Web UI Release Notes

Recently Released Changes

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.
