Which files changed?⚠️ Theme Code Assets → Legacy Structure ⚠️ - We've updated the theme's code base and modules to improve how the CSS and JS files are handled. See Page Speed and Core Vitals documentation for detailed information.
The Legacy Code Structure setting enables existing users with customizations to retain the previous code configuration until custom modules can be converted to work with the new code base.
Installing the update will NOT automatically disable the legacy code structure.
Deactivated Animation On Scroll for viewport ⚠️- This applies to modules visible in the viewport of the user's device on the initial page load. If your modules include Animation On Scroll (AOS) and you would like to retain this feature for those modules, you will need to update the settings after installing the update. AOS in the viewport has a negative impact on First Contentful Paint (FCP) so it has been removed by default and can be enabled in the page settings.
Prerendering 🏎️ - We have resolved a conflict that was preventing pages from fully prerendering as well as other module improvements to allow content to prerender. Prerendering is the process by which the HubSpot CMS generates the static version of a page to improve page load speed and security.

JS Performance Optimization - Split the JS files to have JavaScript code load only when needed on the page.

Sec Simple Listing Slider - Added a slider layout for Sec Simple Listing module. See Content Sliders.
Device Mockup Layout Improvements - Added a vertical layout for the Sec Device Mockup module and settings to control the vertical alignment of the image/content.

Which files changed?⚠️ jQUERY REPLACED WITH VANILLA JS ⚠️ - We've updated the theme's code base and modules to remove the dependency on jQuery. See Can I Remove jQuery for detailed documentation. We also provide a recommended course of action based on your website/theme configuration.
