v1.3.0

Released on June 18, 2024.

🚀 Features

  • Remove the repo.kirby.tools private repository configuration from your composer.json file and run composer update to install the latest version of the plugin.
  • Open a Panel page that contains the Live Preview section.
  • Your license key is is automatically migrated from the auth.json file in your root directory to the new location in the /site/config/.kirby-tools-licenses file.
  • Update your .gitignore file to exclude the new license file.
You can now delete the auth.json file from the root directory.
