Wow! Version 1.10 a big release of Architect with a plethora of enhancements and fixes.
This version has a greatly improved Beaver Builder module, filtering by date, support for RSS feeds as a content source, it now uses Freemius for licensing and much, much more.
If you haven’t tried Beaver Builder, do give it a look. (aff).
This is the biggest update to Architect ever, so please take the time to read the changelog thoroughly.
Note: The Architect documentation is still not up to date, but should still be usable. That is my next project!
It should appear in your plugin updates in the next 24 hours.
