Improvements

Performance improvements for large pages with embedded records in the CMS, particularly addressing slow interactions and content state response times.
Addressed the issue of sitemap generation for news content when no new content has been published in the last two days. This now ensures empty sitemaps are generated even with no recent content, avoiding 404 errors.
Improved the Quick View feature to make field display more dynamic and aligned with Content Forms. This ensures that fields shown in Quick View are now affected by applicable Content Forms, allowing visibility and names to be based on form settings.
Removed the JS Report Plugin from the BSP repository and replaced it with a new plugin dependency.

Bug fixes

Addressed an issue where revisions created from content in a workflow state cannot be published or scheduled, impacting workflows that require publishing directly from revisions.
Addressed a bug where object reference fields from the original object were not copied correctly during the cloning process.
Addressed a bug in the Users & Roles Advanced Search feature where the Roles field disappears when other fields are added, preventing it from being manually re-added.
Addressed a bug that at times caused redirects to no longer go to the primary URL domain.
Addressed a bug preventing users from downloading content reports due to a NullPointerException.

Addressed a bug related to a test failure caused by an unintended CSS class being added to a visible cluster title during the PrePublishTest.
Addressed a bug related to integration tests failing due to DOM structure changes affecting CSS support.
Addressed a test failure caused by a DOM change in broadcast messages that halted the build process.

v4.7.31

v4.7.31 release had five improvements, and 20 bug fixes.

Improvements

Updated BOM to ensure use of the appropriate SolrJ version.
Created an API that enables projects to add custom UI in the top left, next to the item label, replacing the existing Audience dropdown. This improvement has introduced a breaking change. See the Breaking Changes section below for more information.
Moved Audience dropdown code into the existing Audience plugin.
You can now customize storage settings that are used for the .CSV that is generated for reports.

Fixed an issue where copying a notification subscription displayed a NullPointerException error.
Resolved an issue where the Bulk Workflow completion page appeared without styling, header, or footer.

Resolved an issue in admin version history where the Compare action did not compare the currently viewed version with the version the Compare action was selected from.
Resolved an issue in rich-text editor where viewing a difference between tracked changes displayed escaped markup instead of visual highlights.
Resolved unintended layout changes caused by the removal of padding and margins for is-unlabeled.
Resolved an issue when selecting a video object from the Lead field of the Article type that prevented a preview of the video from appearing.
Resolved an issue where selected item count and the Bulk Import action for external content types did not appear.

Breaking changes

As a result of allowing projects to add custom UI where the Audience dropdown appeared, the rendering of Overlay Provider selection is no longer provided by default. Instead, implementations of Overlay are expected to provide their own UI to discover and switch to overlays. Projects with their own custom implementation of Overlay should use this new API to render overlay selection in the title prefix area of the content page. Projects using the audience feature will still function.

Resolved an issue where the replication cache reported a healthy status despite having stopped receiving updates.
Fixed an issue causing read-only fields to be sortable.
Fixed an issue where revision validation occurred before a content state was set to be updated by widgets. Since validation occurred before additional changes were made, the additional changes would sometimes survive validation when they should not have.
Resolved an issue where revisions would at times run validation without first calling beforeSave().

As part of that process, the editor created a new person. After creating the new person, the editor clicked Back, and the editor did not return to the people list being created.
Corrected an issue preventing the swapping of module types within a page. For example, an editor created a page and added three modules in the Contents field. Clicking to swap one of the modules for a different module threw a NullPointerException.
Corrected an issue preventing proper display of the Title and Description fields in the content edit form's SEO tab.
Corrected an issue preventing proper post-publish placement of an asset inside a parent asset's lists. For example, an editor created a homepage whose contents are a module. The editor then added a list List 1 to the module. The editor then copied List 1 to List 2. Next, the editor created an article, and in post-publish actions added the article to List 1. The article was also added to List 2.

Added a system-wide limit to the number of assets that can be exported from each report in the Reports widget. This limit is configured in the context.xml setting brightspot/contentReporting/reportLimit.
The task initiated by clicking on Run Report in an Edit Report widget is now asynchronous. Editors no longer experience a UI freeze when the run time is longer than a few seconds. Editors can view the report by clicking the Last Run link or by selecting > Recent Reports in the Edit Report widget.
Expanded and enhanced integration test APIs.
Added an integration test for pre- and post-publish actions.
Added support for MySQL 8. See "Breaking changes," below.
Improved keyboard navigation inside a reference field's list of assets. Specifically, after pressing the right arrow key to focus on the favorite icon , pressing the up/down, escape, and tab keys now have expected behaviors.
Added the query parameter _callers to URLs to display levels in a stack trace. For example, with _callers=10, the profiler provides 10 levels of stack trace.

Bug fixes

Corrected an issue preventing rendering of hotspots on images when those hotspots have a @DisplayName of anything other than Pin.
Corrected an issue preventing labels from appearing in hotspot pins.
Corrected an issue preventing a deleted watcher from being added again without reopening the View Watchers widget. For example, Adam inadvertently deleted Olivia from an asset's watchers list. The only way Adam could add Olivia back to the list is to reopen the View Watchers widget and then search for and select Olivia.
Corrected an issue preventing the conversion of a list from basic to advanced. For example, an editor added videos to a basic playlist. When converting the playlist to advanced, the added videos did not appear in the list.
Corrected an issue causing a filtered search field to become empty after typing a space. For example, in the Authors field, typing Adam displayed all the authors starting with Adam. After typing a space, the list of matching authors was empty.
Corrected an issue causing all Material icons within Brightspot to appear in their solid version even when not selected. For example, the favorite icon always appeared solid even when not toggled on.

Corrected an issue preventing admins from saving a header background color at the global level.
Corrected an issue causing the free text to be erased when changing a content type in the content picker. For example, inside an article, an editor wanted to open the Author field and select an author. The editor typed Adam. After changing the content type filter to Author, the free text Adam disappeared.
Corrected an issue preventing proper closure of the Bulk Workflow widget in the search panel.
Corrected an issue causing the Publish Override widget to close when tabbing to and pressing enter on the calendar icon .
Corrected an issue preventing the method ToolUi#setHidden() from actually showing or hiding fields and clusters.
Corrected an issue preventing a border from appearing around the Recent Searches widget when tabbing through the search panel.
Corrected an issue causing a phrase in the search field that was surrounded in quotation marks to ignore all filters and return all assets. For example, searching for "cms workflow" returned all assets, not just those identifiable by the phrase cms workflow.
Corrected an issue causing loss of context in the search panel after clicking . For example, clicking in the Users widget opens the search panel with filters applicable for users. Clicking removed those user-specific filters.
Corrected an issue preventing expected operation of the annotation @Ignored(false).

Corrected an issue throwing an error in The Shelf. Specifically, after saving a search for an external type (such as YouTube Video), opening The Shelf and selecting Recent Activity > Saved searches threw a NullPointerException.
Corrected an issue disabling the Format menu when an X (formerly Twitter) post is embedded in the rich-text editor.
Corrected an issue preventing updates to scheduled revisions from being saved. For example, an editor created a new revision of a homepage, and added a module to the contents. The editor then scheduled this revision. Subsequently, the editor removed a module from the scheduled homepage's contents, and scheduled this new revision. The removed module still appeared. See "Breaking changes," below.

Corrected an issue causing cluster labels to display on two lines when a validation error occurs inside that cluster.
Corrected an issue throwing a NullPointerException in The Shelf when one of The Shelf's labels are null.
Corrected an issue in which the StateWalker class was calling the deprecated RichTextElement.fromElement(Database db, Element element) method. The class now calls RichTextElement.fromElement(Recordable parent, Element element).

Accessibility
- Ensured focus is applied to fields associated with the control. For example, when adding tags to an article, clicking ensures the focus moves to the newly opened field.
- Ensured focus is applied to fields associated with the and Back controls. For example, in an article, clicking to edit a tag opens an Edit Tag form and applies focus to the Display Name field; clicking Back applies focus to the originating tag field.
- Ensured focus is applied to a subsequent control after clicking . For example, in the search panel, clicking applies focus to the first item in the subsequent popup menu.
- Added keyboard accessibility to the pagination controls and in the date picker.
- Ensured the order of screen reader announcements matches the visual layout of the content edit form.

Breaking changes

The behavior for ToolUi#isEffectivelySuggestions has changed since it no longer automatically returns false if there is a field predicate present.
Connections to MySQL 8 may not function with an existing dataset due to the following reasons:
- Upgrading from MySQL 5.6 to 8 is not supported.
- The UIDs between two images differ.
- Passwords need to be updated to conform to MySQL 8's caching_sha2_password authentication plugin. See Caching SHA-2 Pluggable Authentication.
In the class com.psddev.cms.db.Draft:
- The method void update(Map, Object, Map, boolean) has been removed.
- The method void update(Map, Object) is still available.

v4.7.12

v4.7.12 had 27 improvements, one new feature, and 37 bug fixes.

New features

Hovering over an image in the preview pane now displays the image's crop name and size.

Improvements

Refactored classes in the package com.psddev.translation (and subpackages) to facilitate integration with future translation services.
A role with publish override permission now sees read-only workflow statuses to which that role does not have permission. For example, an article has remaining statuses Review, Proofread, and Publish. An editor has permission only to publish the article using Publish Override. When the editor opens the Workflow widget, the statuses Review and Proofread are read-only labels, giving the editor an indication that clicking Publish Override skips those two statuses.
Added a permission for allowing editors to restore an asset from archive to live. This setting prevents an editor without this permission to publish from effectively publishing an archived asset.
Moved the permission for Manage Reports from Additional Permissions to UI.
Removed GuideField.js as its features were implemented in TypeScript.

- Added ability to track report configurations.
- Added option to filter contents of the dashboard's Reports widget by all users or by current user.
Embedded forms now have the same background shading in the header when the form is collapsed. Previously, when an embedded form was collapsed, the header was lost the background shading.
Improved accessibility and usability of the rich-text editor's find/replace toolbar.
The internal precision of an asset's scheduled publication date has been reduced to minutes, reflecting what is visible in the date picker. (Previously the precision was stored at the selected date:hour:minute, and additional seconds and milliseconds were included based on the time the editor clicked Set in the date picker.)
In the Revisions widget, a clearer presentation is now available for revisions by audience.
A setting is now available to ensure the Name field in the Name Revision widget is required.
Updated Gradle to v8.6.
Reduced build times in GitHub Actions.
Refactored code to avoid false positives in Sonar checks.
Upgraded Playwright to 1.41.2.

Corrected an issue preventing display of a material icon in the Icon field of the New Content Type widget.
Corrected an issue preventing proper update of default placeholder text. For example, a Byline field's default placeholder text is an asset's author. Deleting the author from the asset did not remove the author from the Byline field.
Corrected an issue preventing display of workflow statuses in various selection fields (other than the standard statuses Draft, Published, Archived, and Revision).
Corrected an issue causing incorrect sequencing as specified in the @ToolUi.FieldDisplayOrder annotations when that annotation is used in class T and also used in class Alternation<T>.
Corrected an issue causing copied dashboards to display the original dashboard's headings. For example, Sue creates Dashboard A has a widget named Sue's Reports. Sue copied the dashboard to Dashboard B, and renamed the widget to Sam's reports. When using Dashboard B, the widget Sue's Reports remained.
Corrected an issue preventing recently used modules from appearing in the module picker's Recently Used list.
Corrected an issue causing incorrect text display as specified in the @Recordable.DisplayName annotations when that annotation is used in class T and also used in class Alternation<T>.
Corrected an issue causing incorrect application of recordable annotations to modified and target classes. For example, applying the @Recordable.Embedded annotation to Modification<T> embedded both class Modification<T> and class T in a parent class.

Corrected an issue preventing bulk-uploaded images inside a parent asset from being published when the parent asset is published. For example, in a new article, an editor inserts a gallery in the rich-text editor, and bulk uploads several images into the gallery. Publishing the article did not simultaneously publish the uploaded images.
Corrected an issue preventing the method RtcEventUpdateNotifier#onChange from generating NullPointerException errors.
Corrected an issue causing case-sensitive sorting of workflow statuses in the Workflow widget. For example, an editor creates an asset, and then opens the Workflow widget. The available statuses were sorted A–Z and then a–z.
Corrected an issue causing the rich-text editor to mark correctly spelled words as incorrect, and incorrectly spelled words as correct.
Corrected an issue causing clusters with only hidden fields to appear as expandable ( control) or collapsible ( control).
Corrected an issue returning a Service Unavailable status when multiple editors are searching for assets through the search panel.
Corrected an issue causing the React Developer Tools extension in Chrome to throw extraneous errors to the browser's console.

Corrected an issue preventing application of a selected value in the search panel's Watchers filter.
Corrected an issue preventing deletion of a field's text in a production guide.
Corrected an issue preventing correct reset of the search panel's filters. When an editor has search filters configured for sticky or slightly sticky, clicking Reset in the search panel now reverts the content type to Any Content Type and retains the values of the other filters.

Updated the class ValueGenerator to allow for grouping of values in reference fields.
Deprecated the class ReferentialText and associated infrastructure. See "Breaking changes," below.
Converted the following files in /cms/tool-ui/src/main/webapp/v4/util/ to TypeScript:
- debounce.js
- getComponentKey.js
- noise.js
- repaint.js
- storage.js
- throttle.js
Editors can now filter for collections in The Shelf, and place individual assets within those collections on the content edit form.
Content templates now consistently reflect the hierarchy (from highest priority to lowest) user, role-site, role, site, global.
Admins are prompted with a message when attempting to have more than one default content template for a site.
- Admins receive a warning message when attempting to add a default content template to a site that already has a default content template for that content type.
- Admins receive an error message when attempting to use the same content template as both the default and an extra template for the same site.
Editors with access to the Publish Override transition, but with no access to any other transition, now see those transitions as read-only buttons in the Workflow widget. For example, a workflow has the transitions Send To Review, Send to Proofread, Publish, and Publish Override, and an editor has access to Publish Override. When opening the Workflow widget, the editor sees the next transition in the workflow as read-only. This improvement informs the editor that there may be other workflow steps necessary prior to publishing the asset.
Collections no longer are associated with a site; a collection can contain assets from multiple sites.
The Content Templates widget now has a filter field so editors can more quickly find their required content template.
Clicking a schedule in the Available Schedules widget now opens the Edit Schedule widget; previously clicking a schedule opened one of the assets contained in that schedule.
A new Enable Bulk Scheduling field is available in Edit Site. This field shows/hides the Bulk Scheduled Items field in the Edit Schedule widget.

Changed the threshold for displaying a + indicator to the notification count from 100 to 1000. When an editor accumulates 1000 or more notifications, the notification count is a static +.
The file v4/TextInput.js was rewritten in TypeScript, and is now delivered as a Lit web component. See "Breaking Changes," below.
Users can no longer create multiple Shelf Type Settings with the same content type.
When Sticky Search is enabled, Brightspot now retains the last setting for the search panel's Show field for the current content type. For example, an editor sets the Show field to 20 when filtering on images. The next time the editor opens the search panel and filters on images, the Show field is set to 20.

Removed the Java Server Page enhancementResult.jsp.
The Java Server Page settings.jsp was migrated to the UserSettings class.
The Java Server Page index.jsp was migrated to the IndexPage class.
The Java Server Page enhancement.jsp was migrated to the EnhancementPage class.
The Java Server Page header.jsp was migrated to the ToolPageContext#writeHeader method.
The Java Server Page objectPost.jsp was migrated to the FormRequest#processObject method. See "Breaking Changes," below.
The file v4/TextInput.js was rewritten in TypeScript, and is now delivered as a Lit web component. See "Breaking Changes," below.
The settings Auto Watch User On Publish and Auto Watch User On Update are now enabled by default.
An editor's Quick View settings override those set at the site level only for the selected content types. For example, an editor defined quick-view settings for articles. Prior to this release, that setting implied the editor wanted quick views only for articles, and quick views for any other content types at the site level were blocked. Starting with this release, the editor's configuration for an article's quick view overrides the site-level settings for articles, but quick views for other content types flow from the site to the editor.
Enhanced the native GraphiQL explorer so that the cursor does not unexpectedly jump from the current editing position in the middle pane.
Quick View is now available in the search panel's Board View.
Integrated search is now available with the Brightcove integration.
Improved the note appearing in the New Facebook Service widget.
Improved the notes appearing in the new service widget for the following services: Google, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
Updated the GraphiQL npm package to version 3.
Updated the file cms/tool-ui/src/README.md to reflect changes in TypeScript functions.
Added README documentation to the OneLogin authentication module.

Bug fixes

Corrected an issue throwing a message null value in entry: username=null when displaying a profile or user page.
Corrected an issue that, after deleting a standard content type, deleted associated editorial content types and also displayed a validation exception message. Starting with this release, deleting a standard content type archives (instead of deletes) any associated editorial content types.
Corrected an issue that prevented display of the controls Add Tags and Add Sections in the Suggestions widget when the editor has an assigned role.
Corrected an issue causing The Shelf's close button from appearing in the wrong place.
Corrected an issue generating an excessively large clickable area around the Add Object Type in the New Site Search page.
Corrected the following issues in the GraphiQL explorer:
- Fields named deprecated appeared as deprecated.
- Nested deprecated fields did not appear as deprecated.
Corrected an issue that prevented new users from resetting their passwords on first login.
Corrected an issue that threw a message Invalid advanced query when a new user opened the search panel.
Corrected an issue preventing the search field from working correctly in the module picker.
Deprecated ToolPageContext#writeQueryRestrictionForm (which created two web forms) in favor of ToolPageContext#writeQueryRestriction.
Corrected an issue that was causing the error message Unable to process file type [UNKNOWN TYPE] for Remote Theme Bundle. File must be gzip or zip file! to display incorrectly when creating a theme from a remote bundle (New Theme > Main > New File > New URL).

Breaking changes

The new method FormRequest#update provides the same functionality as objectPost.jsp. That method requires three parameters:
- object—The object to be updated, cannot be null.
- includeFields—A collection of strings representing the names of the object's internal fields that will be updated. Can be empty or null.
- excludeFields—A collection of strings representing the names of the object's internal fields that will not be updated. Can be empty or null.
includeFields and excludeFields should never be used together in the same method call.
Migration of v4/TextInput.js to TypeScript requires the following:
- Code using CSS selectors to select inputs such as > input need to be changed to > btu-input input. The platform code has been updated accordingly, but any custom code outside platform will need this change.
- Inputs of type checkbox (<input type="checkbox">) and visually hidden inputs are unaffected.

v4.7.10.1

v4.7.10.1 has one bug fix.

Bug fixes

Corrected an issue that was causing the error message Unable to process file type [UNKNOWN TYPE] for Remote Theme Bundle. File must be gzip or zip file! to display incorrectly when creating a theme from a remote bundle (New Theme > Main > New File > New URL).

v4.7.10

v4.7.10 has seven bug fixes and seven improvements.

Improvements

Improved site caching, thereby greatly reducing the time required for editors to publish assets to the live site.
The Java Server Page timeZone.jsp was migrated to the TimeZoneFormInput class.
Google Drive synchronization:
- Sync widget now has a link to the source file on Google Drive.
- When synchronization is complete, Brightspot displays a confirmation message.
Removed the Java Server Page rte2-cms-styles.jsp. See "Breaking Changes," below.
The widget Admin > Content Types now includes a filter for sites.
Removed the Java Server Page state.jsp.
Editors can now drag assets from The Shelf into single-value fields, such as Lead and Section.

Bug fixes

Corrected an issue preventing display of the Reset numbering widget when double-clicking a number in an ordered list.
Corrected an issue preventing display of the Quick View widget when clicking for a revision.
Corrected an issue preventing imported assets from appearing in the New section of the content picker. For example, an editor creates a new AP Image, and then immediately creates a new article. After clicking > Edit Image > , the content picker appeared but the AP image did not appear in the New section.
Corrected an issue preventing display of an imported image's thumbnail inside a gallery.
Corrected an issue preventing display of an image's preview in a reference field until the containing asset was subsequently saved.
Corrected an issue preventing proper rendering of Brightspot in Firefox and Safari.
Corrected an issue preventing display of AWS Comprehend suggestions.

Breaking changes

Removal of rte2-cms-styles.jsp fully removed the textCssClassGroups field and all associated references. Further support for textCssClassGroups is no longer provided, and all configured custom tags within the field in Sites & Settings should be appropriately converted to RichTextElement.

v4.7.9

v4.7.9 has three bug fixes and 19 improvements.

Improvements

The workflow for content templates was removed from global site settings (and still remains in role/user settings). A site can be assigned to a content template, so the entire admin experience for content templates is similar to that for workflows and audiences.
Preview-to-edit of an asset now allows editing of embedded or shared children assets.
Improved the selection of visible and hidden items in content forms.
The Java Server Page password.jsp was migrated to the PasswordFormInput class.
The Java Server Page change-password.jsp was migrated to the ChangePasswordPage class.
The Java Server Page objectIdResult.jsp was migrated to the ObjectIdResultPage class.
The Java Server Page savedSearch.jsp was migrated to the SavedSearchPage class.
The Java Server Page objectId.jsp was migrated to the ObjectIdPage class.
The Java Server Page misc/search.jsp was migrated to the InitiateSearchPage class.
Usages of the Java Server Page objectMessage.jsp were replaced with the method FormRequest#writeObjectMessage.
Usages of the Java Server Page objectForm.jsp were replaced with the method ToolPageContext#writeSomeFormFields.
Usages of the Java Server Page errors.jsp were replaced with the method FormRequest#writeErrorMessages.
Usages of the Java Server Page footer.jsp were replaced with the method ToolPageContext#writeFooter.
Usages of the Java Server Page field.jsp were replaced with the methods FormRequest#updateFromInput or FormRequest#writeInput (see breaking changes, below).
All files in src/main/webapp/v4/dom/ were converted to TypeScript.
Preview-to-edit is now streamlined for many levels of nested assets. Fields in the preview pane have multiple distinctive borders corresponding to levels of nesting. Modifying nested assets involves fewer mouse clicks.
Quick View now includes fields that have empty or no value.
Quick View now displays fields in the same order as in the associated content edit form.
Brightspot now includes an indication that the integration with Google Analytics 4 is configured correctly.

Bug fixes

Corrected an issue that prevented the class LoginPage from resolving HEAD requests.
Corrected an issue that prevented display of the navigation menu after clicking .
Corrected an issue that caused the Google Drive Content Edit widget to display an error instead of hiding.

Breaking changes

The new method FormRequest#writeObjectMessage requires the following parameters:
- object—the object’s status/visibility determines what message is sent to the form (cannot be null).
- body—the WebResponseBody containing the banner's text (cannot be null).
The new method FormRequest#writeSomeFormFields requires the following parameters:
- object—source object for the form's contents (cannot be null).
- includeGlobals—boolean indicating inclusion of global fields.
- includeFields—collection of all fields that should be included (can be null).
- excludeFields—collection of all fields that should be excluded (can be null).
Regarding the replacement of field.jsp with FormRequest#updateFromInput or FormRequest#writeInput:
- In the original use case, if the isFormPost attribute is set to true, then use FormRequest#updateFromInput. This method updates the given object's field from HTML inputs.
- In the original use case, if the isFormPost attribute is set to false, then use FormRequest#writeInput. This method writes HTML inputs for the given object's field to the given body.

v4.7.8

v4.7.8 has six bug fixes, nine improvements, and three new features.

New features

The Shelf now includes only those content types that can be added to the current asset in the content edit form. For example, if a content edit form has a single field for a list of videos, the editor can configure The Shelf to include only videos.
The Content Types widget has a new control for listing editorial content types. Editors can use this listing to see the assets based on an editorial content type.
Added support for Lit decorators in TypeScript.

Improvements

Improved display of an image's Colors widget.
The Java Server Page number.jsp was deleted following a previous migration to the NumberFormInput class.
Deleted the deprecated Java Server Page metric.jsp.
The Java Server Page region.jsp was migrated to the RegionFormInput class.
The Java Server Page permissions.jsp was migrated to the PermissionsFormInput class.
The Java Server Page login.jsp was migrated to the Login class.
The Java Server Page reset-password.jsp was migrated to the ResetPasswordPage class.
Deleted the deprecated Java Server Page sharePreview.jsp.
Implemented Google Analytics 4 for reporting at the site, search, and asset levels.

Bug fixes

Corrected an issue that prevented the preview pane's height from being set correctly.
Corrected an issue that disabled scrolling in the preview pane after updating text in the associated content edit form.
Corrected an issue that caused images with height greater than width to overflow their containers in the content edit form (but were resized correctly after publishing).
Corrected an issue that caused a static persistent query mapping to throw an error when creating a new API endpoint.
Corrected an issue that added extraneous whitespace characters in templates defining a prefix with the tag HBSfield.
Corrected an issue that caused unit tests involving WebRequest objects to fail.

v4.7.7

v4.7.7 has three bug fixes and three new features.

Improvements

A new permission ImageEditor was added for access to the image editor.
The Shelf now includes only those content types that can be added to the current asset in the content edit form. For example, if a content edit form has a single field for a list of videos, the editor can configure the Shelf to include only videos.
The Java Server Page map.jsp was migrated to the MapFormInput class.

Bug fixes

Corrected an issue that threw a NullPointerException error when importing a list of tags or sections from a Google Sheet.
Corrected an issue that prevented an image from appearing in an article's lead field. Specifically, this error occurred when modifying an image's crop for a particular size, and the browser window was resized to trigger the crop, but the cropped image did not appear.
Corrected an issue that flashed an extraneous message when closing the Edit GraphQL Explorer Options widget.

v4.7.6

v4.7.6 has six bug fixes and one new feature.

New features

Editors can start numbered lists at an arbitrary number. This feature is useful if a numbered list is interrupted by an unindented rich-text enhancement, and the list needs to resume at the next sequential number.

Improvements

The annotation @ToolUi.Cluster has a new element collapsible that determines if a cluster is collapsible. For example, @ToolUi.cluster(collapsible=false) indicates the annotated cluster is not collapsible. The default value for collapsible is true, allowing users to collapse clusters.
Assignment Desk—
- Assignment Desk's search panel is now integrated with Brightspot's standard search panel. Editors can search for Assignment Desk assets by filtering on the Assignment and Pitch content types.
- Assignment Desk's dashboard is now integrated with Brightspot's standard dashboard. (This is a code change only; the editor's experience remains the same.)
GraphQL—
- The GraphQL Explorer now bypasses introspection query rules. (Before this change, an IntrospectionQueryRule contained logic to permit the GraphQL explorer to perform introspection queries.)
- Added _label to GraphQL responses.
The Java Server Page location.jsp was migrated to the LocationFormInput class.
The Java Server Page repeatableObject.jsp was migrated to the RepeatableObjectPage class.
Initial loading of all global content edit forms is more performant.

Bug fixes

Corrected an issue that threw an undefined/undefined zipped (currently on undefined) message during Styleguide builds.
Corrected an issue in which all Filter radio buttons in the image editor could be toggled off. Starting with this release, at least one of the Filter radio buttons must be toggled on (as is standard with radio button groups).
Corrected an issue causing injection of superfluous AWS Rekognition time frame metadata and Search Exclude metadata into State JSON data.
Corrected an issue in which, in some configurations (front-end/preview URL on a domain different from the CMS; preview-to-edit disabled at the global level, enabled at the site and profile levels), preview-to-edit did not function.
Corrected an issue that prevented correct display of the search panel's board view when the browser window has a width of about 778px.
Corrected an issue in which a saved sticky search did not return results after changing the view in the search panel. Starting with this release, saving a sticky search also saves the search panel's view.

v4.7.5

v4.7.5 has two bug fixes, 11 improvements, and one new feature.

New features

A new User converter allows admins to import new Brightspot users from a Google Sheets document.

Improvements

GraphQL—
- Improved performance of static persisted GraphQL queries.
- Updated GraphiQL to version 2.0.
- A custom toolbar was added to the GraphiQL UI that contains new controls, including show/hide deprecated fields in the Explorer pane and minify the query pane.
- CMA endpoints now allow for ObjectType as a query entry field.
Reduced the Styleguide build time by launching the screenshots task concurrently instead of sequentially.
Added padding in the image editor so editors can more easily grab corner anchors.
Moved the Analytics widget to its own tab in the content edit form. The tab includes a new message explicitly indicating that no analytics are available for an asset (instead of a graph with zero values).
The search panel's Show/Hide widget now groups fields by content type and tab, allowing editors to distinguish between fields with the same label. For example, the Page content type has a field Description in both the Main tab and the SEO tab. The Show/Hide widget lists the Description field under a cluster Page > Main and separately under a cluster Page > SEO.

Bug fixes

Corrected an issue in which queries working in Solr 4.6.1 no longer work in Solr 8.11.1.

Breaking changes

The fix for Solr 8.11.1 described above requires a SQL-to-Solr copy.
The improvement for static persisted GraphQL queries deprecated the field CustomStaticPersistedQueryProtocol#persistedQueryMappingFile; this field has not been relocated.

v4.7.4

v4.7.4 has four bug fixes, 11 improvements, and two new features.

New features

A code change enables developers to extend the image editing menu with additional options.
The Recent Activity and search panel widgets now provide a quick view. Clicking in those widgets displays a summary of the corresponding asset. Administrators and editors can configure the quick view's contents by content type.

Improvements

Standardized the settings for configuring the Brightspot UI theme. Previously these settings where accessed from the control; now they are accessed through an editor's profile, site settings, or global settings.
Improved the internal representation of tags' and sections' hierarchies.
The search panel retains its state based on three levels of stickiness:
- Sticky—Search panel retains, for the global filter and content types, the following selections: content type-specific filters, view, sort, columns, zoom, and group by. For example an editor searches for articles written by Olivia, displaying the results in list view and sorted by update date. The editor closes the search panel. When the editor re-opens the search panel, the same settings are visible (as are other settings applied to other content types).
- Slightly sticky—Search panel retains selections for the status and publish date filters.
- Disabled—Search panel always opens with default settings.
Permissions on the Suggestions widget are now more granular such that editors can now see the suggestions, save a draft, and submit an asset into a workflow.
A dashboard's name is now different from the first tab in the dashboard. (Previously the dashboard's name was automatically assigned to be the label on its first tab.)
GraphQL:
- Changed CDA schema for image filter metadata (sepia/invert/grayscale) to support a single filter value.
- Browsers can now cache CORS preflight requests.
- Schema loader can now read the @Javadoc annotation.
Enhanced the real-time messaging pertaining to character counts in text fields.
Brightspot issues a warning when an administrator modifies an editorial content type that has published assets. For example, an editor publishes assets using the editorial content type MyArticle. If an administrator modifies MyArticle, Brightspot displays a warning indicating that there are already assets published through that content type.

Bug fixes

Corrected an issue that prevented resetting metadata overrides after replacing one image with a new one.

v4.7.3

v4.7.3 included the following:

6 bug fixes
5 new features
25 improvements

New features

Editors can create contextual edits on an asset's shared lead image. For example, Adam added a shared image as a lead for an article. Adam now has the ability to edit this image so it appears differently in the lead, but appears as the original image everywhere else it is used.
Editors can import Google Docs as articles, blog posts and documents.
Editors can import Google Sheets as sections or tags.

Improvements

The module picker now has a search field for quickly finding a specific module or style.
Shared previews now include a link that opens the underlying asset in the content edit page.
Saved searches now remember the editor's selected tab and exposed fields. For example, an editor saves a search MySearch while in board view and showing only the label field. The next time the editor runs MySearch, the results will be in board view and showing only the label field.
Imports from Google Drive now include the following fields: name, owner, file type, last modified date, and last modified by.
Watches and watchers:
- Editors are now added to an asset's watchers list after they save or publish the asset. (Editors can opt-out of this feature.)
- The Watchers popup is now opened from the content edit actions menu.
- Improved synchronization between the watchers and conversation widgets.
- When copying an asset, the watchers are no longer carried to the new asset.
- Depending on permissions, an editor can remove other editors from a list of watchers.
There is no longer a For Editors tab in field level notes. (Depending on permissions, clicking in a field now displays information for developers only.) Editors now see field-level explanations in production guides.
Editors can now receive a notification when an administrator uploads a new file, or applies a new URL, to a remote theme.
GraphQL:
- Elements associated with the @ImageAttributes annotation are more widely available through GraphQL.
- Image-editor settings are no longer available through GraphQL.
- Added image orientation metadata to CDA ImageAttributes.
- Added support for generic Map fields to CMA, rCDA.
- Added focus points as a function of an image's size grouping to CDA, rCDA.
- Added suggested focus points to CDA, rCDA if those suggested points were actually applied to an image.
- Theme fields in CDA schema are now captured in a separate _Theme entry field.

Bug fixes

Preview-to-edit:
- Corrected an error that prevented editing of embedded or shared objects using preview-to-edit.
- Corrected labeling of the rich-text editor field in preview-to-edit.
Corrected an error that caused the Watchers widget to time out for a very large number of watchers.

v4.7.2

v4.7.2 has four bug fixes and 13 improvements.

Improvements

Added the following commands to the TypeScript feature: config, login, logout, types download, and types upload.
Added validation to fields in classes that extend from ExternalItemConverter.
Improved generation of sitemap files to exclude redirects.
The method ObjectField#getUniqueName uses the @InternalName of the field's declaring class, if it exists, and falls back to the class's name. This improvement allows developers to change class names without a full data migration.
Added a cancel button to the pre-publish popup, enabling editors to avoid initiating any pre-publish actions.

Bug fixes

Fixed scrolling in the Add widget for adding a module.
Corrected a regression error that displayed empty production guides that cannot be closed.
Corrected a UI workflow that required refresh of the content edit form after authentication with an external service. For example, an editor wants to import an asset from Google Drive. The editor sees a link in the content edit form to authenticate with Google Drive. Brightspot displays an authentication form, the editor enters the credentials, and successfully creates a connection. Brightspot returns to the content edit form and displays the authentication link instead of the available assets in Google Drive. The editor needed to refresh the content edit form to see those assets.

Breaking changes

Referring to the update to the method ObjectField#getUniqueName described above, projects already using @InternalName on a class will experience disconnected Solr indexes. Such projects must re-index the SQL database and copy the results to Solr.

v4.7.1

v4.7.1 has three bug fixes, nine improvements and one new feature.

Caution

An issue was discovered affecting v.4.7.1 that prevents users from setting style presets from the rich-text editor, such as setting alignment on modules. A workaround is available by adding the following custom CSS.

.CIG-row.StyleguidePreset-row .CIG-small:has(select[data-selected-id=""]) + .CIG-large { 2 display: block !important; 3}

The custom CSS above is compatible with Apple Safari and Google Chrome. A setting must be updated in Mozilla Firefox for the custom CSS to be compatible. See Mozilla's browser compatibility section.

New features

TypeScript is now available for back-end development.

Improvements

An Expand All control is available on all widgets for opening all clusters.
Themes can now be imported from a URL.
Admins can provide their own client API keys for Shutterstock, instead of using the generated key.
Brightspot provides a prompt to admins indicating the integration with Google Analytics is configured correctly.

Breaking changes

None.

v4.7.0

v4.7.0 has five improvements and two new features.

New features

Added commands to the JavaScript CLI.
Developers can now use programmatic creation of API clients and keys even when no WebRequest is present.

Improvements

GraphQL—
- Removed arguments as allowed by the upgrade to GraphQL version 19.
- GraphQL no longer depends on the analytics module.

Breaking changes

None.
