3. Domain Management
Domain Management feature enables the creation of multiple domains for the site so the same site can be accessed via multiple domains in the browser.
On this release you will be able to create new domain, view the list of all the domains that have been created and make a domain as the main one for the site. For every new site that is created, Codex will generate a default domain automatically.

5. Container in Codex-Front
The implementation of Container block is added in Codex-Front. Layouts in Codex are structured based on Rows and Columns. Since rows and columns can limit users to how much they can manipulate with the structure of a layout, Codex has added a new widget called Container that can be used in all types of layouts. This feature is also implemented in Codex-Front.
6. Weather Widget
Now you can view weather of a specific city in real time using the new widget that we added called Weather Widget. You can add a weather widget in any type of layout that you want and add as many cities as you want to display the weather of, to your widget.
Note that currently you can view only the weather of the cities in Czech and Kosovo.
