🎨 UI improvements
Buttons appearance
As you will notice below, we've implemented improvements to the appearance of buttons:
- The gradient on the buttons' backgrounds has been eliminated.
- Buttons are now borderless, except for the "Default" button, which retained its borders since it has the same background as the default background.
Increased contrast
We increased the contrast for the info button of the Flamingo Theme to comply with the minimum contrast defined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
Headings appearance
To enhance the readability of headings, we've increased their boldness. Moreover, the difference in size between two consecutive levels has been increased.
Default radius of UI elements
The default radius of UI elements of the Flamingo Skin is now about 1.75 times larger.
Live Data in Batch Restore
The list of deleted pages that is displayed when restoring a batch of pages uses Live Data instead of Livetable.
Live Data in the Attachments section of the Page Index
The Attachments page displayed in the Index now uses Live Data instead of a Livetable for displaying the information.
✨ CKEditor improvements
Quick image insertion
For a seamless experience, you can now search for and insert images using the keyboard, only by typing / (slash) and selecting the image Quick Action. This opens a drop-down that lists the latest images uploaded to the wiki. You can also upload new images directly from the drop-down as shown below.
🚀 Other improvements
What's New display improvements
The display of the What's New Application has been improved to better define separate news and allow for better accessibility.
Required rights
When the permissions of the current user differ from those of the page's original author, a required rights analyzer is executed.
This analyzer will issue a warning under the following circumstances:
- If the current user has more permissions than the content author (for instance, a macro that previously failed due to insufficient permissions may now be evaluated).
- If the current user has fewer permissions than the content author (resulting in a previously functional macro not working due to insufficient permissions).
