All WCMS 3 sites will soon be upgraded to WCMS 3.2.42.
These release notes are subject to change without notice.
Release notes
Features/functionality
- gave automatic listing blocks the ability to display configurable text when there are no results, defaulting to blank (meaning do not display anything when there are no results)
- added an option to the dashboard to upload multiple items of media at once
- made it possible to access schema.org metatag options when editing content
Fixes/updates
- made several "quality of life" updates to the dashboard content list view
- "last updated by" is now "last revised by" and displays the author of the most recent revision of any kind, rather than the most recent published revision
- "last updated" is now "last revised" and displays the relative time for the most revision of any kind, rather than the most recent published revision
- the "title" search field will now find titles both of the published revision and the most recent revision of any kind
- in cases where a forward draft of published content has a different title, the "title" listing column will now indicate both titles
- removed the Tableau visualization embed block
- lowered the default webform file upload limit from 100Mb (the total form submission limit) to 25Mb
- removed the WAV format from webform's video file element's default extensions
- prevented users from creating redirects away from the internal path for generating image thumbnails
- made URLs in "compact" references be links
- made "faculty & schools" links in the news content type link to the filtered listing page for news
- rearranged the order of the taxonomy items in the "faculty & schools" taxonomy to group the affiliated institutions in alphabetical order
- removed the internal "permission" filter from the people listing page
- made the publication menu item's enabled status properly preserved across WCMS updates
- started stripping links from summary text when used in blocks where the summary text itself is part of a link (preventing nested links that could cause styling issues)
- updated the destination of the WCMS how-to link to the current landing page
Theming changes
- ensured that agenda-styled event listing blocks are properly themed for all theme colours and section backgrounds
- ensured banner text colours have accessible contrast (in most cases; additional fixes coming)
- ensured image gallery navigation links have unique text, for accessibility
- removed the header around links using the option links style, for accessibility
- ensured the date for news items in listing blocks is properly visible
