Avoid crashes when dragging CSS Grid handles for SASS projects
Fixed the issue with dragging CSS grid handles causing Pinegrow to hang when using complex SASS projects. The fix has the potential to improve the stability of Pinegrow SASS in general.

6.21.1 – Dec 1, 2021
Welcome to the first Pinegrow Live update!
Don’t yet have Pinegrow Live? Get it here.
Performance optimizations
Release 6.2 was noticebly slower than previous versions. The cause was updating to a newer NWJS build. It appears that newer versions of Chromium are more sensitive to DOM updates done in non-optimal way. This is forcing us to dig under the hood and fix code that caused unneccessary layout and style recalculation in the browser. So, it’s not all bad 🙂 Our tests show that Pinegrow is now noticably faster (at least compared to 6.2). Let us know how it goes for you. More to come.
Fixed WordPress post field as background image
The bug was reported on the forum and is now fixed.
Broken links checker
We forgot to tell you about this new handy tool in 6.21 release notes. Select Page -> Check for broken links to open the link checker. The tool will check both local and remote links on the selected page and notify you if any links are broken.
Runaway process
Sometimes a process called nwjs helper (Renderer) is left after Pinegrow quits and it consumes CPU and memory. This appears to be a NWJS issue and we can not fix it directly. In this update we added a code that explicitly terminates the process on Pinegrow exit. Please let us know if this has any positive impact.
WordPress adds rel=”noopener” when target in blocks is set to _blank
In reponse to this forum post. I’m not that keen on adding a magic behavior (something that happens without direct instruction by the user) to the code generated by Pinegrow. In this case, this made sense. So, Pinegrow will automatically add rel=”noopener” to block links if the rel is not set already and if target is set to _blank.
