Below is a list of new features/fixes that are most likely going to be included in Oxygen 2.1 based on the information that was posted in Oxygen’s Facebook group and Slack workspace.
Note: This is not an official statement or an exhaustive list.
[Feature] Selectable HTML5 tags
A major bummer in Oxygen 2.0 is not being able to set the HTML tags for elements like Sections.
With Oxygen 2.1, we can set the HTML tag from a dropdown depending on the type of the element (Section, Div, Text, Code Block).
Section elements will be a
section
tag by default.
Header Builder element will automatically be a
header
tag.
Menu element will automatically be a
nav
tag.

[Feature] Global Colors
Global color palette sets? Yes please.
[Feature] Sticky header on mobile widths
In 2.0, it is currently not possible to have a sticky at the smallest mobile setting without adding additional CSS.
The missing “below 480 / always” option for sticky Header Builder will be included in 2.1.
[Feature] Hamburger menu icon on desktops
Louis replied
“This is coming in 2.1.”
in response to
“Hi, anyone have code to show hamburger on desktop view (instead of only when screen width is smaller)?”.
[Feature] Infinite option in Slider
Louis said:
We’re adding the “infinite” option to Unslider in 2.1 so it will continue in the same direction when you get to the end.
[Bug Fix] Notice messages
With WP_DEBUG turned on, several notices appear on the frontend.
These are slated to be fixed in 2.1.
[Bug Fix] Compatibility with Elegant Custom Fonts
There is apparently a bug in Oxygen where sometimes custom fonts added in ECF are attempted to be loaded from Google Fonts. This will be fixed in 2.1.
[Bug Fix] Console errors in non-English languages
Apparently, there is a coding error that did not account for
'
character in widget titles.
This throws errors that can be seen in the browser console in some languges other than English like Dutch. Slack discussion.
This should be fixed in 2.1.
