New Features
Crossfade animation
A new crossfade effect for change operators that blends old and new content directly, instead of fading to transparent in between. See the crossfade demo in the AF 8.27.0 release notes.
Improvements
Expanded font format support
Custom fonts now work reliably regardless of format. TTF, OTF, and embedded fonts are handled correctly alongside WOFF and WOFF2.
Smarter font loading
When the same font is used across multiple blocks, it's now only loaded once. This prevents duplicate downloads and keeps the initial render fast.
Bug Fixes
Fonts load in deeply nested groups
Custom fonts on blocks inside groups-within-groups now load correctly. Previously, fonts on deeply nested blocks were silently ignored.
Animation positioning fixed
Animations no longer cause unexpected layout shifts. The fix ensures blocks stay in position throughout the transition.
