Divi 5 is really starting to get interesting with the announcement of Design Variables. These include all fonts, colors, numbers, images, links, and text. For example, a company’s name, logo and phone number can be variables and all be changed across the entire site from one spot: the Variable Manager.

Oddly, here is an in-depth comparison of Elementor and Divi … written by the Oxygen team and published on the Oxygen blog.

Option Group Presets for Divi 5 is what Elegant Themes is calling their most important feature in years. It’s essentially their class-based design system and it’s quite interesting. One cool feature is the ability to stack Option Presents on Element Presents.

It looks like the ElegantThemes team is working on adding new features into Divi 5 after all. They’re going to introducing them as “Sneak Peaks.” Today they announced the Option Group Presets, which is essentially class based preset designs.

Divi 5, Alpha 7 was just released. They addressed 38 bug fixes and are working on 4 main features: Customizable Breakpoints, Option Group Presets, Divi AI Integration and WooCommerce modules. They are also working on a new grid system based on Flexbox and editable header and footer areas in the builder.

Another Divi 5 update from Elegant Themes. Along with the Public Alpha Version 3 release, here’s the good news, “New bug reports have slowed down, and we are fixing new bugs faster than they are being reported, which means the end to this bug bash is in sight.”

Elegant Themes just released an update on their Divi 5 Alpha. Moving forward, they’re going to provide updates every 2 weeks. They’ve made over 200 fixes including to the migration system.

Divi 5 has another update, now with public alpha version 1. It looks like they have been optimizing the builder and working on fixing migration bugs.

The public alpha of Divi 5 has been released. It is not yet feature complete and has not been bug checked, but it is the first opportunity to give Divi 5 a spin on a testing site.
