Features

Design

This version introduces a new set of vector icons to replace the previous sprite image. You will notice a slight change to the icon buttons design, and different hover colors.

The ACF menu also got a refresh. Both the icon and menu names have changed to make ACF look more natural within the WP interface.

You will also notice the new field group status and description settings have made an appearance on the field group list!

Functionality

You can now toggle a field group status to either active or disabled. When disabled, ACF will not display the field group. This will be useful for developers who want to temporarily disable functionality without having to delete the group.

Field groups now have a setting for ‘description’. This description will appear in the field group list and is a great way to differentiate between groups especially when they use the same title.
