21.0.0

Updated spellchecker

In this release, we have added support for an alternative spellchecker implementation, which utilises integration with Hunspell. Existing customers will continue to use the current spellchecker, as additional resources are required for the new implementation. Please refer to our documentation for details of how to set up, or contact our support team if your platform is hosted by Jadu. Advice on adding a new dictionary for the spellchecker is available in our developer manual.

The user interface for the spellchecker has also been updated to better meet WCAG 2.1 AA criteria.

Developer guidance for the changes in 21.0.0 and above are available in our developer manual.

Integration with Silktide

Silktide is an online site governance tool that is used to check the quality of your website. It can report on spelling mistakes, grammar errors, and accessibility issues, amongst other functionality. With this integration in Jadu CMS, we can now:

• Push changes to Silktide as soon as they are published as part of workflow to allow earlier testing of new versions.

21.2.0

Updated friendly URL handling 

Extensive work has been undertaken to refactor the handling of friendly URLs on Photon installations. This has moved the processing of friendly URLs fully into the Symfony route handler to improve performance. Processing of friendly URLs has moved from the web server, to the PHP application, as a pre-request Symfony event listener is now employed.  

As a consequence of the change in technology, there have been a number of minor changes in behaviour, including: 

• When creating a friendly URL to a page on a different website, the browser will now be redirected to the new location rather than rewritten. This will mean the browser address bar will be updated with the new URL. They will return a 302 HTTP status code.
• Friendly URLs to Jadu blogs will also now redirect rather than rewrite, meaning that the browser address bar will be updated with the new URL. They will return a 302 HTTP status code.
• Friendly URLs will no longer be case sensitive on Photon installations ie. /buspasses and /BusPasses will both direct to the same destination without separate records being added for each.
• MyJadu API endpoints now use a Symfony compatible controller, rather than a stand alone page, when used on a Photon installation.
• .htaccess file is no longer used by the CMS application on Photon installations, however Classic systems will continue to use .htaccess. The URLrewriter DLL library will remain available, but is no longer required for Photon installations on the Windows Server operating system.

• Scheduled tasks
  • Further information added to scheduled task log to aid in debugging issues.
• Directories
  • A view live link is now present on a directory record in the action menu
