These release notes are subject to change without notice.

Release notes

Features/functionality

  • added support for a tagline (a short paragraph that complements the title and introduces the content, but is not treated as a header) to all content types that have standalone pages; styling may change slightly in the future
  • added support to add a tagline underneath any header in the visual editor
  • added the ability to hide the taxonomy terms that would normally appear at the bottom of the page/teaser for all content types that display them
  • added support for "UW yellow level 2" as a section background colour
  • added support for automatic list blocks to start from a specific record, allowing placing more than one block of the same type on the same page without overlap (for example, to have a different style for the initial entries)

Fixes/updates

  • modified how authenticated site login prompt is handled, with the goal of fixing the intermittent white screen/missing login prompt issues (please report if they persist after your site has been updated)
  • made references save new authors with only a single name as the last name, to match required fields and ensure display
  • made default entries in user-editable taxonomies change to French or Chinese when the site is configured as such
  • fixed issues sorting items in manual list blocks
  • ensured invalid catalog category URLs return 404 rather than an error
  • renamed all OFIS references to OPB
  • updated OPB profiles to use the new field for graduate studies
  • ensured that the page title no longer shows twice when viewing some previous revisions of content
  • ensured taxonomy entry consistently fails validation when the maximum length is exceeded
  • make conference paper references display "presented at the [conference name] conference" instead of "presented at the [conference name]"
  • added the ability to choose the number of entries to display per page in the "fix 404s" report, and changed the paginator to offer more options
  • fixed filtering on layout builder blocks so all matching items display
  • restored the display of the site's base path when adding new redirects
  • prevented some content scheduling fields from moving to the bottom of the page after certain autocompleted fields were exited
  • added a contrib module to improve cache handling
  • updated several contrib modules

Theming changes

  • removed (for accessibility reasons) the <cite> tag that automatically wrapped the blockquote block's quote attribution field; this tag should now be manually applied in the visual editor, only when appropriate
  • prevented ordered list numbers from overlapping a left-aligned media image (unordered lists were already fine)
  • fixed the alignment of the icon beside the title in the layout builder sidebar
