Brightspot Releases

v4.5.34 release

Release date: July 14, 2025


v4.5.34 had three improvements, and 18 bug fixes.

Significant improvements

  • Enhanced the SiteMapEntry lastmod field to support full timestamp formatting with both date and time.
  • Added support for Java 16+.
  • Added onFind, setupMenuForAria, and toggleMenufunctions to window.BRIGHTSPOT.js for experimentation from newer Brightspot versions to 4.5.

Significant defects addressed

  • Fixed an issue where links inside pop-up frames would reload the entire page, navigating you away from the underlying page you were editing.
  • Resolved an issue where changes to a name made via a content form with a Global scope persisted, even after editing the form’s scope or deleting the form.
  • Fixed an issue where the Create New option of ComboInput was not keyboard accessible.
  • Resolved an issue where users could create new revisions from revision pages even when draft creation was disabled.
  • Resolved an issue where the Archive button was visible and occasionally functional for users that did not have archive permissions in admin areas.
  • Addressed an issue where the Report widget would display an empty table with no message when no results were returned. An info message is now shown when there is no data to display.
  • Resolved an issue where workflow options were missing when editing content revisions in draft or other non-published states.
  • Fixed an issue where dragging and dropping multiple articles from The Shelf into the rich-text editor would result in only the last article link appearing.
  • Fixed CMS image preview functionality to properly handle a URLStorageItem using a URL that contained spaces encoded as + instead of %20.
  • Fixed calendar date/time picker issue that was resetting the selected time to the present time when viewing it after setting it.
  • Fixed an issue where attempting to publish a revision without a publish override would incorrectly reset the workflow, rather than publishing the revision as intended.
  • Fixed an issue where the banner on revision items would incorrectly show Published instead of Updated during workflow states.
  • Fixed JavaScript error that occurred when using the rich text editor's full screen mode in places other than on a content edit page.
  • Fixed an issue where the contents of the Dari HTML <style> element were incorrectly escaped.
  • Resolved an issue where updated editorial information was not being displayed by PrePublishAction.shouldDisplay upon publishing.
  • Removed an obsolete static database environment reference from TypePermission, replacing it with up-to-date usage of DatabaseEnvironment.getCurrent().
  • Resolved an issue where enabling the debug profiler would display unintended sequence numbers at the top of HTML pages.
  • Resolved issues with unnecessary spacing and padding in top-level widget messages and class notes.
