What's New
Jahia 8.2.3 is a maintenance release, continuing the work that was started by the Jahia team in 8.2.0, and starting from 8.2.3.2 also containing the major security fixes listed in the Security Advisories section.
Our in-context editing UI, Page Builder now offers feature parity with legacy Page Composer, and is considered ready to be used in production on a daily basis. Since jContent 3.4, we did some light but important improvements in our media management UI:
- Display assets usages in views and pickers
- Change single-click select behavior to not start a multiselect in thumbnails view if Ctrl, Meta or Shift is not pressed
- Display mimetype in content editor header and cards (thumbnail views and pickers)
- Show thumbnails in list view when available
- Page Composer remains available to ensure a smooth transition for organizations
JavaScript modules engine v1.2 is shipped with 8.2.3. It's fully ready for production and several projects are successfully using this technology. It is also fully compatible with OpenJDK. The Jahia team remains dedicated to making this new capability successful.
Other important changes include:
- Full rework of http headers for cache control, to optimize caching by browsers and CDNs, from assets to full pages
- A new Authentication service available in OSGi
- CSRF Guard is now disabled by default for unauthenticated users (guest)
- UI improvements in the tools
- Support for newer versions of databases
