2016

12/14/2016

• List components: List components set to “Build list using: Search”, and some using “Advanced search”, including most Event List components, were extremely slow since the 6.1 in most cases (sometimes 20+ seconds) and now should be much faster (<1/4 second).
• Tabs component (experimental): You can now generate tabs from child pages in shared content.

11/16/2016

• Article Tools: With the removal of comments, the “Comments” option is now removed from the dialog box, too.
  
• Workflow: Special characters, like curly quotes, were not coming through correctly in emails. This should be fixed.

10/5/2016

3/30/2016

• On/Off time functionality change
  THIS CHANGE WAS RESCHEDULED FROM MARCH 16
  
  • On/off time settings on Scheduling tab of page properties hidden for non-publishers - Only publishers will see and therefore be able to set the on/off time settings.  Do not activate page after setting on/off times.  It will get activated at the "on" time or deactivated at the "off" time.
  • This is changing because previously any author could adjust these settings and activate or deactivate the page, bypassing the normal publisher requirement.  For others, this option will be grayed out.
• UB Reporter short urls.
• Add appropriate component label to all text components' dialog boxes.
• Make table component dialog box pop-out.

  THIS CHANGE WAS ROLLED BACK & RESCHEDULED
  
  • Starting Wed. Mar. 16, you must now activate the page after setting an On/Off Time in the Scheduling tab of the Page Properties, for the settings to take effect.  This is changing because previously any author could adjust these settings and activate or deactivate the page, bypassing the normal publisher requirement.  With this change an author can set up the desired on/off times, but they will only take effect once a publisher has activated the page
