Release Notes - All Sites

Milestone: Dec 30, 2019

  • Upgraded to Plone 5.2 and python 3. Significant work was done to upgrade supporting packages for this transition.
  • The LaTeX plugin for the TinyMCE editor was visually updated and includes more options

Milestone: Oct 09, 2019

  • Added a link to return to the top of the page when scrolling down.
  • Fixed a security issue on contact searches where the dropdown of searchable categories and groups could be derived from contacts that the user was not authorized to view.

Milestone: Sep 25, 2019

  • All email emanating from the portal will come from an IMS address. This is to prevent rejection of the email because the address does not match the emanating SMTP server (also IMS). However, the basic site settings let the site administrators configure a "Reply To" email address and name. If the email recipient replies to the email, it will be addressed to this person. The previous values for "from name" and "from email" were automatically converted to these new "reply to" equivalents.

Milestone: Apr 03, 2019

  • Made an adjustment to how short term backups are created in some cases. This should result in increased speed when adding or deleting large files.

Milestone: Mar 20, 2019

  • Fixed an issue on some sites where videos could not be embedded in pages because the <iframe> tag was blacklisted
  • When copying folders from inside a GroupSpace to an area outside a GroupSpace, those folders incorrectly retained permission settings that prevented further GroupSpaces from being added inside that folder. This setting is only intended to prevent adding a GroupSpace inside an existing GroupSpace. This issue has been resolved so that folders moved outside can now have a new GroupSpace added in them.
  • Improved support for multi value displays in the Tabular View within a Collection.

Milestone: Feb 06, 2019

  • Fixed an issue where files uploaded with a .txt extension would be uploaded as a Page content type. They will now be uploaded as a File content type.

  • Contacts Folder and Displays - removed search filter fields by default for new displays.

Milestone: Dec 12, 2018

  • Added the "File with Encryption" content type. This content type password protects an uploaded file with AES-256 encryption and provides a tool to download a decrypted version of the file if password is confirmed. Tools were made available to encrypt already uploaded files.

Milestone: Nov 28, 2018

  • When using the "Link" content type to link to a page within the Plone site and the target is deleted, the Link object is now also deleted. Previously it would remain and serve out a bad link.
