# Hexatenberg 1.11 — Stronger block management and reliability
Release Notes — 1.11
This release improves plugin monitoring, installed block management and update reliability, while adding a native integration with The Events Calendar.
What changes for you
Dashboard
- Added native WordPress widgets for licence status, catalogue synchronisation and local block health.
- Dashboard widgets do not make additional requests to the remote catalogue.
Library and installed blocks
- The Library now supports search, category and licence filters, sorting and pagination.
- My Blocks now shows file health, download date, verification status and a targeted repair action.
- Installations correctly handle differences between a catalogue slug and a block’s technical name.
- Package types and generated asset manifests are handled more reliably.
- Installation failures are displayed directly in the Library.
Diagnostics and reliability
- Package downloads and generated manifests are validated before installation.
- Catalogue synchronisation can be automated and configured from Diagnostics.
- Local health checks identify missing or invalid block files.
- Licence changes no longer remove an existing block before its replacement package is available.
- Successful licence checks no longer create repeated History entries.
- Static Gutenberg blocks are no longer incorrectly reported as missing
render.php.
Animations and integrations
- Custom animations and hover effects are available in the corresponding Gutenberg panels for compatible plans.
- Added Brevo integration for Contact Form blocks: transactional emails, list subscription, templates and field mapping.
- Added reinstall actions in My Blocks, either for all blocks or for a selected block.
The Events Calendar
- Added a native Query Loop variation: Events Loop.
- Added dynamic blocks for the event date, date badge, schedule, category, venue and organiser.
- Event data continues to come exclusively from The Events Calendar.
- Events are ordered by their actual start date rather than their WordPress publication date.
Recommendations after updating

- Open the Library and My Blocks pages to review the status of installed components.
- If you use The Events Calendar, make sure the plugin is active before inserting the Events Loop.
