v4.7.5 release

Release date: February 28, 2023


v4.7.5 has two bug fixes, 11 improvements, and one new feature.

Significant new features

  • A new User converter allows admins to import new Brightspot users from a Google Sheets document.

Significant improvements

  • GraphQL—
    • Improved performance of static persisted GraphQL queries.
    • Updated GraphiQL to version 2.0.
    • A custom toolbar was added to the GraphiQL UI that contains new controls, including show/hide deprecated fields in the Explorer pane and minify the query pane.
    • CMA endpoints now allow for ObjectType as a query entry field.
  • Reduced the Styleguide build time by launching the screenshots task concurrently instead of sequentially.
  • Added padding in the image editor so editors can more easily grab corner anchors.
  • Moved the Analytics widget to its own tab in the content edit form. The tab includes a new message explicitly indicating that no analytics are available for an asset (instead of a graph with zero values).
  • The search panel's Show/Hide widget now groups fields by content type and tab, allowing editors to distinguish between fields with the same label. For example, the Page content type has a field Description in both the Main tab and the SEO tab. The Show/Hide widget lists the Description field under a cluster Page > Main and separately under a cluster Page > SEO.

Significant defect addressed

  • Corrected an issue in which queries working in Solr 4.6.1 no longer work in Solr 8.11.1.

Breaking changes

  • The fix for Solr 8.11.1 described above requires a SQL-to-Solr copy.
  • The improvement for static persisted GraphQL queries deprecated the field CustomStaticPersistedQueryProtocol#persistedQueryMappingFile; this field has not been relocated.
