Scrivito 1.8.0 Release Notes

Improvements

Content Browser

The Content Browser is significantly faster now because it loads much more data in parallel. Just watch the main area while image thumbnails are being displayed!

Also, the multi-selection mode is now directly accessible in the user interface. It lets you select several items instead of just one.

This comes in handy if, for example, you want to delete a bunch of outdated images or the like. The multi-selection switch becomes available if the Content Browser is opened via the sidebar. Note that toggling the mode deselects all items.

More responsive changes list with better sorting

We've improved the look and feel of the changes dialog that lets you comfortably access the modified CMS objects of a working copy. Not only are the changes loaded much faster now, the not yet visible ones also show up continuously and smoothly as you scroll down.

The list of changed CMS objects can now be sorted using a drop-down menu instead of column headers. There are three sort criteria, last change date, object type name, and modification type. For each of them, both sort directions (ascending and descending) are available.

Configurable minimum request timeout

The Scrivito SDK fetches the content to display from the Scrivito backend located in European data centers. In case the content is requested from a far-off location, the response times might be longer than the SDK permits, resulting in a failure to load the data in time. To remedy this, you can now configure the minimum timeouts to apply to connections to the Scrivito API endpoint:

These timeouts override shorter timeouts specified on a per-request basis, but not longer ones.

Other improvements

  • The Content Browser now ignores CMS objects of the MigrationStore type. Such objects are used by the SDK internally to identify migrations that have already been run.
  • The Scrivito::Workspace.use('workspace title') method now fails with a proper error message if there is no working copy with the given title. Previously, it failed with an unclear error message.
