Version 1.3 is another massive update, which has been in development over the past 3 months. This version includes bug fixing for reported issues, new components, new layout, new theme and
updated plugins/libraries to the latest stable versions. Also includes significant improvements of LESS files structure and RTL layout logic - switched to gulp task, which automatically
generates CSS files for RTL version, so now both layout directions use same set of LESS files with a few exceptions. The only benefit - very easy to track changes and update files, downside
- requires gulp task runner. But documentation and myself help to solve any kind of issues related to upgrade.
