- Changed the Template Store UI and animations to enhance performance on older devices.
- Fixed the right click menu in the Slider Builder, which enables you to easily select overlapping layers.

LayerSlider 6.5.7
This update fixes a PHP debug message displayed when your site has the WP debug mode enabled.
LayerSlider 6.5.6
Changes of media layers:
Autoplaying videos will no longer display the play icon for that brief moment, making background videos and in other cases a perfectly smooth video surface.
You now have the option to set the volume of background videos. They are muted by default and there was no way to change that previously.
The 'Controls' and 'Show Info' media layer settings now include an 'Auto' option. It is based on the most common use cases and respects settings set by the embed code or HTML attributes.
The 'Controls' option for media layers was not working as expected in some cases. For example, you can now enable controls for audio layers as well.
Media layers are now properly pause and resume playback (based on your settings) when closing/re-opening a Popup slider.
Changes in the WPML implementation:
When setting up the 'Dynamic content from posts' feature, the Post Options screen now shows only the posts belonging to the currently selected language set by WPML. Duplicate entries created as a translation will be filtered out and can be reached by choosing the corresponding language from the WPML menu on the top admin bar.
The 'Dynamic content from posts' feature now lets WPML to generate the post permalink on its own. This ensures to always have the appropriate URL based on your WordPress and WPML settings.
Fixed an issue that could make layers unselectable in the Slider Builder when you used 'class' as a custom layer attribute.
Fixed an issue that caused Google to index the 'static' plugin folder causing unwanted search results.
Fixed the OS native fullscreen mode in Firefox.
Fixed previewing the Origami transition in the Slider Builder.
Fixed an issue in the Dynamic content feature that could break the Slider Builder interface in very rare cases.
Increased compatibility by workarounding certain issues in 3rd party plugins and themes.
General fixes and improvements under the hood.
NEW FEATURES

- Finding the perfect Font family and Font size is easier than ever. Just hover over the list items and quickly see a real-time preview in the Preview Area.
- New documented API method: resetSlide.
BUG FIXES
- Improved compatibility with WPML: layer edits no longer show up as new entries in WPML's String Translation module, instead they are marked as 'Translation needs update'. Due to backwards compatibility, this new implementation of WPML will only be used in newly created sliders. We've also updated the Multilingual Sliders section of this documentation.

- Multiple-selection is now easily dismissible just by clicking on the desired layer again.
- The whole Preview Area has been made much more fluid, changes are now appearing without delay.
- The Undo Manager now restores layer selection as well.
- The System Status now checks for database related issues and an Update Database button has been added for fixing potential issues whenever it's possible.
