A huge update went live today for ImagePress, my WordPress image gallery plugin, merging 3 consecutive versions. This is mainly a clean-up release — spring clean-up — removing redundant code and features.

I have removed 2 JS libraries and replaced them with vanilla JS, locally loaded (as opposed to CDNJS). I have removed Font Awesome and added SVG icons for better performance and caching. There’s still more to be removed or refactored, but that will happen in version 7.8, at some point in May. This release should be faster and more reliable.

One of the features I introduced in this version is video uploads as secondary uploads. All uploaded video files will be displayed using the native <video> tag.

Another big code feature is that now I have only one image grid codebase. This opens the door to better theme compatibility and more custom integrations and extensions.
