Release notes for web applications

We released SiteBuilder 2.511 on Monday 11^th July 2022. In this version:

• We completed fixing a bug that affected the display of form submission receipts. The original bug fix, in the previous release, had an unintended effect on submission notification emails, which was corrected via a hotfix on Tuesday 5 July.
• We continued work which will enable complex pages such as homepage layouts to be converted to the Components Editor.

We released SiteBuilder 2.510 on Tuesday 5^th July 2022. In this version we made the following bug fixes and improvements:

• We made some improvements to how the Components Editor displays on smaller screens, such as mobile and tablet.
• We fixed a bug so that the message displayed to users at the top of their form submission receipt now honours line breaks. You can select the text which is displayed in receipts via editing the form properties.
• We no longer send notifications when an existing news item is edited or deleted. Users who request notifications from a news page now only receive notifications when news items are created.
• We now only load Universal Analytics scripts, and no longer load older Google Analytics scripts. This is because Google has now moved all accounts to Universal Analytics.
• We clarified the validation message displayed when the requested data entry feed can't be found. We also improved the data entry feed picker, so you can now select the relevant data list page and then select the appropriate term from the list provided. To add a data entry feed to your page, select Add content feeds from the left-hand menu, and then select Data entry content from the sub-menu.
• We increased the threshold to make it easier to download a site content report for very large sites.

We released SiteBuilder 2.509 on Tuesday 28^th June 2022. In this version we made the following bug fixes and improvements:

• We fixed a bug which prevented converting some page templates to the Components Editor.
• We made accessibility improvements to the form page template. This enables form fields such as text, email and phone number to support autocomplete. When adding or editing these fields you'll see a dropdown labelled Autocomplete. You can use this to select a specific input type, or you can set autocomplete to Off or Auto. This feature enables the user's browser to provide autocomplete suggestions where possible.
• We updated sample privacy notices used in the form page template, to link to the relevant central privacy notices. These include: Event attendance, Information request, E-submission and Assessment.
• We fixed a bug which caused the anti-spam ReCAPTCHA used on forms to display incorrectly on mobile devices. You can edit a form's properties to change its anti-spam setting.
• We continued work which will enable complex pages such as homepage layouts to be converted to the Components Editor.

We released SiteBuilder 2.508 on Monday 20^th June 2022. In this version we made the following bug fixes and improvements:

• We fixed a bug so that the magnifying glass icon in a forum page's search field can now be selected. Previously the icon was partially obscured and so wasn't fully clickable.
• We now display a message on the Edit permissions screen when permissions are granted to a webgroup which restricts who can see its list of members. To view the members of a group which has permissions on your page, select the link labelled (who?), which is displayed next to the group name. When a webgroup restricts who can see its list of members, SiteBuilder will typically only display the names of the webgroup's owners, but all of the webgroup's members will still have the specified permissions.
• We continued work which will enable complex pages such as homepage layouts to be converted to the Components Editor.

We released SiteBuilder 2.507 on Tuesday 14^th June 2022. In this version we made the following bug fixes and improvements to the Components Editor:

• We made some improvements to single-choice rating sets and multiple-choice rating sets in forms, to ensure they are compliant with accessibility guidelines. We also applied these changes to the form page template in the old visual editor.
• We introduced more settings when adding buttons to your page. You can now select Extra Large from the Buttons size dropdown, and you can also set the Text alignment of each button's label. To add buttons to your page, select Add special features from the left-hand menu and select Buttons from the sub-menu.
• We made improvements to the Copy page contents form to make it easier to use, including adding help text and providing clearer validation messages. See our help page for details of how to copy the contents of a Components Editor page, in order to overwrite another page.
• We fixed a bug so that the text in a hero block is now displayed at the same size in both the Components Editor and on the published page. To add a hero block to your page, select Add layout blocks from the left-hand menu and select Hero block at the bottom of the displayed options.
• We fixed a bug which caused content inside a block to be deleted when toggling between list styling options, such as Unordered list and Ordered list.
• We now trim whitespace characters from the start and end of URLs when defining the source URL in a content feed component. To use a content feed component in your page, select Add content feeds from the left-hand menu. From the sub-menu you can select to add a news feed, calendar feed, content feed from another page, data entry feed or Twitter feed.
• We fixed a bug which caused buttons to be disabled for Firefox users when managing tags at a news page. We also fixed this bug in the old visual editor.
• We continued work which will enable complex pages such as homepage layouts to be converted to the Components Editor.
