Significant improvements

  • Updated BOM to ensure use of the appropriate SolrJ version.
  • Created an API that enables projects to add custom UI in the top left, next to the item label, replacing the existing Audience dropdown. This improvement has introduced a breaking change. See the Breaking Changes section below for more information.
  • Moved Audience dropdown code into the existing Audience plugin.
  • You can now customize storage settings that are used for the .CSV that is generated for reports.
  • Bulk scheduling now allows for workflow-level publishing permissions so you can schedule content that has reached an approved workflow state.

Significant defects addressed

  • Resolved an issue where entering new search text, after clearing previously displayed sticky search results, did not update the displayed search results as expected.
  • Fixed an issue where copying a notification subscription displayed a NullPointerExceptionerror.
  • Resolved an issue where the Bulk Workflow completion page appeared without styling, header, or footer.
  • Resolved an issue where there was no Delete option available for conversation posts.
  • Resolved an issue where pagination overlapped tabs when containers are narrow.
  • Resolved an error in the production guides for a field.
  • Resolved an open redirect vulnerability on the CMS login page that could potentially allow for redirection to malicious external sites.
  • Resolved different issues while accessing Quick View for different users, such as NPE errors and missing Quick View icons.
  • Resolved an issue where the publishDatewas set too early during workflow transitions and not updated upon final publish.
  • Resolved an issue where resetting CMS search filters did not refresh the displayed results.
  • Resolved an issue where the Preview to Edit functionality in the rich-text editor did not work for content positioned below a image placed at the top of the rich-text editor
  • Resolved an issue where editing any field in production guides and saving it did not display a confirmation, and instead introduced an unintended extra field below the action bar.
  • Resolved an issue where copying a module inserted in rich-text editor and pasting it below resulted in same UUID on copied module.
  • Clarified and resolved the editorial triggering of the loadFrommethod within the Interchangeableinterface. Editorially converting types now work as intended.
  • Resolved an issue where the Preview to Edit functionality no longer auto-scrolled to selected enhancements in rich-text editor in articles and press releases.
  • Resolved an issue in admin version history where the Compare action did not compare the currently viewed version with the version the Compare action was selected from.
  • Resolved an issue in rich-text editor where viewing a difference between tracked changes displayed escaped markup instead of visual highlights.
  • Resolved unintended layout changes caused by the removal of padding and margins for is-unlabeled.
  • Resolved an issue when selecting a video object from the Lead field of the Article type that prevented a preview of the video from appearing.
  • Resolved an issue where selected item count and the Bulk Import action for external content types did not appear.

Breaking changes

  • As a result of allowing projects to add custom UI where the Audience dropdown appeared, the rendering of Overlay Providerselection is no longer provided by default. Instead, implementations of Overlayare expected to provide their own UI to discover and switch to overlays. Projects with their own custom implementation of Overlayshould use this new API to render overlay selection in the title prefix are of the content page. Projects using the audience feature will still function.
