Much of this month's effort was put into behind the scenes work like updating dependencies and code cleanup. That is part of our continual effort to keep your site secure, performant and reliable. We still managed to deliver some new features and bug fixes which are listed below.
New features and improvements:
- Headline component on blocks now has alignment options.

- Sections can now be configured to reverse-sort columns on smaller displays.
- Option to add extra margin to the top or bottom of a text area and collections block.
- The default content for new sites has been updated. The default front page is now more of a starting point and less of a component showcase.
- Changes to events on content.uiowa.edu will now update on sites within one hour.
