What’s New in Web UI for LTS 2023 (Version 3.1.30)

Accessibility Enhancements

We continue to improve accessibility across Nuxeo Web UI to ensure an inclusive experience for all users.

  • The Add to Collections dropdown is now fully accessible with screen readers.
  • Dropdown Items and Date Picker fields are now read correctly by assistive technologies.
  • The Image and Video toolbar is now fully screen‑reader accessible.
  • The default search form now uses both labels and placeholders to clearly communicate information to screen reader users.
  • Search and form dropdowns now announce labels and context correctly for better navigation.
• Improved date picker experience:
  • Fixed issues where date pickers displayed incorrect translations or date formats.
  • Improved calendar behavior when using the Date Picker inside data tables, ensuring consistent and reliable date selection.

New Capabilities

• Direct download to Nuxeo Drive:
  • Added a new Web UI action that lets users download selected documents or folders directly into Nuxeo Drive.
  • Supports multi‑selection (up to 25 items).
  • Downloads are initiated seamlessly using Drive‑specific links for a smoother workflow.

Bug Fixes and Usability Improvements

• Fixed an issue where the selection actions toolbar did not appear after refreshing search results.
• Fixed saved searches for hierarchical vocabularies, ensuring full hierarchy paths are preserved and searches return expected results.
• Fixed an issue where Workflow Analytics was not refreshing when the date range was changed.
• Removed a hardcoded sort order on the Collections page, allowing server‑side sort configuration to be respected.
• Improved handling of search suggestions containing double quotes, ensuring special characters are escaped correctly.
• Reduced functional test flakiness, minimizing random test failures and improving overall stability.

Platform and Reliability Improvements

• To keep Nuxeo Web UI stable, secure, and future‑ready, we’ve updated several internal dependencies and build tools. These changes do not impact end-user workflows directly but improve performance, maintainability, and CI/CD reliability.
• Highlights include:
  • Dependency updates across build, test, and UI frameworks.
  • Improved test coverage reporting.
  • Updated CI/CD tooling and GitHub Actions.
  • Updated 3D rendering, workflow diagramming, and visualization libraries.
