We’ve just released the third release candidate for ContentBlocks v1.12.0!
In case you haven’t yet heard about all the exciting new features, you can read more in the official announcement here.
To upgrade, just click the upgrade button in the MODX package manager. And don’t forget to make a backup before upgrading! 
In addition, 1.12.0-rc3 brings a couple of improvements, and a whole slew of bug fixes. A BIG thank you to all of you who took the time to report issues you were having with the new features. We’re aiming for this to be the final release candidate before going stable with 1.12.0-pl.
In this latest release, both dropdown input types, and select settings have a new Search Enabled property which defaults to off. If left off, your dropdowns will continue to behave the same way; but it enabled, dropdown fields will include a search (typeahead) field that allows users to quickly find the value they’re looking for. Perfect for large lists!
We’ve also included the ability to upload, and crop animated GIF images, keeping the animation.
