SiteBuilder release notes

SiteBuilder 2.518 released

We released SiteBuilder 2.518 on Thursday 6^th October 2022. In this version:

We released a new version of the Resource Bookings page template, which replaces the previous version. The new version includes:
- Accessibility improvements to make it easier for users browsing using assistive technologies, such as screen readers, and users browsing using only a keyboard.
- Improved display on small screens, such as mobile devices.
- Easier identification and management of repeated periods of unavailability for editors.
We fixed some bugs affecting dialogs in SiteBuilder forms, including an issue which prevented users from adding or editing form data sets, and also some problems which affected how those dialogs displayed to form editors (including users in Safari).
We fixed a bug which prevented users from being able to overwrite files, when selecting to keep the properties of the original file(s).

N.B. Since releasing this change we temporarily restored the previous version of Resource Bookings while investigating some issues. We will re-enable the new version as soon as possible, and provide a more detailed summary of the changes in an upcoming noticeboard post.
