• Bug Fix: Repeater maximum row setting was disabling the "add row" button 1 row early.
• Performance: Field options are now loaded in via ajax. This results in much less HTML on the edit field group page
• Performance: Field inputs are now loaded in via ajax. Again, less HTML on edit screens improves load times / memory usage
• Bug Fix: Field groups registered by code were not showing on ajax change (category / page type / page template / etc). To fix this, your field group needs a unique ID. When you export a field group, you will now be given a unique ID to fix this issue. Field groups without a fixed id will still show on page load.
