Updates to Widget Filters
We've made filtering widgets by category even easier with this release:
For category widgets, if you'd like to filter the list by specific categories, simply select featured and select the categories you'd like to feature in that specific widget UI - no need to go back and forth to the categories page to select categories.
Got a long list of categories? You can begin to type the category name for a shortened list:
It's important to note that this will no longer pull in categories set to featured in the category settings.

Ability to Allow Third-Party Script Execution
To enhance the flexibility and security of our customers' sites when incorporating third-party content, we have introduced an option to conditionally include the 'strict-dynamic' directive in the site's Content Security Policy (CSP). This will allow you to effortlessly manage scripts and their dependencies, especially in scenarios where enumerating all potential domains is not viable. The 'strict-dynamic' directive will allow scripts approved by the policy to dynamically load other scripts, creating a more secure and manageable chain of trust.
It's important to understand that enabling this feature will modify your Content Security Policy to trust additional scripts injected as dependencies by your custom scripts. This is not necessary on most sites except those that are using features like AdSense and Google Tag Manager.
Enabling this feature will add a ‘strict-dynamic’ directive to your CSP offering more flexibility in incorporating third-party content.However, this comes with increased responsibility to ensure the security of your site.
Before activating this feature, please be aware of the following potential implications:
Increased Security Risks: Could introduce vulnerabilities like Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) if initial scripts are compromised.
Browser Compatibility: Possible compatibility problems with older browsers, affecting user experience.
