New feature: Caching

We've added a caching feature to web methods and routers. Caching allows you to temporarily store the return values of certain functions. This speeds up response times of your function calls improving the overall performance of your site.

See wix-web-module and wix-router to learn more about the new caching feature. See wix-cache-backend to learn about invalidating caches.

Feature Update: Dynamic Event Handlers

Static event handlers are now deprecated and have been replaced by dynamic event handlers.

Unlike static event handlers, dynamic event handlers aren't linked to specific events and can easily be added and modified directly in your code. While static event handlers are still supported for existing sites, we recommend using dynamic event handlers for new sites and when updating existing code.
