Today we are proud to announce the release of Oxygen 2.2.
Oxygen 2.2 is a significant update with the following main new features:
Scroll Animations
Revisions System / Rollbacks
Z-Index
Blend Modes
CSS Transforms
Frontend Performance Enhancements
Faster Builder Load Time
Bloat Eliminator
Google Font Weight Chooser
UI Enhancements

We've also fixed bugs, and polished and enhanced the UI. Among other things, the builder loads faster, the +Add panel is searchable, and warnings are displayed after a migration that requires re-signing shortcodes.
