Headway 1.5.5 is live and available to the public

We are excited to announce that Headway 1.5.5 is out of beta and available to the public. You can download 1.5.5 in the members’ area.

Clay has done it again in fact. The new user interface is just amazing. And the new visual editor truly takes Headway and building a site to the next level.

Upgrading:

• If you’re already running Headway 1.5.1, just upload and activate.
• If you’re on 1.0.1, you must use the Headway widgets preparation plugin prior to upgrading. For more, please see the documentation.

Besides having bug fixes, Headway has a new visual editor interface. The complete list of changes are below.

Changelog

Bug Fixes:

• PHP 4 COMPATIBILITY
• Invisible visual editor bug fixed. No more creating new admin user.
• Switching to tags system page from the layout chooser shouldn’t lead you to nowhere now.
• Letter spacing of none/0 will save now.
• A few easy hooks were messed up. Those should be fixed now.
• Twitter Leaf/Feeds Optimized
• Duplicate header/navigation all fixed.
• Header upload and gallery upload working just fine.

New Features:

• Completely new interface! Already? Yes…
• Visual editor speed.
• Site Title: There have been numerous sites not using a tagline, thus having a title like “| Site Name”. Clay added an if statement to remove that pipe character if the have no tagline.
• Header link image URL: If the image uploader fails, you now have the ability to manually type in the URL to your header.
• Mass Font Change: With one click of the mouse, you can change every single font on your site

Here is a post and video showing off the new visual editor done by John Haydon.

UPDATE:

This just in. One of our users who had the opportunity to use 1.5.5 to build his site, Jersey Estate Planning, just sent this to me:

As the head of a small law firm, time and money are my two biggest commodities. I don’t have the time to spend months creating a website and I don’t have the money to hire someone to do it. With Headway Themes, I was able to create a robust website that is indistinguishable from one created by a “professional” and I was able to do it on my own in less than one weekend. What’s also great about using Headway is that it is super simple to add onto when I decide I want to offer more content to my visitors, like video or a photo gallery or drop in a webform for a free report. I think spending thousands of dollars is silly when you can create your own, professional looking website/blog using Headway for less than $100. It’s a no-brainer! - Victor Medina

Victor’s site is just one example of what someone can do when they grab hold of Headway and run with it.

Some of what they are saying on Twitter:
