We're excited to announce the release of uiXpress 1.2.1, our most feature-rich update yet. This release represents months of development focused on giving you powerful new tools to manage your WordPress admin experience.

What's New

A Complete Media Library Overhaul

We've completely redesigned the media library from the ground up. The new interface brings advanced filtering, lightning-fast search, and streamlined bulk operations that make managing large media libraries a breeze. Whether you're working with hundreds or thousands of files, the new media library keeps everything organized and accessible.

Enhanced User Management

Managing users just got significantly easier. The redesigned user interface introduces advanced filtering options and comprehensive bulk actions, making it simple to manage users at any scale. Whether you're running a small site or managing hundreds of users, these new workflows will save you time every single day.

Built-in Analytics System

Understanding your site's performance is now built right into uiXpress. Track page views, analyze visitor behavior, see device breakdowns, and explore geographic data - all without relying on external services. Get the insights you need to make informed decisions about your site, right from your dashboard.

Refined Design System

We've refined the entire design system with improved dark mode support, better spacing consistency, and modern component styling throughout. The result is a more polished, professional interface that's easier on the eyes and more enjoyable to use.

Powerful Global Search

The updated global search delivers more relevant results with improved keyboard navigation and expanded search capabilities. Find what you're looking for faster, whether it's content, settings, or specific admin pages.

Modern Posts & Pages Tables

We've redesigned the posts and pages tables with a new sidebar layout that improves navigation and makes content management more efficient. The new layout gives you better visibility and faster access to the tools you need.

Important Security Improvements

This release also includes significant security enhancements. We've moved user capabilities from DOM output to a secure REST API endpoint, improving both security and performance. Your site is now more secure by default.

Rolling Out Gradually

A note about updates: This release is available now in your account and for new customers, but we've temporarily disabled automatic updates. We're taking a careful approach to ensure everything works perfectly across different environments. Once we've confirmed smooth operation, automatic updates will be re-enabled for everyone.

If you'd like to update now, simply log into your account and download the latest version. As always, we recommend testing on a staging site first.

What's Next

This release sets the foundation for exciting features we have planned for the coming months. We're committed to making uiXpress the most powerful and intuitive WordPress admin customization tool available.

Thank you for your continued support. We can't wait to hear what you think of these new features!
