User Notes

This update has noticeable UI changes mostly coming from the Spotlight update. There is one significant change that impacts exhibit development.

WARNING: In the text widget, the text of a paragraph now must be contiguous with no mid-paragraph. All characters will result in a <p> tag causing a new paragraph. In previous releases, all text within a single text widget was always considered to be a single paragraph with characters being ignored.

Some other changes you will notice.

• non Spotlight changes
  • header layout - This is driven by Cornell standards recommendations for webapps
  • accessibility improvements
• Spotlight changes
  • home page cards no longer flip - The description now rises up over the exhibit image.
  • font sizes and layout have some changes
  • some minor icon changes

There aren't any other expected UI changes. If you see something that doesn't look right, report it to the dev team or open an issue.

Database tables on production were updated through mysql cli to have utf8 encoding and utf8_general_ci collation.

v2.19.1

BUGFIX only - fixes typo in variable in reindexing

v2.19.0

Revert removal of video widget

Without the video widget enabled, editing a page that already has a video caused the video to be removed. Our goal was to prevent upload of new videos through the video widget.

Reverting for now until we come up with a better long term approach.

• remove support for video widget
• add documentation for heading, text, list, quote, and hr widgets
• update dependencies
• add CircleCI as continuous integration testing in GitHub
• add Docker configs for local and CCI testing (experimental for use in browser)
• add first test to simply test that users can login
• limit tag to curated set on New Exhibit form
• use exhibit creator language instead of administrator

v2.17.11

Add /dashboard to show analytics for the site.

v2.17.10

CloudFront

CloudFront requires more work to be released to production. This reverts the change in release v2.17.9. That release was never put into production.

Bug Fix

Issue #374 - links in pages widget lost when exhibit page is edited

The override of featured_pages_block was attempting to address raising of an exception if a deleted page was referenced. The override didn’t work. It removed all pages. A fix has since been made in spotlight that does work. See Spotlight PR #2213.

v2.17.9

• setup CloudFront pre-loading of assets
