Noteworthy Changes in v9.11.0

Optional Telerik Removal

This release completely removes Telerik from the codebase, but can still be used to upgrade sites that have modules that have a Telerik dependency.

  • If you perform a clean install, Telerik will NOT be installed.
  • If you upgrade an instance where Telerik was already removed, it will NOT be reinstalled.
  • If you upgrade an instance that still has the Telerik libraries installed, the upgrade process will guide you through options to keep or remove Telerik.
  • If you upgrade an instance that has third-party extensions with Telerik dependencies, the upgrade process will provide instructions for how to proceed with Telerik removal manually.
  • Lastly, if you can't remove Telerik at the time of upgrade, but plan to do it later on, a wizard will be installed to help you remove Telerik at the desired time.

Telerik removal is still optional upon upgrades, but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Brand new Resource Manager (file management)

We listened to your feedback and rewrote the Resource Manager from the ground up, implementing the most requested features and improvements:
- Support for a "list" and "card" view
- Allows better sorting of files
- Better UI for long file names (no longer truncated)
- Images are no longer obscured within an imposed circle style
- Improved search
- Improved performance
- Less dependencies
- Displays more information about files within the various views
- Allows batch operations on files/folders
- Supports infinite scroll
- Full accessibility via keyborad
- Responsive to its container to allow future use directly in the Persona Bar (future enhancement)

Performance improvements

This release updated a large number of dependencies including some low-level ones like Newtonsoft.Json and PetaPOCO which significantly improved performance for installation, updates and runtime.
