What’s New in Web UI for LTS 2023 (Version 3.1.33)
User Experience Improvements
- Improved document display after workflow completion:
- After completing a workflow task and refreshing the page, Web UI now correctly displays the associated document instead of the completed workflow task.
- Improved comment author display:
- Comments now display the author's full name instead of their username, providing a more user-friendly experience and aligning with the behaviour found in the legacy JSF UI.
- Improved avatar rendering:
- User avatars now display only the first and last name initials, preventing initials from overflowing the avatar circle for users with multi-part names.
- Improved Recent Documents reliability:
- Fixed an issue where corrupted local storage data could prevent navigation from the Recent Documents list. The application now automatically recovers from invalid stored values.
- Improved document list readability:
- Restored the expected width of the Document Title column in List View, improving readability when multiple metadata columns are displayed.
- Improved placeholder configuration for the Date picker:
- Administrators can now control the visibility of placeholders through a configurable nuxeo.conf property. The application also provides the correct validation message when an invalid format is used.
Accessibility Improvements
- Enhanced Grid View accessibility:
- Improved Grid View accessibility by eliminating redundant adjacent links that could cause duplicate announcements by screen readers during keyboard navigation.
- Improved screen reader support in the Permissions screen:
- Repeated buttons now expose unique accessible names, making them easier to identify and use with screen readers.
- Improved iframe accessibility in the Document Viewer:
- Added missing title attributes to inline frames (iframes) to improve screen reader compatibility and support WCAG compliance requirements.
- Improved pagination accessibility:
- Pagination controls now provide clearer context and navigation semantics for screen reader users, improving accessibility when navigating large result sets.
Administration & Directory Management
- Improved group membership management:
- Group member listings now identify users that no longer exist in the directory. These entries are clearly marked as not found and can be removed directly from the group.
- Improved user detail synchronization:
- When a user's attributes are updated, the Group view now immediately reflects the latest user information without requiring additional actions.
Workflow & Document Management
- Improved WOPI action availability:
- Fixed an issue that could cause the WOPI action button to disappear after a page refresh. The required metadata is now loaded correctly during the initial request, ensuring the action remains available when applicable.
- Improved collection and document navigation reliability:
- Resolved a spurious AbortError that could appear in browser consoles when document listings were cancelled due to rapid navigation, filtering, sorting, or refresh operations.
Platform & Build Improvements
- Migrated unit testing framework:
- Migrated the Elements Repository unit test framework from Karma to Web Test Runner, providing a more modern and maintainable testing platform.
- Improved build reproducibility and security:
- Locked JavaScript dependencies to verified versions and adopted deterministic dependency installation processes to improve supply-chain security and ensure consistent builds across environments.
