Release Notes - Publications

Milestone: Oct 20, 2021

Users Eric Wohnlich and Taina Dumay added to sites and given the Manager role. These users are IMS developers and will log in with these personal accounts if needed, instead of a shared admin service account. This allows more accurate security auditing.

Issue Trackers - changed the date formatting on exports so that Excel will display it as a date for sorting

Issue Trackers now support some new features: Export a CSV, change and reorder the filter fields, allows a second category field, allows renaming of the "Assigned To" field

The Zip Archive feature will now include Link (content type) objects. These objects will be zipped as a CSV file with metadata about the Link. Please note that "links" within a Page content type are unchanged - a Page content type will be downloaded as an HTML file with all anchor tags (links) included.

Changed the name of the table formatting option from "listing" to "striped". This option is available
in the editor when selecting Format for a table.
Fixed a color contrast issue with the error (red) status messages

Sites that use Issue Trackers will notice more customization options. You can now select which columns you want to appear in a tracker and customize the name of more variables.

Addresses the case where users automatically logged out due to timeout were redirected
to an error page. They should instead be redirected to the site root where they will be
prompted to relogin if applicable.

Fixed an issue where users linking their account would incorrectly see a warning message that they were logged in but not yet linked.

Users seeing the standard where-are-you-from (WAYF) page will sometimes see a new option.

User accounts using the IMS Login Service were updated to use the new Okta cloud service for accounts with non-IMS email addresses. Those with IMS email addresses were switched to use the IMS Employee login.
The Users Overview page in the site settings area now shows the Identity Provider (IdP) of the user account as well as their login service id.

Added cache invalidation when site's title is changed
Removed h1 header tag as an option in the WYSIWYG editor. This is to facilitate the pages being 508/WCAG2 compliant. Pages should only have one h1 tag and this is supplied by the page's title.

Upgraded to Plone minor version 5.2.1
Fixed an issue with "data grid" fields. These are fields that let you add or remove rows in a table that have multiple cells per table, for instance contact phone numbers. The issue would cause new rows to incorrectly generate multiple rows.
Added cache invalidation when site breadcrumbs change

When creating a zip archive, contents will now have their date set to the date of creation on the site.
Subscription emails now separate new content from updated content, when receiving periodic notifications.

Added a new plugin for the TinyMCE editor: help. This provides keyboard shortcuts to assist editors.
Added a new plugin for the TinyMCE editor: restart listing. This allows a numbered list to restart from a number other than one.
Changed the color of the scrollbar in Firefox. A new version of Firefox would use the background color of a page to set the scrollbar color, which is not intended by this site's designers.
Fixed an issue where a user that was authenticated through Single Sign-On but was not a member of a site would incorrectly be presented a login form.

Fixed an issue where files could sometimes not be uploaded. This would occur when three or more files were selected for upload concurrently and would cause the client server connection to become unresponsive.
Event type is now displayed in listings.
Changed the site contact form to send email to the "reply to" email entered in Basic Settings. All mail originating from the IMS SMTP server must have an IMS email address as the from address. The contact form was previously sending contact requests to that address, instead of the "reply to" address entered by a site administrator.

Added a sortable class option for tables. To use this, the top table row's properties must be set to Header, and each cell's property set to Header in that row.
Added a CSV export for some reports.
Deployed "to top" link to some sites that did not already have it.
