Release v1.41 – The Columns Block!

4th new block of 2019! P4 webbies can now enjoy a very flexible feature, combining three blocks in one, allowing to group content in aligned, responsive and styled columns.  Icons, tasks, title, description and links (or any combination of those) are allowed. Here’s how to use it.
