load-more behaviour are all available without a licence of any kind.

Can I add a support link underneath the changelog?

Yes. The Sky Addons Changelog widget takes a Support URL and a label — Get Support by default — and renders it as a linked row beneath the version list with its own icon and arrow. It opens in a new tab, which suits a helpdesk or ticket system on another domain.

Do links inside my changelog entries open in a new tab?

Yes, automatically. Every link the Sky Addons Changelog widget finds in the fetched file is given a new-tab target along with the noopener and noreferrer attributes, so a visitor following a ticket or commit link does not lose the release notes they were reading.

Can I style each version as its own card?

Yes. The Sky Addons Changelog widget styles the version block with background, padding, border, radius, shadow and the gap between versions, then styles the entries inside it separately with their own text colour, row spacing and a divider colour between bullets.

What happens if the changelog URL cannot be reached?

The widget says so rather than failing silently. With no URL set the Sky Addons Changelog widget prints a short notice in its place, and an unreachable file produces a not-found message instead of an empty gap — useful in the editor, and a signal to check the address rather than the styling.

Does the changelog file need to be publicly accessible?

Yes, and it is the one requirement to plan for. The Sky Addons Changelog widget fetches the file from your server, so a URL behind a login, a staging password or a private network will not return the release notes. Point it at a raw file on a public host or your own site.

Why not just paste the release notes into a text block?

Because a pasted list goes stale the moment you ship again. The Sky Addons Changelog widget reads the file you already maintain and adds the parts a text block cannot: version cards, coloured keyword tags, a load-more button and server-side caching, all updating the moment the source file does.
