New layout options

Most of the development work from the Summer has been focused on increasing the number of layout options on offer:

• Transparent header options and new header layouts
• Ability to add fixed background image/video sitewide
• Sticky call-to-action footer bar
• New full screen background image/video blocks
• Alternative hero panel layout
• Options to show/hide filters

Feature improvements

• New Masonry Image Gallery
• New Countdown module
• New Timeline features
• New theming options to apply different themes per block

The next priorities in our roadmap are the Interactive Map and Itinerary builders.  The frontend for these is completed, so we are hooking them up in the CMS over the coming months.
