Version 1.4.5 changelog

Latest – 1.4.5

March 19, 2026

Etch 1.4.5 restores builder support for patterns and components that use the legacy block format, which stopped working after 1.4.4 removed the old parser. It also fixes a community-reported issue where copy/paste was being hijacked inside input fields, and adds a safeguard against accidental template content wipes. On the builder side, the command palette now supports wrapping selections in span and anchor elements.
