Since the success of 5.1, we've been working on the next instalment of Pulse, and it's a beauty.
And includes a lot of the most popular feature requests and bug fixes from the forum and email 
A new theme, smaller footprint and offline blogging!
To get at it, download the latest BETA from your dashboard and install it and start playing.
Here's the complete list of changes:
Pulse 5.2BETA1
NEW
-
Offline Blogging Desktop Capabilities! Archive, write, preview, and publish your Pulse Blog posts with MarsEdit on your Mac or Open Live Writer for the PC. Make it even easier to edit your blog without needing a browser!
-
Brand new Default Template using Bootstrap4! Previous template moved to “default-2” folder, as an example of a child template
-
Select the service to use for the GeoIP settings in the stats. Select from: freegeoip, ipstack, snoopi. Enable in Settings and input the corresponding API key
-
Added pre text on blog tags such as "posted in" - can be changed in language files
Upgrading from Pulse 3 To Pulse 5 On Non Template Site -
New Dropdown styles added to default-2 template including responsive drawer menu on mobiles (new template also has beautiful mobile responsive sub-menu items!)
IMPROVEMENT
- Reduced File Size and number of Files of Pulsecore in order to speed up SFTP transfers on install! 83.57% file item size crushing! Only 17MB to upload!
- Added date to {{recentposts}} tag - thanks @rie05
- Reduced gap before inline edit boxes so doesn't jump down the page when visited as logged in user
- Added more space between Blog Tags
- Moved "Back" button in Blog to bottom of post (from top)
Styling Pulse CMS Blog Pages - Redactor from 3.0.11 to 3.1.1
https://imperavi.com/redactor/log/ - Improved deep links so Pulse installs on some server setups (which put all sites in the root) now work seamlessly with multi-site installs on the same server
https://github.com/yuzoolcode/pulsecms-tracking/issues/59 - Editor user dashboard improvements: Block list showing for editors in the dashboard, download backups no longer showing and the sidebar shows pages that the editor can edit
Need Editor Capability Clarification - Pages List in the Admin now shows the page title as well as the filename
- Login Admin Template welcome message now editable from the Admin Settings page. The old translations are used as the default if nothing entered
Personalising admin login screen - Navigation CSS moved from Pulsecore CSS file into the template CSS files so much cleaner and easier to work with. All custom templates need to include menu css in the their own assets.
