Apostrophe2 v2.80.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-02-28 // about 5 years ago

  • ✅ Unit tests passing.

    ✅ Regression tests passing.

    • A recently introduced change broke the filtering that prevented users from selecting too-small images when minSize is in effect. This has been corrected. Note that site visitors never actually saw too-small images because filtering did take effect later in the process.
    • Numbers (in addition to strings) are now permissible choices for select elements. If the choice selected is a number, a number will be stored in the field. Most of this fix is in the launder module but there is a small fix in apostrophe core as well.
    • If a doc is in the trash already, the edit dialog box should have a "Rescue" button rather than a "Trash" button on the "More" dropdown menu.
    • boolean fields can now be made mandatory. If a boolean field is mandatory, the form will not validate unless the user selects "Yes." This is useful for simple "terms and conditions" forms. You must specify a message to be shown to the user if they do not select "Yes," like this:
    {
  name: 'toc',
  label: 'Accept the Terms and Conditions',
  type: 'boolean',
  // Displayed if you try to save without picking Yes
  mandatory: 'You must accept the Terms and Conditions to continue.',
  // Always displayed
  help: 'I have read and accept the Terms and Conditions.'
}

    📚 Although the documentation formerly claimed that required: true would have this effect for boolean fields, it was pointed out that this functionality did not work, and as a result far too many sites already use required: true for booleans in a way that would break if we implemented the original documented behavior. Therefore we are changing the documentation to match this new implementation that maintains backwards compatibility.
