Bugfix SUP-17458 Link to this entry

GraphQL: The library for handling GraphQL Filters in Java has been updated to fix inconsistent behaviour when filtering nodes with fields of type “date“ or “number“,
which had the field set to null.
Before the fix, such nodes were never returned regardless of the used filter. Now the behaviour is identical to filters on fields of other types (such as “string“ or “boolean“) so that
null values will not natch when compared to non-null values, but the negation with “not” will match.

Existing UI Systems have been overhauled:

ui/scopes: have been de-deprecated and reworked
ui/surface: now controls general UI behavior and can derfer it to other systems entirely

All UI Components may now inherit from the new ui/component base-class, as new functionality and requirements have been added.

Icons have been reworked to use Google's Material Symbols instead of Image files.
Icons that are used are mapped and available in ui/icons.

New Systems for dynamic, and consistent UIs have been added:

ui/dropdown: Adds a generic way to open a dropdown on a specific component.
ui/dynamicForm: Allows for dynamic form and form-control generation, as well as a component registry to add new components.
ui/modal: Adds a generic way to open modals with a form.

New UI Components have been added:

ui/attributeButton: Regular button, which also allows for editing of a single attribute of an HTML-Element.
ui/attributeToggleButton: Extension of ui/attributeButton which adds toggle functions to the button.
ui/checkbox: Checkbox component to control a boolean value.
ui/colorPicker: Color picker to either select a pre-defined color value or let‘s the user select/pick one.
ui/contextButton: Button which opens a context (Modal/Dropdown) on click.
ui/contextToggleButton: Extension of ui/contextButton which adds toggle functions to the button.
ui/dateTimePicker: Date-Time Picker to enter/select a date, or a date-time.
ui/iframe: Iframe which allows embedding of external components and interacts via the window message protocol.
ui/input: Formerly ui/text, and is a generic input element.
ui/select: Select which allows the user to select one or more options.
ui/selectMenu: Special select for dropdowns only. Allows the user to select only one option and has additional step for extra data input.
ui/slider: Horizontal slider/range to select a number.
ui/splitButton: Button which has a secondary smaller button added to it.
ui/text: Just text without any interactions.
ui/toggleSplitButton: Extension of ui/splitBtton which adds toggle functions to the button.

Components which have been removed:

ui/accordionMenuButton: Use a combination of ui/contextButton, or ui/dropdown; and the ui/selectMenu instead.
ui/menuButton: Use a combination of ui/contextButton, or ui/dropdown; and the ui/selectMenu instead.
ui/multiSplit: Use either a ui/splitButton, or a combination of ui/contextButton, or ui/dropdown; and the ui/selectMenu instead.
ui/port-helper-attribute-field: Use the ui/attributeButton or ui/attributeToggleButton instead.
ui/port-helper-multi-split: Use either a ui/splitButton, or a combination of ui/contextButton, or ui/dropdown; and the ui/selectMenu instead.
ui/text: Not directly removed, but changed to ui/input, as this component will now only render text.

Component layouts and stylings may have changed significantly.

Enhancement GPU-1253 Link to this entry

Various settings for plugins and the UI Toolbar have been changed.

Noteworthy changes for the Aloha.settings.toolbar:

Tabs require an id, and label property and optionally an icon.
Tab component slots (@components@) can be defined by either string or as { slot: string; scope: string | string[] } elements.

For full type definitions, check the ui/settings file.

Enhancement GPU-1088 Link to this entry

Now it‘s possible to use generated Mesh API key for the login request, with `apikey` string body parameter.

Enhancement GPU-676 Link to this entry

Search: Several enhancements have been applied to the content, sent to the search engine for the indexing. Each (micro)schema is presented a `noIndex` flag, marking the content of the (micro)schema as excluded from the indexing. Each (micro)schema field is presented a similar `noIndex` flag.
By default no flag is set, meaning the content to be indexable. This feature serves security purposes, preventing the sensible information from leaking through the search engine.

Enhancement GPU-940 Link to this entry

REST: A new HttpServer option, `minifyJson`, has been added to control over the REST API payloads being pretty printed for readability, or minified for resource save. An analogous setting has been added to the Java `MeshRestClient`.
Default value is `true`, so the payload minification is turned on, which is a breakingS change, if one expects the pretty-formatted output.

Enhancement GPU-1115 Link to this entry

Core: The on-demand image manipulation feature has been refactored for DDoS protection. The new image manipulator option, `mode`, has been added with the following values:
`ON_DEMAND` keeps already existing behaviour with creating/reusing the image variant automatically on each request,
`MANUAL` requires an extra step of calling the image variant creation REST API prior to the variant serve, `OFF` disables the feature completely. A set of REST API calls has been added for the image variants manipulation.
The GraphQL `nodes` call has been extended to filter/serve over the image variants of a selected binary field, if applicable.
