Release notes

Features/functionality

  • added an option to disable showing the author for blog posts, along with an option to add a position (e.g. title or affiliation) to the author information

Fixes/updates

  • fixed the automatic redirect for reference content from "/publications/[name]" URLs to "references/[name]" URLs
  • refactored the updates that happen when a site moves from authentication-required to public, to prevent it running out of memory for sites with large user counts
  • prevented reference items from showing a period for the author's middle initial when there is no middle name
  • updated validation of the Mailchimp block to support current embed code
  • updated some contrib modules

Theming changes

  • made catalog listing pages use the actual page title in the title tag, instead of a generic version
  • made listing page filter buttons adapt their height to the number of lines of text (improving their appearance in French)
  • stopped spanning the first item in listing blocks across all columns (in cases where the additional items display in columns)
  • changed the library used for "carousels" (e.g. multiple banners, slider image galleries, carousel facts & figures) to a more modern system with improved accessibility
  • ensured that tags in listing blocks will no longer wrap to the next line unneccessarily
